The adult Sunday school class for the fall is called Core Christianity, based on Michael Horton's book of the same name. We will be looking at the essential and basic beliefs of the Christian faith. We will engage with the drama or story of Scripture, study the doctrine of historic Christianity, reflect on how this should lead us to doxology or worship, and then discuss how this leads us to healthy discipleship or growth in the Christian life. This is a great class for anyone who has been a Christian for many years, or who is very new to the Christian faith, or is not a Christian and is interested in investigating the claims of the Bible.

“Hospitality As Part of the DNA of the Church” What is biblical hospitality? What is the biblical and theological foundation for practicing hospitality? How important is it for the Church to practice hospitality to all people? How important is it for individual Christians to practice hospitality to those who cross their path? What does that look like? What are the challenges with practicing hospitality? How does TPC already practice hospitality in meaningful ways? What are ways we could be doing a better job? These are some of the foundational questions that we are going to explore as we discuss this important topic together. (This will be the only adult SS class offered from March-May.)

The Old Testament is 40% narrative. While conveying history these stories are there for more than providing the history of a people and nation -- they are there to teach us. So how do we read Old Testaments narratives so that we are able to perceive what is important to the narrator (what they mean) and then how do we apply them to our lives today? In this class we will look at some basic elements of reading Old Testament narrative. We will then explore a number of narratives that tell stories about the conflict between our faith and life - what it means to live as aliens in this world.
