Spring 2010 Sunday School Class Taught by John Zareva

Part of the doctrinal Sunday School series.

Is there any greater question in the universe then, “What must I do to be saved?” Come join us as we walk through the doctrine of salvation in all its aspects. Using the doctrinal statement of the church as our reference we will discuss the agreed upon and controversial aspects of this most important doctrine. In addition, we will seek to find out how this is more than knowledge for us, but how these great truths show themselves in our daily lives.

UPDATED: 3/17/09

This class is one of four adult Sunday School classes being offered this quarter.

In the early days of the church, no single doctrinal development was as important as the Trinity – as taught systematically in the New Testament. In fact, many were deemed as heretics because of their false teachings with regard to various aspects of this doctrine (such as the denial of both the full deity and the ful humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ).

Even today many cults come to our doors to teach us their thoughts on this doctrine! Join us as we examine this foundational truth through an investigation of our statement of faith, the teachings and heresies in the early church, and by examining the Scriptures to find its importance to us today. We’ll discover that the more we know of God’s revelation of Himself, the deeper our love for Him will be!

If you would like to become a member of Blue Ridge or simply get more acquainted with what we are about, then come to our next class during the Sunday School hour on the four Sundays in February. Anyone (even current members who want to know more about the church) from ages 13 and up can come. Some of the topics discussed are baptism and communion, what membership means, service, spiritual gifts and how to specifically apply them to this body, and our form of government. The demeanor is relaxed and open for discussing and answering your questions. Please RSVP to Debbie Stevenson (debbie@brbible.org or on the bulletin tear-off) in order to get your informational materials prior to our first class.

The class “Becoming a Titus 2 Women” will be studying a book of the same title by Martha Peace and is designed as a prerequisite to our women’s discipleship program. If you are interested in being discipled one-on-one by another woman or learning how to disciple another woman (perhaps your own daughter) in her walk with Christ, this is the class for you. Follow the link for more details and to sign-up.

The women who attended this class last fall were incredibally encouraged in their Christian walk and nearly 50 of them went on to join our women’s discipleship program. You will be challenged and blessed by this class! Vickie Farris will be leading the class which starts on September 7. Space is limited to the first 25 women who sign up for the class. (If you have taken the class last year, please allow new women to sign up.) This class repeats every fall.

We are adding one more adult Sunday School class.  It’s an eight-week study of spiritual gifts, taught by John Casserino, beginning July 13 at 9:45 a.m.  And don’t forget we also have another terrific class on Romans 5-8 taught by Steve Heidorn.  Come join in, enjoy the fellowship, and learn the Bible together this summer!
