Equip Class: Seeing the Resurrection in the Old Testament

May 15, 2025 to May 29, 2025 | 7:00 PM-8:30 PM

Jesus, the day of his resurrection, spent 2 ½ to 3 hours, on the road to Emmaus with two disciples. In that time, Jesus unfolded all the things in the scriptures (Old Testament) concerning himself to these men. From Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, Jesus pointed to His suffering followed by His glory. Recorded in each gospel, Jesus also spoke of his of impending suffering, death, burial and resurrection, that must occur on the third day (Matt 16:21, Mark 8:31, Luke 9:22, John 2:19). But where does the Old Testament teach on the resurrection? On a journey thru Third Day scripture references, we will review common Sunday school stories to see how they point us to the gospel message of Jesus’ third day resurrection. After Jesus was finished speaking on the road to Emmaus, the two men summed up their experience as “did our hearts not burn” when Jesus revealed Himself in the Old Testament stories.

Men’s Equip Class: The Measure of a Man

May 25, 2025 to June 22, 2025 | 7:00 PM-8:30 PM

Working through the book "The Measure of a Man" by Gene Getz, we will walk through the books of 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus to see the character traits Paul identifies for Godly men. True masculinity is not measured by the strength of a man, but by these twenty biblical guidelines drawn from the Apostle Paul's letters to his young protégés Timothy and Titus. Inspiring, encouraging, and practical, this book shows men how they can reach God's standards as fathers, husbands, and mentors to other men.
