Anxious Generations

Various Teachers | Fellowship Central

Digital technology impacts every generation. Will we allow screens, social media, and smartphones to hinder our faithfulness to Christ? Or will we be proactive about drawing boundaries so we can thrive as disciples? Professors, doctors, ministers, and members of this church will weigh in, addressing topics like education, security, video games, sports betting, counseling, and news media. Don’t try to navigate these difficulties alone! Join us and learn how to flourish in a digital age.

Turning from idols, waiting for His Son

Phil Lewis | A105-106

When Paul wrote 1 and 2 Thessalonians, he summarized our faith and life as Christians in a few phrases. (1) We turn away from idols (2) We turn towards the living and true God (3) We wait for His Son Jesus to return from heaven. This class will expand on these components of faith. What God has done for us, our need to turn our backs on false gods, how to serve the one true God, and our hope for Christ’s second coming.
