"To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: " 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not mourn.' For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by her actions."

Matthew 11:16-19

Adult (TBD) Chapel Missions- is purposeful evangelism an abstract concept or a present reality? In this course, we are going to explore how the gospel is spreading at home (in Jerusalem) and around the (uttermost parts of the) world. The class will mix surveys of the state of missions in different areas with biblical application. Adult (Jim Evans & William Mizell) Fellowship Hall Thinking Christian- Being a Christian should change the way we think about everything- right and wrong, marriage, divorce, raising our children, politics, and even what we eat! Join us as we explore Scripture to build a biblical worldview and consider what difference "thinking Christian" will make on our daily lives. High school students welcome!
