ESM Adult Sunday School*
Sept. 7 - Dec., 2008

C.L.A.S.S. 101 – Discovering Church Membership & Baptismal Class (PART I & II) (Floyd W.)
In Part I, we will be studying the book ‘Discipleship Essentials', focusing on the first 6 studies dealing with understanding salvation, the meaning of baptism and Holy Communion. Later on, in Part II, the Christian & Missionary Alliance history & thought, and the Four-fold gospel will be incorporated in a 3-hour afternoon session with Pastor Daniel, which is mandatory for all baptismal candidates and transfer of membership candidates.

C.L.A.S.S. 301 - Discovering My Ministry (S.H.A.P.E.) (Edward C.)
This course is the third of the four basic courses developed for OCAC ESM. It will help you to discover your unique design for ministry and to commit yourself in developing your God given Spiritual gifts in serving Him and others through the church. Five personal factors (S.H.A.P.E.) will be discussed to identify the specific traits you possess and the ministries God has designed you for.

C.L.A.S.S. 506 – Love to Pray (Vien L. and Wendy L.)
Too often, our motivation to pray is based on guilt or shame from a lack of prayer in our lives. According to the author of the "Love to Pray" devotional series, "prayer is the talking part of the most important love relationship in my life". This class aims to bring us closer to experiencing joy in prayer, rather than viewing it as an obligation. In a small group atmosphere, we'll be going through daily devotionals that focus on prayer, with two small groups of 4 people led by Wendy and Vien. We'll also be taking time to pray for those in our lives who do not yet know Christ, praying through the scripture, and prayer walks.

C.L.A.S.S. 215 – Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation (Mrs. Marilyn Martin)
A study of the Letters to the Seven Churches of the Revelation: In this study we will explore the contemporary situation that prompted John the Apostle to write these letters to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Each letter pointedly addresses an issue that was hindering the church in following Christ. We will want to ask the question, “How do John’s letters address the issues of the church today and how ought we to respond?”

C.L.A.S.S. 240 – Old Testament Character Study: Abraham - Created to be God's Friend (Matt. N.)
The shaping of character involves both positive and negative moments that God uses together for good. Seeing Abraham's life from God's activities and perspective may help you re examine your own character. Take this opportunity to see, through Abraham's life, the ways of the Lord and His nature, so that you may respond faithfully, immediately, and thoroughly to Him in your life. This course involves material from Henry Blackaby.

*  All classes are taken place from 11:15 am - 12:45 pm at the Somerset Community Centre.
