Developing Your Rule of Life ~ Micah Lewis and Kyle Mott
When God came to our world as Jesus the Messiah, He called everyone to turn away from their old way of life and follow Him. What does it mean to really follow Jesus, to live His way of life? Is there something more than just going to church? In this class we will explore the lifestyle of Jesus and spiritual practices that emerge from it. We’ll work together to incorporate these practices into our own walk with God and develop a rule of life. This will also offer a glimpse of the practices and lifestyle of River City Christian Community.
Micah and Kyle and their families are working together to bring the message of Christ and His gospel to our “neighbors across the river”.
The Gospel of Matthew ~ Don Gribble
This class is continued from the Fall 2011 schedule. The Gospel of Matthew introduces us to the King of all the earth, showing us his humble beginnings, proclaiming to us His teachings, and convincing us with His miracles. Many Jews thought the promised Messiah would deliver them from their Roman overlords and set up a glorious kingdom in a strictly political sense. In reality, Jesus came to experience rejection and death as a suffering servant. By dying on the cross, this teacher from Nazareth not only brought spiritual deliverance to His followers, but also altered the course of world history as well. Join us in this study of Matthew’s story of Jesus the King.
Don is a local attorney, who is married with 4 children. He also serves as one of our elders.
Discovering My Spiritual Shape ~ Rick Cline
This class is designed to help participants discover in a practical way the truth of Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Each of us is a work of art, a masterpiece of God, a one-of-a-kind original. God made each of us for a purpose. Through Bible study, discussion, and various learning tools, participants will be guided toward discovery of their uniqueness, their spiritual S.H.A.P.E. (Spiritual gifts, Heart/passion, Abilities, Personality, Experience).
Rick is one of our ministers. Among his many responsibilities is presenting the Word of God from the pulpit. Rick is married, the father of 2 daughters and the grandfather of one little boy.
Facing the Giants ~ Bill Buggeln
We remember David as he faced the giant Goliath and was victorious. Goliath was not the only giant David faced in life. Just as David had other giants to face, so do we. We’ll spend eight weeks looking at some of the giants David struggled with in life and then make application to the struggles we commonly have to face in our lives and discover how we too can be victorious.
Bill has served as one of our elders for several years. He has also served as a minister of churches of Christ in Texas and Kansas.
So Long, Insecurity ~ Various discussion leaders ~ Room 104
Based on Beth Moore’s book of the same title, this group will be studying and sharing to see what security in God looks and feels like. We’ll be encouraging one another and offering accountability. As Beth Moore has said, “Our walks with God are individual, but they’re also something we can share together.”
Ten Things That Jesus Never Said (And why you shouldn’t believe them) ~ Jay Plank ~ Room 103
You may at first think we will be talking about famous (or infamous) quotes that really aren’t in the Bible such as “money is the root of all evil,” but that’s not the case. You’ve probably told yourself at least one or more of these ten things, thinking them to be true, even though they are nowhere to be found in scripture. Come join us as we explore these things in depth.
Jay brings a wide variety of life experiences to his class, having served as an education minister in Topeka, various hospital administrative roles, and house parent at Carpenter Place. He is also actively involved in many of the ministries offered through RiverWalk.
