The Parables of Christ II
Fellowship Hall West
George McFarland (facilitator), Ralph Bremerman, Merle Brubaker
One of the most common forms of our Savior’s teaching was the use of parables. In these, he often used common and ordinary elements to teach spiritual principles. In effect, they are “earthly stories with heavenly meanings.” We will examine Christ’s use of these tools and gain lessons about a variety of subjects. Come and discuss these profound stories and meanings. We will be using Dr. Boice’s book on the parables as our guide.

Confession of Faith II

Ron DiGiacomo (facilitator), Mike Carr
A two semester class (fall and winter) is offered on the Westminster Confession of Faith. The class aims to explain the theology of the Westminster Divines. Regarding those doctrines distinct to the Reformed tradition (e.g. God’s Decree; Free Will; Covenant Baptism…), a defense will be put forth in light of other evangelical views so that students might become more equipped to defend the system of doctrine found in Scripture.

The class outline will follow the chronological ordering of events in Israel’s history and will therefore integrate the prophetic writings into the course material as these events unfold along the timeline.

Men, begin the sabbath together with us at Tenth! We begin our study of the deception of sin as composed by Thomas Watson. “Paul’s preaching was ‘not with enticing words of wisdom—but in the demonstration of the Spirit and power,’ 1 Corinthians 2:4. Plainness is ever best in beating down sin!”
