Title: The Wilderness Must Be Explored: The Gospel According to Pixar's UP

A curmudgeon, Boy Scout, rare bird, and talking dog walk into... a floating house? Come to this class to discover the hidden truths in the movie UP about our purpose and life's greatest joys. We'll listen to the movie's iconic score, identify with different characters, and watch clips from the film. There might even be a few balloons.  

Title: Returning to Love

The church at Ephesus (Rev. 2:1-7) did a lot of good things. They persevered hardships, called out false apostles, and worked hard. Yet they had forgotten their first love. We can do a lot of things for God, but if we have lost our love for Him, we are missing the point. This class will talk about the importance of cultivating a life that hungers and thirsts for God. 

Title: "And the Sea Was No More..."

Revelation 21:1 describes how things will be in "The End..." There will be a "new heaven and a new earth" and that there will no longer be a "sea." This class will explore what Scripture means when it describes a world without the sea and what it means for God to truly bring peace and order to the world and our lives. 

Title: I Just Can't Even (Girls Only Class)

Title: Your First Love

(Rev 2:2-5) We will unpack what it means to make Jesus our first love, especially as a young Christian. We'll explore other passages and characters (Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, the Apostles, Timothy, etc.) about cultivating a loving relationship with Christ through service, spiritual disciplines, and fellowship as well as stress the one-in-a-lifetime chance that teenagers have to put that into practice. 

Title: When the End is Just the Beginning

A breath, a cry,

Amazement, a sigh,

A step, a run, 

Some pain, some fun,

I trust, I fail, 

I laugh, I wail,

A hand, pierced through, 

For me, for you,

A home, not here,

Our God, is near.
