Zechariah | September 10 – October 29 (8 weeks)
Room 204 | Carol Conaway & Jim McConnell
A book too often ignored, unknown, or little understood, Zechariah contains a wealth to be mined. As perhaps the most messianic book of the minor prophets we’ll consider how Zechariah lays out a wonderful, restorative hope and anticipates the dawning of a new era for God’s people.
Four Gospels, One Jesus? | September 10 – October 1 (4 weeks)
Room 205 | Ben Winder
Borrowing from Richard Burridge’s work in the book of the same title, we’ll consider how each of the four Gospel authors offer a distinctive portrait of Jesus. We’ll use the ancient symbols for the Gospels – human face, lion, ox, and eagle – to represent each book’s unique picture of Jesus which together help us understand Jesus more fully.
Equally Called | October 8 – October 29 (4 weeks)
Room 205 | Aimee Hobbs & Ben Winder
First Baptist affirms the participation of women and men in all aspects of church leadership and Christian ministry. In this four-week session we’ll consider how Scripture reveals God’s plan for all of humanity – male and female together – to serve God’s people, articulate the biblical and theological basis for affirming the calling of women, and discuss nurturing a culture that more fully welcomes women’s leadership.
