Elective Courses:
Part 1
God’s Big Picture
NINE LESSONS: Online and book (optional) content in a small group or meeting-style course, with Bonus discussion questions.
In short lessons of forty-five minutes each, we survey the place of God’s grace in the entire Bible, Old and New Testaments.
Using Pastor Vaughn Roberts VERY helpful Video series, and optional book entitled God's Big Picture, we overview how the entire bible "fits" together as it relates to the purpose of communicating to us, God's Kingdom in our lives.
The Bible isn't just a random collection of books but one connected story and it is vital to understand it in that context. The Bible has one author: God, one subject: Jesus Christ and one overarching theme: God's plan to save the world through his son Jesus Christ.
MEETING JESUS: THE “I AM” SAYINGS
EIGHT LESSON Small Group Style Course
(Bread of Life, Light of the World, The Sheep Gate(Door), Good Shepherd, Resurrection and the Life, The Way, Truth, and Life, True Vine, Before Abraham I AM).
The "I AM" sayings of Jesus recorded in the gospel of John, however, do not focus on what others thought of Him; rather, our Savior's pronouncements disclose His own understanding of Himself as deity, including His saving relationship toward the world.
Key teachers are RC Sproul (series title) and Pastors Alistair Begg and Rankin Wilbourne on various sayings.

These fundamental lessons are taught by Dr. RC Sproul of Ligonier Ministries.
