MARCH 23 - MAY 4
Disability and the Local Church
As followers of Jesus, the Church is called to work together as one body. In this class, we’ll discuss the concept of enfolding people with disabilities into the life and mission of our church. We’ll center our discussions on Biblical principles, and will work towards application as we consider stories from several Grace members and others with practice in this work.
Caring for Aging Parents
“Honor your father and mother.” When Paul quoted this commandment, he noted that it came with a promise. What does it mean to honor? What is the instruction and wisdom from Scripture that helps us obey this commandment when we are no longer under our parents’ roof? How does this commandment apply when we need to care for our parents? Together we’ll consider a host of these questions, jumbled with the messiness of being part of a family, in a fallen world, yet called to obey and glorify God.
Jacob, Esau, and Mount Sinai?
Jacob and Esau were long gone by the time God revealed himself at Mt. Sinai, but their story echoes throughout the Ten Commandments. By mapping that human story onto these divine laws, we’ll discover surprising insights into what God wants to say to us through them.
