Christian Foundation: Practicing His Presence
(Studies on the Holy Spirit) - Course 1050
Meets Thursdays, Now Through September 9, 7-9 p.m., Building 10
Men, do you personally know the Holy Spirit? Do you know the importance of His work in you? You might be surprised to learn that the fuel that powers a dynamic Christian is the power of the indwelling Spirit of God. During this free, 10-week interactive class we will take a deep look at the Person, Plan, Work, and Power of the Holy Spirit.
Taught by Doug Smith, Brian Dingess and Ron Sutliff.
Some comments from past participants:
- “Excellent [course] to understanding the Holy Spirit. I particularly like the ‘no punches held back’ challenging [men] to get our act together.”
- “I wish the course ran two weeks longer!”
- “Absolutely [an] excellent class.”
Bible Study Outlines - Ephesians
Course 1500
Meets Wednesdays, Now Through to September 8, 7-9 p.m., Building 10
Men, come join us in a study of the queen of Paul’s letters, Ephesians. Interacting with Ephesians will solidify a concrete knowledge of God, a confident personal identity, a challenging vision of church, and a convicting code of behavior. Can you handle the truth? Join us! Taught by Bob Lute and Bob MacDonald.
Winning At Work And Home
Men's Fraternity is a series of three one-year long studies, beginning with The Quest for Authentic Manhood, followed by Winning at Work and Home, and ending with The Great Adventure. Men's Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God.
This fall, we will again offer Winning at Work and Home, a 16-session study, which is very application driven and focuses on the two areas that are central to a man's life: career and family. It will begin to build the walls of manhood through study dealing with a man's chief responsibilities. It explores how a man can enjoy and engage his work rightly and how he can relate successfully to a woman in a biblically based way.
Schedule: Tuesdays, Starts Sept. 21; and Fridays, Starts Sept. 24
Location: EC-23/24; Tues., 7 p.m.; Fri., 6 a.m.

Disciplines Of A Godly Warrior
Course 1051 The Disciplines of a Godly Warrior
Men, how serious are you regarding your Christian life? Is your goal Christ likeness? This course is a no-nonsense hard hitting focused course that is geared to energize Christian men of all maturity levels to complete the course that was given to all believers, that is “since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1).
How do we do this? Discipline! Paul said it this way, “train yourself in Godliness” (I Tim. 4:7). Learn the tactics that lead to Christ likeness and a victorious Christian life.
Some comments from past participants:
- “I wish I had taken this course years ago.”
- “This is a course we [men] all need.”
- “I would recommend this course to any man who wants to get off the sidelines and seek a true relationship with God.”
Schedule: September to November 2010
(This is a 10-week course. Syllabus available.)
