The following classes will be offered for 12 weeks this summer. The Proclaim and Pursue class will feature live teaching, while the other two classes will include video-based teaching with facilitated discussion to follow. Please review the class descriptions below and select a class. Classroom assignments will be decided and communicated at a later date.

PROCLAIM AND PURSUE
Advancing the Gospel Through a Life of Devotion (live teaching)

The Proclaim and Pursue class will offer an approach that emphasizes the important relationship between evangelism and discipleship. This class will challenge participants to consider how the Grace mission statement and our five GRACE commitment statements unite to create the foundation for personal devotion that gives way to telling others about Jesus. It should be noted that half of this class will feature the Sharing Jesus Without Freaking Out teaching. Although some of you have participated in this class in the past, it might prove helpful to revisit this instruction in a way that is effectively paired with some key elements found in personal discipleship.

Facilitators: Chris Lentz and Daniel Maasen


DON’T GIVE THE ENEMY A SEAT AT YOUR TABLE and
GOLIATH MUST FALL - Louie Giglio (video-based teaching)

Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table references Psalm 23 to offer insight into how one can overcome the enemy's lies and find peace and spiritual security in any circumstance or situation. Giglio emphasizes that we can discover freedom, hope, peace, and encouragement if we allow Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, to lead the battle.

Goliath Must Fall draws upon the story of David and Goliath to examine how we all face adversaries in our lives that result in us settling for less than God’s best and keep us from experiencing victory in Jesus. In this study, Giglio presents Jesus as our “giant-slayer” as he encourages us to “Put your hope in him, and watch Goliath fall.”

TRANSFORMED - Chip Ingram (video-based teaching)

The Transformed video series is focused on identifying barriers within our lives that that can often hold us back, while offering inspiration directed at breaking out of a lifestyle of confusion, frustration, and failure to embrace the freedom we can have in Christ. Given that the word 'transformation' has been tossed around so much within Christian circles, it has become very commonplace and lacking in the attention and energy it deserves. As such, we often question whether it’s real or possible and, if so, how it is that we can initiate our quest to make meaningful spiritual life-change a reality. This study will address these issues and call participants to places of personal awareness and renewed commitment.
