Summer Quarter Sunday School ~ June – August 2018
College Class
Teacher: Evan Gear
Room 72 (2 nd Floor – Administration Bldg.)
Let’s Study Leviticus
It is perhaps not the most exciting of propositions. Who wants to read about all those rituals and
archaic rules? What do those regulations have to do with us now? It is true. Much of the content
in Leviticus seems obscure and irrelevant, yet here is the very foundation of the revelation of
our faith, the center of law, the middle of the Torah. Let us learn to love it as we read, study,
and see in its obscurities our Savior.
New Covenant Class (post college)
Teacher: Tim Shaw
(4 th Floor - Whitaker Bldg.)
The Ten Commandments
What role do they play in our lives as New Testament believers? What does Jesus do with them?
How are they meant to crush us? How are they meant to guide us? What do they mean for our
daily lives? How does Jesus fulfill them? How does Jesus expand them? These are the questions
we will be seeking to ask and answer together for each of the commandments in this class.
Berean Class (30s)
Teacher: Tim Foster
Room 31 (3 rd Floor - Axson Bldg.)
The Book of Proverbs
Biblical wisdom has been defined as “the application of God’s will to the nitty-gritty of life.”
Wisdom is the indispensable, God-given skill for navigating skillfully through life’s joys and
perplexing circumstances. Despise God’s wisdom, and you will align yourself with the way of
foolishness. The Book of Proverbs instructs us through short, memorable statements of general
truth that help us discern God’s wisdom concerning our speech patterns, relationships, emotions,
friendships, stewardship, and even life and death. Studying Proverbs will remind us that in Jesus
Christ “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col 2:3) and that Christ has
become for us “wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification and redemption” (1 Cor 1:30).

Teaching and Discussions
Teaching and Discussions: How do we run the race and finish strong, keeping our eyes on Jesus
the Author and Finisher of our faith? Wisdom for how to make the transitions from parenting
to the ‘empty nest’ syndrome. Encouragements for this next phase of life. How God’s word
illuminates/strengthens the post–child years.
Agape Class (50s)
Teacher: Ron Parrish
Room 70 (2 nd Floor - Administration Bldg.)
The Book of Colossians
The theme of this letter is the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. In Christ we have a hope
laid up in heaven. In Christ are to be found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In Christ
our lives are hidden in God. Christ is central and supreme. He is sufficient and triumphant.
Christ is all and in all. What a glorious gospel proclaiming a glorious Christ.

Isaiah
In this magnificent O.T. book we are able to gain understanding of God’s sovereignty over His
creation and in particular with His elect. God’s chastening and His affirmation of His love and
the continuation of His covenant are clearly revealed, leading to the description of the “Man
of Sorrows.
