International Sunday School series, Monday evenings 7:00 p.m.      

Location: Currently on hiatus.

Facilitator: Alternates among members

          During the spring quarter, March 2009, we will explore the creative nature of Christ as it affects human life and the implications of his life for the world in which we live.
     Unit I, "The Promise of New Life," looks at five well-known passages from Ezekiel. The first three sessions examine new life as it was promised to Israel in exile. Sessions 4 and 5 look to the future God promised, as it would be fulfilled many generations later in Jesus Christ.
     Unit II, "The Path to New Life," is developed from three passages in Luke and one in Acts. Sessions 6 and 7 examine the suffering and death of Jesus and his triumph over death on the first Easter Sunday. Session 8 continues with the last resurrection appearance of Jesus in Luke. Session 9 finds Peter in Lydda and Joppa bringing new life to others in the name and power of Christ.
     Unit III, "The Way of New Life," explores Ephesians through five concepts in that letter: church as family, life, revelation, home life, and equipping ourselves for Christian Living.
