Classes Offered - Fall 2024
STRENGTHENING YOUR MARRIAGE
Sundays | 9am | meeting room #1
Taught by: SCOTT & JULIE YORKOVICH | BOB & SHANNON MAIXNER
The true strength of your marriage is determined by what is at the center of the marriage. Our natural temptation is to center our marriage on personal happiness, positive impressions, successful children, financial security, and other worldly pursuits. We say that we want God-centered marriages, but what does that really look like and how do we achieve it? In this class we will learn how to increase our dependence on God in our marriage, identify attitudes and behaviors that derail a God-centered marriage, and establish new habits and patterns of a healthy, God-centered marriage. This class is open to anyone in a marriage (first time or remarried), or those planning to get married, and at any age.
HEBREWS: FOCUSING ON JESUS' SUPREMACY
sundays | 9am | MEETING ROOM #2
Taught by: Jan Wilke
If accepting Christ and His Gospel is adequate for salvation, what value comes from better understanding the Old Testament? It is said that “The New Testament is in the Old Testament contained, and the Old Testament is in the New Testament explained.” This truth is exemplified by the Book of Hebrews. The author’s theme is Jesus’ supremacy over even the Old Covenant system which God had given to His chosen people. Every chapter of Hebrews connects an OT foreshadowing to God’s ultimate provision of His Son. Join us to read through & discuss together these 13 chapters. We will grow in ”knowing God more clearly, loving Him more dearly and (thus) following Him more nearly.”
LIVING IN THE SPIRIT: LEARNING TO HEAR HIS VOICE
sundays | 9am | ROOM #3
Taught by: KEVIN block | MONICA GROVES | TODD HANSEN
What did Jesus mean in John 16:7 when He said to the disciples it was to their advantage for Him to go away? What could be more important than having Jesus physically by your side? Come find out. One author has referred to the Holy Spirit as the “Forgotten God”. In what sense is He often “forgotten”? Come find out. And would you like to know HOW to get out of the endless cycle of trying harder to follow Jesus, failing, experiencing shame & discouragement, repenting - only to fall into the same cycle again? Join us to find out how following Jesus & living as His witness is only possible through the Holy Spirit. We’ll take a deep dive into the Biblical teaching concerning His presence, power & purposes in our lives. Your life won’t be the same as you avail yourself to all He wants to do in and through you.
ONELIFE TRAINING: HOW TO GET STARTED AND HOW TO GET "UNSTUCK"
SEPT 22 & 29 or NOV 3 & 10 |10:30am | meeting room #1
Taught by: KEVIN BLOCK
Our OneLife initiative seeks to inspire, equip, and mobilize every believer at Rockpoint to a lifestyle of effective spiritual influence. The process of doing this is called 3D1. The “1” refers to the person in our life, who may not have a personal relationship with Jesus yet, that we want to reach for Christ. The 3 “D’s” refer to three important life skills we will learn to practice with this person: Develop a friendship; Discover their story; and Discern next steps to take with them to be able to share the Gospel with them. This one and half hour class will train you how to do these three “D’s” well with your OneLife.
CREATION OR EVOLUTION: UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF GENESIS
sundays | 10:30am | meeting room #2
Taught by: Brian Thoreen | Jesse johnson
Does it really matter what a person believes about origins? Does science really demand a belief in evolution? This class will give evidence for the biblical account of creation from a young earth perspective, and offer defensible answers to some of the most provocative and controversial questions of faith and science. How did life begin? Where did humans come from? Was Noah’s Flood real? How old is the earth? In each class we’ll watch a dynamic 22-minute video that will take us on a memorable journey through some of the most fascinating topics in creation science. Through interviews with the leading creation scientists, insights from cutting-edge research, and on-location investigations, we will consider evidence that supports a biblical viewpoint and dispels pervasive and inaccurate theories from the secular world. We will then take time to discuss that topic from a Biblical world-view. Christians of all ages will find answers they need to affirm and defend their faith and discover the harmony between Scripture and science. Join us!
SPIRITUAL FORMATION: PRACTICING THE WAY OF JESUS
sundays | 10:30am | meeting room #3
Taught by: Kevin Block | RAY TAUCHER
Following Jesus as a believer has long been likened to a spiritual journey. Jesus said to His first disciples to “follow Him on the way.” Discipleship is a life-long path of learning to BE WITH JESUS, BECOME LIKE JESUS, and DO AS JESUS DID. This class is just a ‘primer’. It is designed to get you started on the journey of spiritual formation, help you get unstuck if you’ve stalled out, or just guide you into taking your next step. Ultimately, its goal is to train you to live as a disciple (apprentice) of Jesus. Come join us and may this experience lay the foundation for a life of apprenticeship to Jesus, who greatly delights in you and welcomes you to be with Him, become like Him and do as He did.
ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL CLASS
sundays | 10:30am | conference room (main office)
Supporting people of all abilities to understand and apply the day’s message as they share life together. Everyone wants to feel included, and that includes being part of the church. Rockpoint’s Accessibility for All Ministry supports those with special needs who may need a little extra support to find hope, dignity, purpose and belonging in the body of Christ through healthy loving relationships. From having a buddy in Sunday School to serving to doing life together in a life group, our mission is accessibility to the gospel for people of all abilities, and experiencing belonging in our church family. “Now you are the body of Christ and each of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27
