Hope
What is hope?  How do we know if our hope is placed in that which is lasting and secure?  We look at these questions in light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Abraham's example and Mary Magdalene's testimony. Speaker: Aaron Yoder

Faith
Christians talk often about faith...but what is it?  How is faith defined according to Scripture?  What does Abram's story tell us about the difference between faith and saving faith?  We consider those questions as well as look ahead to the suffering of Jesus in order to anchor of our in that which saves.

Worship
How does God view worship?  Likely, many Christians have ideas of what worship is but rarely do we try to ask the question from God's perspective.  We dig into this topic by studying Cain and Abel's first recorded sacrifice to the Lord and what was motivating them in their worship of the living God. Speaker: Aaron Yoder

Women and Atonement
What are the challenges that women face as a result of living in a fallen world?  By zooming into Genesis 3:16, we look at the layers of discord which are common for many women.  Then we consider the way in which Jesus makes women...and men...new. Speaker: Aaron Yoder

What is the role of husband in the marriage relationship as determined by God?  This difficult, but important topic, begins by studying why God created Adam before Eve and then assessing the dynamics which make for a healthy, Godly marriage. Speaker: Aaron Yoder

Spiritual Beings
What are angels and demons?  Is there really a personal 'devil' who holds temporary authority of the world?  If so, what is his work and battle cry against people?  We dig into these difficult questions - leading to the gift of grace and conquest of Jesus Christ. Speaker: Aaron Yoder

Work
Is there any such thing as pointless work?  We look at the concept of work and stewardship in light of God's command for Adam to tend to the Garden of Eden - citing examples from the Global Anabaptist and Mennonite Church. Speaker: Aaron Yoder
