SUMMARY:Parables of Jesus
DESCRIPTION:Led by Dr. John Carroll \nWednesdays  |  April 17-May 15  |  7:00-8:45 p.m. (Eastern Time) \nTo register\, click here. \nOne of the signature features of Jesus’ teaching was His use of parables to communicate His message. What is a parable? What are the distinctive themes in Jesus’ parables? How does each Gospel focus central themes in its narrative about Jesus through His telling of parables? What do the parables have to say to twenty-first-century listeners? \nThis five-week course on the parables of Jesus will explore questions such as these\, and in so doing\, invite participants to deepen their understanding of the Gospels\, and to gain fresh insight into the mission and message of Jesus—for both the first and the twenty-first century. \nWhile each participant will receive a course syllabus and will be expected to attend\, prepare for\, and participate in all class sessions\, there will not be any written assignments for this course. Nevertheless\, the class is intended to offer the opportunity for deep learning and engaging conversation! \nClick here for more information or to register.

SUMMARY:Pathways Online Course: Mission and Evangelism
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Rev. Dr. Aram Feinberg \nMondays\, April 15-May 20\, 2024  |  7-9 p.m. Eastern Time \nThe overarching goal of this course is to develop a contextual framework for being a Reformed faith community in today’s context. To be more specific\, students will be invited to imagine the contours of evangelism in today’s modern day context\, which necessarily involves a historically based understanding of evangelism as well as a sociological study of those who identify as SBNRs\, which is a growing demographic in the larger religious landscape of the United States. \nThe practice of evangelism must address the needs of society in order for the church to continue its commitment to both the gospel message (love God and love neighbor) and the great commission (go and make disciples). \nClick here for more information or to register.
