"Love your neighbor" is one of the clearest commands in Scripture, but it can be an intimidating one to live out in our daily lives. So, we will take a few weeks to discuss what a Biblical view of hospitality looks like, hear some stories of people who have fumbled their way into being good neighbors, and begin to equip ourselves for taking the opportunities to share the Gospel that being a Biblical neighbor will bring our way. I hope you'll join us! *This course is required for all Brant County Launch Team members*

Cambridge Men’s Equip Class: Friendship

October 16, 2024 to December 4, 2024 | 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

od’s Word is clear about the importance of godly friendships — and how God designs them to complete us spiritually. If you ever hope to win the battles you face in your spiritual journey, you must be connected to godly men. The problem is that many men today act as if they don’t need friends — and they’re paying the price. Risking relationships is not easy for men, but it’s non-negotiable for God’s man. When you stand with others who share your spiritual goals, you achieve them faster. That’s God’s way. Godly friendships create consistency, provide care and support, stimulate healthy confession, produce new connections, and make you complete in Christ. They produce positive changes in your character, convictions, conduct, and commitment to do life God’s way. Join other men for this Equip Class with men's teacher, Kenny Luck and learn to build godly friendships in your life.

The New Testament from 30,000 Feet Equip Class

October 29, 2024 to November 19, 2024 | 7:00 PM-8:30 PM

When you fly at 30,000 feet on a commercial aircraft, a glance out the window reveals a broad horizon.  You have a sense of the massiveness and grandeur of the heaven and earth, but not the specific up-close details of people, buildings, and places. Looking at the New Testament Bible from 30,00 feet, we will see the magnificent panorama of these 27 books and the weaving thread of redemption through Jesus Christ. This 4 week in-person or zoom class will give us a flyby of the New Testament, a love letter from God to us and a historical account of God’s interaction with His people.  An airplane can take you on an incredible adventure but the Bible can change your life - even from 30,00 feet.
