James is written to persons who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. The main thrust is the importance of the moral conduct in everyday relationships. James says that faith which does not find an expression in the overt acts of the believer is not the genuine product. “You say the way to God is by faith alone, plus nothing; well, I say that good works are important too, for without good works you can’t prove whether you have faith or not; but anyone can see that I have faith by the way I act.” James 2:18 (LB)

FOUNDATIONS
Core Truths to Build Your Life on
By Kay Warren & Tom Holladay
LED BY CLASS MEMBERS
Many Christians today live their lives, plan their schedules, and use their resources completely disconnected from what they say they believe. This spiritual disconnect is the cause of so much of the stress and problems in our lives. Foundations is a fresh, innovative curriculum about the essential truths of the Christian faith and how these truths are to be lived out – in your relationships, your character, and your work. This course shows you how to apply biblical truths and implement them in your everyday life.

Join us for this study and discover how to express unconditional feelings of respect, affection and commitment that will inspire your child for the rest of his life.

”FRAMING YOUR WORLD VIEW”

DVD Series by
Chuck Colson & Rick Warren

LED BY DAVID WIDEMAN
MEETING IN ROOM 29
10:30 – 11:30 a.m.

Our worldview-the way we look at life-impacts everything we do. The moral choices we make; the way we spend our money; the kind of relationships we have; the priorities we set.

THE QUESTION IS:

• Is our worldview fully shaped by Christian truth?

• And do we know the best way to detect and counter the false values of our culture?

Colson & Warren
Tackle today’s key issues:

Truth vs. Relativism
Creationism vs. Darwinism
Tolerance, Terrorism & much more

In WideAngle you will learn the biblical basis for a Christian worldview, and its application to every facet of life.

SELECTED PSALMS
DVD WITH STEPHEN LUNGU
Led by George Mingledorff

March 30 – May 11

Martin Luther, in his preface to his work on the Psalms, said: “Every prophecy and every prophet must be understood as referring to Christ the Lord, except where it is clear from plain words that someone else is spoken of. For thus He Himself says: ‘Search the Scrip-tures,…and it is they that bear witness to Me’ (John 5:39). Otherwise it is most certain that the searchers will not find what they are searching for.”

To be joined to the Messiah in His relation-ship with His Father is the deepest and high-est experience in all creation. The greatest honor of our lives is to participate in His sufferings. The Psalms guide us into that experience.

Psalms 20-29 Will Be Covered:

• The Lord Saves His Christ
• The Psalm of the Cross
• The Psalm of the Ascension
• In You I Trust, O My God
• The Lord Is My Salvation

The Five Love Languages
By Gary Chapman
“How To Express Heartfelt
Commitment To Your Mate”

Led by Brad & Kate Smith

Dr. Chapman says, “My conclusion after
30 years of marriage counseling is that there are five ways that people speak and under-stand emotional love….The number of ways to express love within a love language is limited only by one’s imagination. The important thing is to speak the love language of our spouse.”
When you do, you’ll know the joy of being able to express your love and feeling loved in return
