Tuesday Morning Classes
April 27 – June 1, 9:30 AM–Noon2 Timothy — Precept Upon Precept
by Kay Arthur
Teacher: Jackie Schaffer
Knowing his earthly ministry was coming to an end, the apostle Paul writes his last epistle to his closest and dearest companion, Timothy. For some time, Paul had regarded Timothy as his son in the faith. So he is writing as a father who knows he is leaving his son; his words encourage and strengthen Timothy to be faithful to the Gospel in the face of hardship and persecution. Join us as we study to see how this message applies to all believers today as we strive to faithfully serve our Lord and Savior in times of uncertainty. Please review the first lesson before the first day of class. Purchase the required text before the first class. Order HERE.
A Great Cloud of Witnesses — International Women's Class
by Trillia J. Newbell
Teacher: Cheri Strahm
We need heroes today! This six-week study examines the stories of God’s “imperfect but faithful” people featured in Hebrews chapter 11 — heroes of the faith who remained strong in difficult times. We’ll learn together about Rahab, Enoch, Gideon, Sarah, and more people from the Old Testament. Our goal? To imitate their faith and become stronger in trusting our amazing God. This study group is designed for international women for whom English is a second language. Cheri also teaches ESL courses at Calvary. Purchase the required text before the first class. Order HERE.
Our Sovereign God — The Book of Ezra
by Jeanine Vogel
Teacher: Jan Adams
In a day of ungodly leadership, political unrest, and strong opposition to biblical truth, people need hope. Ezra, Zerubbabel, Zechariah, and Haggai lived in our kind of world. As you study the biblical record of their lives, the goal is that you will commit to being a woman of unshakable faith, unafraid to take action, boldly proclaiming God's truth, and watching for the mighty acts of our sovereign God.
