1. The Upside-Down Kingdom by Donald B. Kraybill
Teachers: Dennis Landis, Paul Miller
Translated into six languages, and with over 100,000 copies sold, The Upside-Down Kingdom continues to change people's lives. Donald B. Kraybill shows how the Kingdom of God announced by Jesus appeared upside-down in first-century Palestine. Jesus wins by serving and triumphs by losing. Today, God's way still looks upside-down as it breaks into diverse cultures around the world. This latest reprint calls a new generation to radical discipleship.
2. God, Money and Me – Exploring the spiritual significance of money in our lives
-by Edwin Friesen
Teachers: Richard Reimer, Herb Hershberger
Money is not merely the stuff with which to pay our bills. It has spiritual significance. How we earn and spend our money tells a lot about who we are and what we consider important in life. How we manage money also affects our relationship with God and the people around us.
This 12-lesson study guide has been written with North American Christians in mind and encourages us to talk about the relationships among money, God, and ourselves. Despite the perceived risks, talking about money with fellow believers will reduce its power over us. Together we can seek to put money in its place, a place where it serves as a tool for God's purposes.
3. Adult Bible Study – The Gospel of John, “God’s Creative Word”
Teachers: Art Neuenschwander, Gladene Hershberger
4. The BIBLE in 90 Days
Teacher: Doug Zehr
Just 12 Pages a Day. That's all it takes to read the Bible in ninety days. It's easier than you thought! Once you break it down into bite-sized pieces, what may have seemed to be a formidable challenge becomes doable and enjoyable.
Joining a group is a great accountability strategy meeting together regularly for some backgrounders and reading tips. Before you know it, you'll be fulfilling what for many Christians is a longstanding ambition: reading through the entire Bible. We will be using the Bible in 90 Days curriculum. Join others in discovering the meaning and power of God's word in community.
'When I study the Bible, I prepare myself to talk to others. When I read the Bible, God talks to me. --D. L. Moody
