Led by Murray Rossini and Mark Walters - "The Letters of John" by N.T. Wright/ Room 310 / In-Person

“In his letters, John expresses delight at believers who are "walking in the truth": behaving with that integrity which reflects the gospel. This involves not just correct doctrine and proper outward behavior, but also love for God and fellow believers. It's this love, John writes, that shows that the truth of the gospel has really been grasped, not as an abstract idea but as what it is, the very life of God himself at work in his people. These nine studies from Tom Wright help us become believers who are "walking in the truth" in our own day--people in whom the very life of God is at work for all to see.”

Ours is a discussion group but discussion is optional and voluntary. 

“Going Public: How Biblical People Help Us Find Our Voice for Public Life” by Jeff Cover / Teachers TBD / Room 313

"Going Public" is a fresh take on people in the Bible whom God called from their private lives to positions of public trust and responsibility. Most of them did not respond willingly. Hebrew midwives knew better than to take on Pharaoh directly. Moses was afraid of public speaking. Gideon bemoaned that his family was not influential enough. Elijah was burned out. Jeremiah thought he was too young. Amos wasn't a religious professional. Esther was a beauty queen, not an advocate for her people. Jonah didn't like his assignment. Most did not feel prepared for the challenges that confronted them. This book mines their stories for what they have to teach modern people about the challenges of entering contemporary public life.

Not just politicians, but coaches, teachers, community organizers for social justice, parents and ordinary people of faith may also find themselves called by God today to public duties. This book gives pastors, Sunday School teachers, lay leaders and everyday Christians the resources to become change agents in their communities. Each chapter comes with thoughtful questions to provoke personal reflection or group discussion. The book is an invaluable resource for Bible study, teaching or preaching. It is intended to get people acting on their beliefs in new ways.”
