    1. Develop a conviction to follow God’s will for your life, regardless of fears you may have in obeying Him.

    2. Rest in the plans of God for your life, and find freedom to obey His direction, rather than man’s opinion.

  • Room 221                       

    CLASS DESCRIPTION                                 

    Churches are beautiful displays of God’s multi-faceted mercy to people from all walks of life. As churches unite around the Gospel, they learn to love people from all types of social, economic, demographic, and geographic backgrounds. The church has been called a tapestry of God’s grace. It’s unified as one body but woven from different threads, making up a glorious whole. So how do we all live together in unity and holiness? This class will give you answers to that all-important question.

    CLASS OBJECTIVES

    This class will help you:

    1. Commit yourself to love, care for, and serve all the members of your local church, even the ones who aren’t like you.

    2. Assume the best about your brothers and sisters, and seek to honor Christ by serving them.

    3. Explain how Christ brings people from all tribes, tongues, and nations together for the glory of His Name.

    THE GOAL IN A SENTENCE

    This class will prepare you to serve as an effective member of your local church, and to love all the people God has brought together in word and deed.

    1. Learn to share God’s deep concern for the Lost of this world, wherever they may be found.

    2. Pray for the missionaries of Hillside church with biblically informed wisdom, and encourage them in their ministry.

    3. Participate in trying to reach the lost in San Jose, not as a missionary, but as a faithful Christian.
