The adult Sabbath School meets for approximately 1 hour starting at 9:30 on Saturday mornings. The program is roughly divided into two sections of half an hour each.
Each week one person from a team of about 6 or so people are responsible for the program during the first half hour. Each person brings their own unique viewpoint to these programs, and it is always interesting to hear the broad spectrum of ideas and insights that this generates.
The second half hour is devoted to Bible study. Each week, members of the the various classes study a shared lesson pamplet, and then on Saturday morning the classes meet to talk about the past week's lesson and to share their ideas and insights raised during that week.
For the next 3 months (July to September 2010) our Bible Study features "Redemption in Romans". The topic is one that could occupy a whole year so only key chapters will be studied. It is important that anyone studying the book of Romans understands the books historical background. We will, in imagination, take ourselves back to Rome and sit in the pews of the church building with the congregation as they read through the letter from Paul and reflect on what the Holy spirit inspired him to write. We will look at the impact of the writings on others such as Martin Luther who felt a great moving from Paul's suggestion on how to live - "The just shall live by faith" and see how it can motivate us in the 21st Century.
Our study will show that it is not just an historical letter, but one with an assurance of salvation for you, today. The book will grow on you as you move through its pages and apply the principles outlined to your own life.
Study topics include, "Who has sinned", "Being made right with God", "Getting victory over sin", "There is Freedom in Jesus", and "Love and the Law". You are welcome to study with us.
