Greg Arthur will teach this two week seminar. It is called "Marriage with Jesus in the Room," since it is the Lord who made marriage and He promises to be with us in life. To know some of what Jesus says to us while in the room, we'll look at eight practical principles of marriage taken from the scriptures. We'll discuss four principles about how we're to see each other on March 9th and four principles about how we're to talk with each other on March 16th. This class is open to anyone, married or not.

Parenting with jesus in the room

Family Pastor Greg Arthur will be teaching the seminar, “Parenting with Jesus in the Room: 4 Essentials of Parenting as Discipleship” in the Student Center during the second service on March 23rd and 30th. 

Since Jesus is always in the room, what he thinks about parenting matters most. So, what does he think? That's what we're going to explore during this two-week Sunday morning seminar on Christian parenting as discipleship. The Bible describes the work of raising children to be discipling our children to know and love and follow Jesus. The Bible says that parenting is nothing less than the passing down to our children the salvation and life found only in our faith in Jesus, for as Jesus said, "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:16) 

So how do we do that? How do we disciple our children to know and love and follow Jesus? In this seminar, we're going to distill the Bible's wisdom about parenting down to four key concepts, associated with four key verses, as being essential to Christian parenting as discipleship.

The Model: Imitating Christ (Since They’re Going to Imitate Us Anyway)

The Method: Teaching Diligently (Since We Teach Our Real Values No Matter What)

The Mission: Winning Hearts (Since We’ve Only Said What They Hear) 

The Manner: Gentleness (Since It’s Better to Be Drawn than Driven)

We hope to see you there! Contact Greg Arthur for more information.
