THE CHOSEN: SEASON THREE THE WAY OF THE CHOSEN We all have to choose: the wide road that leads to destruction or the narrow path that leads to life. This third study picks up with how Jesus’ followers apply His teaching to their lives—not just hearing but doing it. This class will meet on Mondays beginning February 24 at 6:00 p.m. in the Conference Room. Phoebe McCormick is the facilitator.

PROGRESSIVE CLASS: THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST Easter is the most significant holiday on the Christian calendar. For those who claim Christ as Savior and Lord, it marks the day on which the major event of our faith took place. Without the resurrection, our faith would be in vain. Yet before Christ experienced the victory over death that gives us new, eternal life, he experienced the brutality of crucifixion. The days of his arrest, trial, death by crucifixion, and triumphant resurrection are depicted in The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson. We will use a discussion guide to look more deeply at the themes of this movie. With which characters do you most readily identify, and what can you learn about your faith by exploring that identification? Who was Jesus, and why does his identity matter? What roles do fear and power play in this story, and what does it mean to carry a cross? The Progressive Class meets on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. in the Fireside Room. We will watch the movie The Passion of the Christ on Monday, March 10 at 6:00 p.m. Note the earlier time. This class is facilitated by Amy Patrick.

PASTOR’S BIBLE STUDY HE CHOSE THE NAILS: WHAT GOD DID TO WIN YOUR HEART by Max Lucado. Every gift from God reveals his love, but no gift reveals his love more than the gifts of the cross. Have we taken time to open these? As we do, we find that Jesus did it all just for us. The He Chose Study Guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, personal study, and reflection materials for in-between sessions. This class will be led by Pastor Ji and will meet Wednesdays beginning March 12 at 2:00 p.m. in the Fireside Room. The cost of the book is $7.00.
