“Empowered is a course that will “leave ordinary Christians not only wanting to share their faith but knowing how to talk about Jesus in their normal lives and everyday conversations.” Becky Pippert and her husband developed this course after providing evangelism training in churches and at conferences worldwide. Becky writes, “As we seek to show Christ’s compassionate love and share Christ’s gospel truth, we need to get beyond one-size-fits-all techniques.”

A Divided Heart…A Divided Nation, A Precept Inductive Bible Study (8 weeks)

This is the first of ten courses in the Kings and Prophets Series. The Old Testament places a tremendous emphasis on the holy character and works of God that anticipate fulfillment in the person of Christ in the New Testament. In essence, it lays the groundwork for the only salvation possible—the salvation God provides in His Son “by which we must be saved.” What happens when your heart is divided? What lessons can we learn from the examples of Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, and Abijam? What does God do when His people trust their own judgment and disobey Him?

Lord, I Want to Know You - A Precept Devotional Study on the Names of God (17 weeks)

September 7, 2024 – February 25, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. (No classes 10/14 and Thanksgiving through Christmas, resumes 1/7/25)
NCPC John Knox Room
Beth Etheridge, Teacher
Book - Lord, I Want to Know You, $16

So much of our confusion and pain results because we don’t know God – who he really is, how He works in our lives…Daniel 11:32, a passage in which the context is a crisis of faith, assures us, "The people who know their God will display strength and will take action.” In our world today, we too face a “crisis of faith” in our homes, our communities, and our government. We often feel helpless to do anything to make things better. In this study, we will develop a more intimate relationship with God, learning who He says He is.
