REACH Conference 2023
This year’s REACH Conference took place on Sundays during the month of February. Each of the classes that were offered are listed and described below along with links to listen to the recorded audio.
GROW:
As Christ-followers, we should always be seeking to grow in our knowledge of and love for God. Join us as we discuss what it means to pursue spiritual growth.
Facilitated by Jason and Alyse Creed Audio Link
CONSIDER:
“…consider others better than yourself.” Philippians 2.3
In I Thessalonians 1.6, Paul challenges the Thessalonian church to be “Imitators of us”. The rest of chapter one and the bulk of chapter two talk about what that actually looks like. This section of scripture is a commentary on Paul’s sacrifice for the church, and the impact that had. Are we really expected to imitate that?
Facilitated by Trey Smith Audio Link
BE:
“Being God’s people is a calling into a life that sets us apart from the world. What motivates and unifies us to treat ourselves and those around us differently? Come discuss how we can be active participants in bringing the Gospel to our community in a tangible way that demonstrates God’s love, mercy, and grace to those “random” and “regular” people in our lives.”
Facilitated by Michael OBriant and Sam Young Audio Link
USE:
“As Study of the discovery and implementation of Spiritual Gifts. We’ll look at what they are and are not, why God gives us gifts, and how to employ them. Facilitated by Phil Gold Audio Link
DREAM:
“In this combined class, we will take some time to discuss and dream up some ways that we might best begin implementing some of our vision objectives. Bring your creativity and your ideas as we begin the practical work of putting our vision into practice.”
Facilitated by Scott Allen Audio Link
Wednesday Study @ 7PM
Reading Betweent the Lines: Discovering the Writing Styles Found in the Bible
Join us at 7:00pm on Wednesday nights in the Fellowship Hall for this companion study to our Sunday morning class. Scott Allen will be leading us through this study during the month of May as we take a look at the different writing styles and genres found in scripture.
Sunday Study @ 9AM
Grasping God’s Word: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible
Join us on Sunday mornings at 9:00am for this eight-week learning experience facilitated by some of our Shepherds. We will be covering topics such as: Bible translations, historical and cultural context, how to read sentences, paragraphs, and discourses, and more.
This class will also incorporate a couple of “table work” days where we put into practice what we’re learning with a small group of people.
We would love for all of our adults to participate in this study as this will be foundational and practical information for future discussions as we continue to strive to be better students of the Word.
