Divine Encounters in the Old Testament taught by Pastor Trinity OppSundays, 10:30 amThe Old Testament is a record of people who unmistakably encountered God. These encounters changed lives, shaped history, and brought about redemption for the entire human race. This study gives you the opportunity to encounter God and see how God divinely revealed Himself throughout His Word. You will discover the struggles of key characters within the creation story, examine the examples of patriarchs, wrestle with the leadership of judges, study the lives of kings and prophets and delve into the impact of other selected men and women who followed God whole-heartedly.Location: Gym/FLC

Crazy Love taught by Tom SchofieldSundays, 10:30 am Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts — it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same.Location: Room 114
