Interest Groups (Workshops)

Friday

Joe Knapp - "?"

 

Interest Group Synopsis: What are some of the profound things that Jesus taught and how did the Apostle Paul struggle to follow them? What methods did the Apostle employ to teach what Jesus taught? For example, how did Jesus confront the Pharisees and how did Paul then continue to do the same? Come with me to connect the dots between a shepherd and his precious disciple and look with me through the window of Jesus into the mirror of the Apostle Paul...and find ourselves.

 

Jeff Hausman - “?"

 

Interest Group Synopsis: This is a discussion of how and why we have the current 66 books in most of our Bibles by means of history, the witness of Judaism and the early church, and through self-authentication.  It will also include a challenge to current controversies and skepticism on the authenticity of some or all of these writings.

 

Saturday

Gordon Coulson – “?”

 

Interest Group Synopsis: The subject draws from Acts 27:8, a stopping point en-route on Paul's journey to Rome. The study itself will be about our progression toward the Kingdom, the experiences the church and world have gone through to this point, and what lies ahead.
