This season of Lent, we’ll be looking more closely at the traditional “seven deadly sins:” how they draw us away from our true home in God, and how by God’s grace we can be forgiven and drawn back to the true source of all joy, the God who loves us and made us for Himself.

Wesley Arning and Ryan Presley as they delve into the apocalyptic nature of the season, its imaginative traditions and hymns and the rich theology that uniquely presents itself in this season.

Tumultuous times. Judgment. A divided nation. Fearsome enemies. Poor leadership: Does any of this sound familiar? This was the world of the Old Testament prophets, as they spoke God’s word to Israel during some challenging years, not only in judgment but also to give hope that God was faithful and still at work for the good of his beloved chosen people.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is God’s supreme defeat of death. Many times, however, we can miss the details of the stories of the risen Jesus.

Good Christian art has the power to remind us of things we may not have known or realized so that we can have a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with our risen Lord.

In this class, we will look at events in the Gospel through the medium of art and see how these works draw us closer into the Bible, so that we can encounter the risen Lord anew.

Among the Old Testament’s diverse cast of characters, the man named David is one of the headliners. His life with God was a roller coaster. No one is more heroic, and no one is more shattered than King David.

His life is an illustration of experiencing God across life’s full gamut. In these sessions, we will consider how David experienced God in his call, in the pain of his disastrous failure and God’s discipline and their eventual reconciliation. The Bible pays David the high compliment, as “a man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). We will consider what that means.
