The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible – Fr. Tripp Jeffords – Class meets in Ambler Hall (upstairs) *Class will break until Oct 13*
In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You’ll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God’s Word. Join us for Faith Formation as we learn about the heavenly realm, fallen angels, the giants of Genesis 6,
the adversary of Job 2, and more. This is not what you grew up with in Sunday School! Ephesians 6 tells us that a Christian’s primary adversaries exist in the unseen realm. Paul writes, “12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…” Paul goes on to mention in II Corinthians 4 that Satan is “the
god of this world.” How do Christians make sense of it all? Let’s take a journey together. 

Bringing Clarity from Confusion and Chaos – Dr. Mark Greenslit – Class meets in Skardon Hall
Do you ever wonder what in the world is going on?! We live in a hour that is unsettling, to say the least, in culture that is confused and in chaos. Learn how
Christianity, the best explanation of reality, is rationally defensible. Understand, by looking through the lens of Christian world view, how to find footing in our ever changing cultural landscape, and how Christianity, God’s plan for human flourishing, is the hope for all mankind. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

A Quest For More—Korey Kincaid, Assistant Rector – Class meets in the Atrium.
Two-thousand years ago Jesus turned to His disciples and said, “Seek first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33). How many of us would say we are doing that, but want to go deeper as to how it applies to all areas of our lives. How many ofus would say we are doing that, but our inward propensity to focus on ourselves betrays our real actions of how we live. What Jesus was really communicating two-thousand years ago is that when I opt for a me-centered more, what I actually get is always much, much less. We are all kingdom builders, but the question is: whose kingdom are we building? This Faith Formation class will introduce the big picture view of what it means to 1) pursue and live for the building of God’s Kingdom 2) pursue the glory of God 3) Put God at the center of life 4) Understand that Christ is my source, motive, goal, and hope 5)Finding my meaning, identity, and purpose in the existence, character, and plan of God 6) Develop a deep, abiding, life-shaping affection for Jesus that fuels everything in life 7) An unquenchable zeal for God’s cause with love and charity, especially in an
election year Hope rests in God alone, daily trusting that
