The Truth Project Part 2
By Focus on the Family
Leader: Gary Williams
Room: B 202 | Cost: $0
The truth project is a DVD-based small group curriculum taught by Dr. Del Tackett, instructor of Christian Worldview at the Focus Leadership institute. This study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life. “We believe this curriculum can be a catalyst for exponential change within the body of Christ as people are “transformed by the renewing of their mind” (Romans 12:2). God continues to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world.
Expecting to See Jesus
By Ann Graham Lotz
Leader: Cheryl Shellabarger
Room: D 208-10 | Cost: $5.00
In this eight-session expanded edition of I Saw The LORD, Anne Graham Lotz calls Christians to wake up to the fact Jesus may come in their lifetime. She guides small groups in seeing the Lord in a fresh way, so that each participant can have a genuine experience of life-changing, fire-blazing personal revival. Accompanied by Dr. Crawford Loritts and Dr. Henry Blackaby, and using key biblical characters as examples, they share the revival lessons learned through examination of their lives as recorded in Scripture.
Living The Word
Leader: Ben Mitchell
Room:D 214 | Cost $14.00
We are blessed at First Baptist Church to hear the Word of God faithfully preached and taught. The difficulty I have sometimes is applying that Word to every aspect of my life. So, in our class we’ll work through two books that will help us do that. First, we’ll read Jonathan Leeman’s recent book, Reverberation: How God’s Word Brings Light, Freedom, and Action to His People. This book is on Pastor Justin’s list of recommended books and is a gold mine of ways the preached Word is to reverberate through our lives both individually and as a church. Next, we’ll read Norman Wirzba’s, Living the Sabbath: Discovering the Rhythms of Rest and Delight. We’ll think about the ways “sabbath living” can change the way we live, work, and rest.
Chewing the Cud: Meditation for Application
Leader: Justin Wainscott
Room D 200
Cud is that portion of food returning from the cow’s stomach to its mouth to be chewed for the second time. While it’s not the most pleasant of thoughts or images, it is a fitting analogy for the aim of this class, where the sermon text from that morning will be “chewed on” for the second time.
During each session, the sermon text and the truths brought out in the sermon from that Sunday morning will be discussed further amongst the group. The participants will have had much of the day to think and meditate on those truths and should, therefore, be easily prepared to discuss the implications and applications together.
We want the Word of God to move beyond just the pulpit and the pews; we want it to take root deep in our hearts and lives. We believe this class is a great way for that to begin happening.
