The Art of Dying Well “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” [Ps 116:15] Early Christians in the second century lived countercultural lives that garnered attention. But they didn’t just live well - they also died well with their deaths a powerful testimony for their faith. There is an increasing and pressing need today for Christians to understand and embrace the art of dying well. Dr. John Wyatt, a Christian and practicing medical doctor in the UK for more than 40 years, has been witness to many deaths - some died well, many not so well. He wisely urges resisting the “medicalization” of death and instead embrace death as a spiritual event. The text for this apologetics class is Wyatt’s powerful book “Dying Well: Dying Faithfully”, available on Amazon in paperback for $10 and Kindle for $2. This 8-week class will help you understand and embrace the art of dying well as your final, powerful witness to friends and family...and to a dark and dying world. Book: Dying Well by John Wyatt Jan 8 - Mar 5, 2025 (6:15 pm - 7:15 pm) |

Explores the views and counter-views of Calvinism’s 5 points (TULIP) regarding God’s divine sovereign election, the extent and applicability of Christ’s death, the applicability of the work and drawing of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and the extent of eternal security.

The Lost Art of Disciple Making "Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development." says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn’t there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders "True growth takes time and tears and love and patience," Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church. |

Worldview Analysis This is an apologetics class that equips you to do worldview analysis. A worldview represents one’s understanding of reality. How do I know that I perceive reality as it truly is? The call to “test everything” infuses the Christian worldview; the phrase “test everything” is in Paul’s letter to the church of Thessalonica in ancient Greece (1 Thess. 5: 21). The Biblical position is that we are under no obligation to affirm something as true that we have not adequately examined. The Bible itself offers us a powerful strategy for critical thinking— principles that cut to the heart of any worldview. This class will equip you to analyze opposing worldviews and identify their inevitable, inherent fatal flaws. Our book is "Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes” by Nancy Pearcey, available on Amazon in both paperback ($14.43) and Kindle ($9.99).
