A study in the book of Daniel
Teacher: Hoyt Samples | Wednesdays, 6-7p | Rm 102-103 & Facebook Live |
The focus of this class will be the book for Daniel. The book of Daniel is a favorite for Sunday school teachers and students alike. And for good reason. It has all the makings of a great story—memorable characters, cliffhanger drama, and science fiction–like visions. It’s like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings with a dash of Star Wars thrown in! This is an open class for all ages and you can start attending at any time. It will be lecture based with some discussion at the end.
You can also join us on Facebook Live at 6p. We would encourage you to interact as you watch live!
Following Jesus in a Digital Age
Teacher: Ryan McBride | Wednesdays, 6-7:30p | Ridgedale Room | FREE, Book included | 6 weeks
We were told technology would make our lives easier and more convenient, but it just seems to have made everything more complicated and confusing. As Christians, what does our faith have to do with these pressing issues of life in a digital age and how might technology be shaping how we view the world around us? In Following Jesus in a Digital Age, you will not only be challenged by what the Bible says about technology but also how it may be influencing your walk with Christ. You will also be equipped with biblical wisdom to navigate the most difficult aspects of our digital culture—including the draw of social media, the rise of misinformation, need for digital privacy, and polarization. If you have questions you would like Ryan to discuss please email him at ryanm@ridgedalebaptist.org. This will be an open class and you can join at any time.

Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Study of David
Leader: Penny Holloway | Wednesdays, 6-7:30p | Library | $10
The focus of this class will be the series of lessons from Beth Moore, Priscilla Shier, and Kay Arthur on the life of David. This is an open class for all ages and you can start attending at any time. It is lecture and discussion based. Each segment focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man (sessions one and two by Priscilla Shirer), as a middle-aged man (sessions three and four by Beth Moore), and as a man facing the final third of his life (sessions five and six by Kay Arthur). You’ll laugh with them, cry with them, and learn to love God with them.
The Parables
Teacher: Teresa Regan | Wednesdays, 5–6p | Hospitality Room | $10
Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables He told were ingeniously simple word pictures. Some of them were no more than fleeting remarks about commonplace incidents, objects, or persons. In fact, the most compact of all Jesus’ short stories does not even fill a complete verse of Scripture. Yet the all were filled with profound spiritual lessons that He wanted His listeners to hear and understand. Jesus told these parables so they would clearly comprehend His message about the kingdom of God and the reason He had come to earth. This is an open class for all ages and you can start attending at any time. It is lecture and discussion based.
