“Becoming a Disciple” Is the Theme of the Adult Class Study: In the Dust of the Rabbi: Becoming a Disciple is the theme of the Adult Class study through November 12. This five-session DVD series, featuring master teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan, explores what it means to be a follower of Jesus, not only in the first century, but now in the 21st Century. The series is beautifully filmed on location in Galilee and Asia Minor, a region where the rabbinic practice of selecting disciples (talmidim) was well known, and where disciples walked the walk Rabbi Jesus taught them. If you’ve never been to the Holy Land, the Vander Laan videos, part of the Faith Lessons of the Bible series, are the next best thing to being there. Join us for this exciting study from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. Sundays in the Sunshine Room.
