THE GOSPEL…
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin
is death but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrated
His love for us in this - that while we
were sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans: 10:9 - If you declare with
your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and
believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are
you saved through faith and not of
yourselves. It is a gift from God, not
of works, lest any man should boast.

4. FAMILY BIBLE HOUR ADULT CLASSES
The Family Bible Hour teachers and committee are excited to give
you a sneak peek of what is in store for you starting September 9th
at
9:30 a.m.
The Bible: God’s Story of Redemption taught by Pastor Joe and Kurt
Postma
Join us as we work through the Bible as it unfolds God's plan of
redeeming humanity. You will come away with an overview of
the drama of Scripture and the pattern of creation, fall, and
redemption.
After taking this class, you'll be able to identify the major
themes and crucial moments in Scripture that play a role in
God's story. You'll also develop the tools to understand and
study the Bible, and dive into the book that tells the story of the
most hopeful way of life. Join us!
Investigating the 400 Silent Years taught by Tyler Cook and Barry
Dekker
A simple turn of the page and you leave behind the Old
Testament to enter the New Testament but you'll also soon
notice that the world in which Jesus travels bears little
resemblance to the one left behind in Malachi. Not a single
divine spokesperson appeared before the nation during the
years between the Old and New Testaments. They heard
nothing from God…nothing but silence.
So, what happened during those Silent Years? Where was God?
What happened to the Nation? How did they reconcile with the
silence?
This semester, we will investigate and unpack the major events
and developments the Jewish people experienced over the 400
years of silence and how it impacted and shaped the world and
culture that Jesus ministered in.
Experience the Bible in Its Historical Context taught by John Tooke and
Jay Riemersma
Every verse in the Bible has context. Context, which has to do
with culture, time, author, audience, the geographical and
political situations helps us understand the occasion and
purpose of the Bible.
Each week you’ll come away with a deeper appreciation of the
Scriptures, how the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
intersects cultures, lives and deepens our Christian Walk
Come - as we experience the Bible in its Historical Context with
the teaching ministry of Ray VanderLaan’s "That The World May
Know" video lessons in partnership with Focus on the Family
ministries.
Understanding Your Bible taught by Pastor Gary and Harold Kimbel
Do you find the Bible too complex and hard to figure out?
Many times we say “Leave it to the pastor, he’s the expert.” But
did you know that God meant for everyone to read and
understand it? It is actually written for everyone to grasp Its
Truths with a few fundamental principles.
This straightforward approach to the Bible is known as
dispensationalism...how God has worked throughout history.
Join us as we learn what God has to say to us about his Word
through the different periods of history.
