Life of Moses (Part 1) – Exodus: The Journey of Redemption (conducted in Mandarin)     |     Selina Li    |     Bride’s Room
This study explores the life of Moses, one of the greatest leaders in the Bible, who was chosen by God to deliver Israel from slavery and lead them toward the Promised Land. Through Moses’ journey - from his birth and calling to his leadership challenges, moments of doubt, and deep relationship with God - participants will discover lessons of faith, obedience, humility, and perseverance. Each session will reflect on how Moses’ life points to Jesus, the ultimate Deliverer, and what it means for believers to walk in God’s calling today. This class is conducted in Mandarin for the convenience of our Mandarin speakers.  Offered through December 21.
本课程深入探讨摩西的生平。摩西是圣经中最伟大的领袖之一,他蒙上帝拣选,将以色列人从為奴之家中拯救出来,带领他们走向应许之地。透过摩西的人生历程——从他的出生、蒙召,到他所面临的领导力挑战、内心的疑惑,以及他与上帝的深厚関系——参与者将学习到関于信心、顺服、谦卑和毅力的功课。每节课都将反思摩西的生命如何指向那位终极的救赎主耶稣,以及信徒在今日遵行上帝的呼召意味着什么。 为了方便讲普通话的弟兄姊妹,这门课用国语进行。

Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table |  Dr. Laura Shultz  |  Community Room
We’ve all been in circumstances that cause our minds to spin with thoughts that are unproductive, destructive, and harmful. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder why we keep falling into the same thought patterns. We need to recognize these thoughts are not from God, but from an enemy lurking who wants to seize every opportunity to lie his way into our minds. This video and discussion-based class offers biblical guidance on how to:
- Recognize and reject the enemy’s lies
- Restore peace and rest through God’s truth
- Break free from destructive thought cycles
- Embrace Christ’s transforming power and purpose
Laura is a licensed psychologist who is passionate about the deep truth found in Romans 12:2—that there is beautiful freedom found when we allow Christ to transform us through the renewal of our minds! Offered through December 14.
Parables of Jesus  |  Pastor Aeschbacher  |  Room 2107
Matthew tells us that Jesus “said nothing to them without a parable.”  (Matt 13:32)  Many of Jesus’ most challenging, profound, and engaging teachings are parables, and he often left them unexplained to allow us to work them out.  Join us to dive into the heart of Jesus’ teaching.  Offered through December 21.
