The End Times

Is Jesus coming soon? Are we living in the end times? What will happen when Jesus comes back? What are the signs of the end? Does God have a plan for this world? Is everything going to be burned? If you’re interested in the man of lawlessness, the number of the beast, the antichrist, or the final chapters of God’s story, then you will enjoy this class.

Hymn Stories for His People

The Gospel of Christ: A Study on Galatians [5:10-6:00PM]

The Church in Galatia was tempted to accept a different gospel, which is no gospel at all. They are confused and some false teachers are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But Paul is not trying to win the approval of men. He wants to win the approval of God as a servant of Christ. Come and find out what Paul writes about the true gospel and how he corrects the Church in Galatia.

This class exists to equip Christian men to mature in their faith. We want men at Memorial Road to grow in virtue, be transformed into the image of Christ, and be celebrated at the end of their lives as good men. This class also exists with a secondary goal: we want prepare men to be excellent elders, not merely acceptable elders. Based on the book The Measure of a Man by Gene Getz.
