King David: Learning from Mistakes
The account of King David in 1-2 Samuel reveals a complex man—an adept leader with substantial weaknesses. If we focus so much on David’s good qualities that we miss the dark side of the man, we miss valuable lessons. In this discussion-based class we will consider not only David’s honorable actions but also his treachery and cruelty and ask ourselves how we can learn from his mistakes.
Teacher and Class Coordinator: Michael & Lynne Cosby (respectively)

Cahoots! (formerly College and 20's & 30's classes)

Room C9
Grab your Bible and put on the full armor of God! It's time to be in Cahoots with us while we study Yahweh: Divine Encounters in the OT. Some of our topics include Why Study the Whole Bible?, Does It Matter Where We Came From?, Getting Wise on Evil, Worshiping Completely, and Obeying God When It Just Doesn't Makes Sense. This class has been developed to merge our 20's & 30's generations in a whole new learning experience. Our goal is to share with and learn from each other for a meaningful study of God's word.

Room C7
A review in the Denver Journal asks the question "whether Jesus would identify with much that goes under the banner of Christianity today (and whether contemporary Christians would like Jesus all that much or seek to kill him as a heretic)!"

McLaren's A Generous Orthodoxy: Why I am a Missional, Evangelical, Post/Protestant, Liberal/Conservative, Mystical/Poetic, Biblical, Charismatic/Contemplative, Fundamentalist/Calvinist, Anabaptist/Anglican, Methodist, Catholic, Green, Incarnational, Depressed-Yet-Hopeful, Emergent, Unfinished Christian.

Rooms C8-10
Hebrews – Straight from Scripture
We will be studying the book of Hebrews, a masterful document originally written to Jews who were evaluating Christ’s impact or struggling in their newfound faith. It reveals God’s divine plan in establishing Jesus as the superior one and His ultimate sufficiency for our own salvation. Hebrews helps us understand the practical implications of following Christ and ways to sustain our faith daily. Come on this scriptural journey with us and find comfort and reassurance within God’s new covenant for us…The Messiah. We are multi-generational so all are welcome. The class will enjoy a Christmas breakfast and lesson in December.
Class Coordinator: Patti Hess
Teachers: Geoff Isley & Richard Roberson
