End Time Prophecies, Current Events, and the Future

Bob Yee (Room 206)
Thursdays @ 6:30 PM

This class is divided into a three-part study in the End Times focused on biblical prophecies, current events in the news today, and what they will bring in the Future. Prophecies such as:

  • The rebuilding of the Temple—must it be reconstructed; why, when, and where?
  • Is the Rapture real? Will there be signs before Jesus returns? Is the Israel and Hamas War one of those signs?
  • Jesus said, “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.” What did He mean?

Come find out what the Bible says about these events and more. Then learn and be ready for His second coming. A bonus, Introduction to a Proper Hermeneutic and Applied Apologetics will be offered.

Neuroscience and the Fruit of the Spirit

Dr. Kore & Michelle Liow (Prayer Room)
Sundays @ 8:30 AM

If a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit, why aren’t Christians manifesting more fruit of the Spirit? Neuroscience and the Fruit of Spirit is a sure guide for understanding the physiological basis for spirituality and ethical behavior. Bryan Spoon offers a dialogue between modern neuroscience and the Bible to reveal the physiological changes that occur when life is centered on love, joy, peace, and other fruit of the Spirit. Neuroscience shows that our brains have the capacity to rewire in as little as two weeks. The more our neural circuits fire together in a healthy way, the stronger these pathways become. The more our mind and will gear towards God’s Word, our whole person will become an expression of the fruit of the Spirit.

Lead So Others Can Follow

Tim & Joni Pagud (Room 206)

True leadership transcends mere titles; it involves living uncommonly with audacious faith that inspires others to emulate.

Lead So Others Can Follow by Jim Bradford offers practical advice drawn from his extensive pastoral experience. This course will give you tools to cultivate and develop a sustainable life philosophy, implement strategies centered on honoring Christ and people, and integrate spirituality, tactics, and resilience into your personal and professional life.

Growing Into Emotional Health

Rebecca Furuhashi (Room 207)
Sundays @ 10:15 AM

Have you ever had an incredible spiritual breakthrough at an altar call and the next week, had a huge blow up with a family member or close friend? Sometimes it seems as if our emotional maturity does not match our spiritual progress.

What is emotional health, from God’s perspective? This class will tackle our emotions and relational habits through the lens of Old and New Testament characters such as Joseph, David, Elijah, Jesus, Peter, and Paul. It will give you (and those under your leadership) practical skills to examine and process our feelings so that we create more room for God to speak and move in our lives.

We will also learn how to manage triggers, boundaries, and relational conflict. Come join us on a journey as we grow into emotional health in God.

A Tale of Three Kings: A Study in Brokenness

Angel Fredeluces (Prayer Room)
Sundays @ 5:00 PM

For those who have walked through tremendous pain, loss and heartache, this compelling story of Saul, David and Absalom brings comfort, healing, and hope. A Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards is one of the finest books ever written on brokenness. Taken from the pages of scripture, we will examine the lives and relationships between these men and gain insight, learning to trust God in your own struggles, whether in the family, church, workplace or among peers. We will get a glimpse into David’s life, though far from perfect, and see why God called him, “a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.” Let us grow as God intended, so that we may walk in wholeness and glorify Him by the way we live.
