Adult Sunday School


Adult Sunday School First Week:

In the Adult Sunday School we are having a discussion on the book “ Learning From the Giants”. We would like to give people maybe three or four bullets of what we took away from each week’s lesson.
This is what we took away from Sunday, February 7th class

  1. This is an interesting way to learn about the giants of faith from the interesting. This book puts in the perspective of them coming and talking to us today. This week and the next few weeks we will talk with Elijah.
  2. Elijah's pride of having been used by God to fulfill His will and the best day of his life turned out to not be as great as he thought because not everyone was happy with what he had done or believed him about God being the one true God. Lesson is that: You can’t ride your pride. You have to be careful of being too prideful lest you will likely be disappointed in the end.
  3. You can’t live with the assumption that when good things happen that will solve your problems. In actuality life is not always that way.
Please come join us while we Learn With the Giants, each Sunday morning at 8:458 in the fellowship hall of St. John's
