#19 – Horizontal Jesus – Group Leader: Celina Bowman
Description: Loving God is vertical love. Loving others is horizontal love. Jesus showed His disciples how these two loves are intertwined in practical ways. While our relationship with God is based on faith alone, He warns and encourages us to see that the way we treat people affects our experience of Him. In this study, you will learn how to apply Biblical principles drawn from several one-another passages in Scripture. In doing so, you will reap blessings in your vertical relationship with God.
Times: Wednesdays at 6:00 PM – Oct 4 – Nov 15 – Room 105
#20 – Prayer, Promises, Praise – Group Leader: Bobbi Collins
Description: This group will share how prayer, promises and praise strengthens and grows our relationship with the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Every relationship must have communication (prayer), trust (promises), and appreciation (praise) in order to grow, which develops faith for it to become the foundation on which we build our lives. Bring a pencil and a notebook and join us in this adventure!
Times: Wednesdays at 6:00 PM – Oct 4 – Nov 15 – Room 103
#21 – Methodist Articles of Religion – Group Leader: Brian Kelley
Description: There has been a lot of discussion as to what our new church discipline would look like as we become Swartz Creek Community Church. Pastor Dan has shared that we would likely start with the Methodist Articles of Religion that are in the current UMC Book of Discipline. Well, what are these articles? This class is intended to review and discuss the 27 Articles of Religion so that we can understand them, understand what we believe as a church, and learn how to put them into practice.
