WSBC Core Class

The Core Class is our initiative for "Sunday School" born out of a desire to do what "Sunday School" is meant to do, namely, disciple our congregants toward maturity in Jesus through learning Bible and theology. This ministry year, we believe that the Core Class will be a place where our church can Grow in the GRACE God has GIVEN biblically and theologically and Go Serve in Community selflessly and compassionately DRIVEN by that GRACE for the Glory of Jesus and His Gospel. We are Grace Given & Grace Driven!

SCHEDULE:

This Core Class will meet weekly during the Ministry Year (Sept.- May).

The Core Class is offered in 3 distinct settings:

Wednesday Nights, 7-8pm
- in the Fireside Room for Adults
- in Room 102 for HSM, Colloge and Young Adults
Sunday School hour, 11:30-12:30pm,
- in the Fireside Room for Adults following the Sunday Worship Service

The Core Class will present the same teaching and material in all 3 settings by utilizing our subscription to RightNow Media and led by a terrific team of facilitators. Our goal is for you to join us in discovering and displaying the Transformation that can only be experienced in and through Jesus Christ!

NEW CORE CLASS STARTS WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15

The Pilgrim's Progress: A Guided Tour

We'll join respected pastor and theologian Dr. Derek Thomas as he takes readers along this allegorical journey, showing that Christians have as much to gain from this book today as they did hundreds of years ago.

Dust off your copy or get a new one, and let's read, grow, and experience together the transformational grace found in the christian life lessons of this 300 year old masterpiece.

Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that marriage does not mean 'til death do us part, but merely for as long as my needs are being met; and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution.

According to the Bible, all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is all about. In this six-session video-based Bible study ( guide sold separately), Timothy Keller, along with Kathy, his wife of forty years, draws a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture that neither idealizes nor rejects the institution but points us back to the relationship between God and man. The result is a vision for marriage that is refreshingly frank and unsentimental, yet hopeful and beautiful.

This study is for anyone from singles to couples considering marriage to those who have been married recently or for a long time.

Sessions include:

Service: Marriage Isn't about You
Covenant: Created to Make Promises
Roles: Loving through Mutual Submission
Singleness: Strengthening the Spiritual Family
Sex: The Act of Covenant Renewal
Hope: Seeing the Great Horizon
