2019 Fall Sunday School will begin with our Sunday School Kickoff Brunch on September 8 and conclude on December 8.
Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work
Teachers: Steve Lanier and Franky Garcia
Classroom: 2A
This Sunday School class is an interactive Bible study using Timothy Keller’s book Every Good Endeavor as our guide to explore the intriguing theology of vocation. For example, Keller makes this observation from the Scriptures as it concerns a correct perspective on our work, “Our daily work can be a calling only if it is reconceived as God’s assignment to serve others. And that is exactly how the Bible teaches us to view work.”
Your teachers for this class will bring insights from the Bible and guide our discussions as we learn together what God has called us to in our different vocations. There’s no need to purchase the book even though it is a great addition to any library.
Same Lake, Different Boat: Coming Alongside People Touched by Disability
Teachers & Facilitators: Otis & Julie Pickett, Jay & Trace Roberson, Zack & Kristen Owens
Classroom: 218/19
Jesus spent a remarkable amount of time with those who suffered physically: the blind, the lame, the sick, and the poor. This makes us pause and ask: how can Redeemer Church become a warm, welcome, accommodating, weeping, and rejoicing place for those who suffer with disability and chronic illness?
Learning from each other (the testimonies of our own church family touched by disability)—as well as the book Same Lake, Different Boat by Stephanie Hubach—we’ll dig deep into God’s Word, our culture, and our stories to care for one another, ensure that an essential part of our Body is not missing, and walk together towards a better way.
Women’s Class: The Attributes of God in Proverbs
Teachers: KC Jones, Sheila Nasekos, Sarah Grafton, Felicia Forrest, Shirley Tucker, Susan McCaffery, Joya McNeil, Mandy Penny, Haley Arndt, Lara Jensen, Jewell Hillery, Kateri Gill, Erin Fults, Sherry Lanier
Classroom: Fellowship Hall
This class is designed for all of the women of Redeemer Church to come together to study the attributes of God through Proverbs, to fellowship, and to pray. We will primarily focus on the characteristics of our Heavenly Father while reflecting on the overarching idea of walking in wisdom.
The book of Proverbs has been used as a tool of discernment for Christians who need to be reminded of the truth of God’s word in daily living. Solomon draws attention to the kind of life we are called to as believers and the importance of seeking the Lord in all things. Because of this, it is essential to know who the Lord is before we can emulate His character. Great insight can be gained from reading through such wisdom literature with a fresh perspective and it is an added joy and privilege to be able to do so alongside our sisters in Christ!
In this class, various women will take on the challenge of preparing and teaching the lessons each Sunday and use their individual gifts to bless the group. Each class will be opened for discussion to complement each lecture. Our study on the book of Proverbs will center our focus on God and the diverse richness of His being!
On the Hearts of Men: Biblical Manhood
Teachers: Kelle Menogan, Paul Rankin, Scott Marshall, Grant Callen, Brian Gault, Phillip Holmes, Otis Picket, DeSean Dyson
Classroom: 203/4
Using personal testimonies of Redeemer men, we will address issues facing men in the Christian life through a biblical frame.
We’ll explore our roles as fathers, husbands, friends, and church members. We’ll look at authenticity and integrity, grief and loss, brokenness and victory. We’ll think about risk taking and where cultural expectations fall short, and more.
Along the way, we’ll be asking the questions, How do we apply biblical truth in all that God calls me to do and be as a man? What hinders me from enjoying the freedom Christ offers?
Redeemer Explored
Teachers: Elbert McGowan, Barry McCay
Classroom: 103
Would you like to know more about Redeemer Church? Are you interested in becoming a member? If so, you need to take this class. Pastor Elbert McGowan, along with the elders, will teach this 10-week introductory course on the ins and outs of Redeemer Church and how you can get involved.
If you are ready to join Redeemer or have further questions, you will have the opportunity to meet with an elder at the end of the class.
