1. Adult Sunday School Electives
2 choices for spiritual growth and fellowship… September 2, 2012
Make Sunday School a part of your life! 10:00 a.m.
Beginning September 16th from 9:30 to 10:25 a.m.
Pastor Matt Amundsen
TrueFaced - living in an environment of grace “It is Finished”
TrueFaced draws a clear distinction between two very different underlying
motives: my determination to please God or to trust Him. The resulting difference John 19:30 & Assorted Scripture
from these two starting points could not be more profound. One results in a
striving that never feels it has done enough to please Him. The other results in
a trust that experiences His full pleasure. Our motives as followers of Christ will
either keep us in unresolved sin and immaturity or free us into God's astonishing
dream for our life. Join other adults for this interactive study on the realities of
the grace life. Bryan Booker will teach this 7 week mixed adult class that will
challenge you to the fullness of living TrueFaced in Christ!
Required (Before you Attend Week 1 - September 16th):
Dedicate 31 minutes and 12 seconds of your life to watch John Lynch's Biola
University Chapel presentation on YouTube.com (type John Lynch Biola DON’T FORGET….Service Time Change Next Sunday
University Chapel into the search box). It is also recommended (but not required)
to buy the book TrueFaced; the Experience Edition. ISBN: 978-1576836934. from 10:00 am to 10:45 a.m.
There are seven chapters - You would study one chapter before each class.

Real people, real struggles, real issues. How did the people of the Bible come

to understand God’s plan in their lives? Their well-known stories sometimes
get lost in the modern world, but there are great applications to how they came
to faith in God and how we can learn from them. In this “character” study, you Our Mission: Learning from God’s Word…
will see the victories, defeats, joys and sorrows of your own life as well. God Growing in God’s Grace…Reaching with God’s Love!
enters into the affairs of men, taking their failures and using them as a refining
fire to bring about His ultimate purpose.
