Using the Bible as the primary source we will explore these themes: The Creation Stories, The Exodus, What is God's Promise?, and The Exile. Using the Bible, a Participant's Guide, and a DVD, you will learn how to use the Bible and other resources to find: Who is the author of Leviticus?, Where is Mount Sinai?, What are the Dead Sea Scrolls? Do they matter to Christians?, When did "the Exodus" occur? Is it different from the Exile?, Why were the Hebrew people told "do not forget?", and How do the stages of Israel's story relate to my faith journey? Weekly classes will include: a DVD related to the theme, class discussion of assigned scripture readings, making connections between your life and the scripture, learning by using a supplemental study resource. Register for the class through the Church Office, 480-963-3360.
