Ladies Bible Studies:
Everywhere around us we hear about “these times” we are living in.  It is on the front page of the paper and on the radio; we talk about it over coffee, and hear it mentioned in sermons.
 Ladies, we ask ourselves, “what can I do”?  Well, one thing we can do, in fact we must do, is to be grounded in the TRUTH, in God’s Word.  We need not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  (Romans 12:2).  If we want to not worry, and seek God’s kingdom (Matthew 6:33-34), we must continue to do the work of seriously studying God’s Word, and find supernatural power to live for His kingdom.
 With that in mind, we encourage all Heartland women to be involved in some sort of group Bible study.  We have several offerings beginning in September.  Look at the list below, and ask the Lord if He would have you join us in going deeper, being firmly established in Him.
 
Matthew Part 2: The Christ, the Son of the Living God:

Wednesdays 9:00-11:00 a.m, at Heartland.  Nursery provided.  Contact Vicki Granberry for details.  Matthew Part 1 is NOT a prerequisite.
 
Calm My Anxious Heart, by Linda Dillow.:

Wednesdays 9:00-11:00 a.m. at the home of Kathy Morris.  A study in contentment and overcoming worry. Nursery provided.  Everyone welcome, outreach opportunity.  For details contact Kathy Morris.
 
A Study for young moms of the women of the Bible:

Fridays 9:30-11:30 a.m. in the Heartland Library.  Led by Janet Malcom. Nursery provided. Contact Janet for more information.
 
Childcare is available for all studies, but participants are asked to help supplement the church’s cost at a rate of $30 for one child or $40 for two
or more children per semester. If financial assistance is needed, please contact your study leader to make other arrangements!

 

 

 

3 & 4 Year Olds – Jeri Shepherd
He Established a Testimony – Themes from the Old Testament for Young Children
God has testified of His glorious deeds and mighty power. This curriculum explores God's greatness by noting key themes found chronologically throughout the Old Testament. Bible stories are presented to acquaint children with a great God whose character never changes.

Kindergarten – Alyssa Hanning
He Has Spoken by His Son – New Testament Stories for Young Children
The New Testament beautifully unfolds the wonder and power of Jesus Christ. This curriculum explores the greatness of God in Christ by noting key themes found chronologically throughout the New Testament. Bible stories are presented to acquaint children with a great God who has spoken by His Son.

First Grade – Nyccole Swigart
Jesus, What a Savior! – A Study for Children on Redemption
We were created to enjoy the glory of God. But as sinners we fail to treasure Him as we should. Our hearts are full of sin and we stand in need of a Savior. This chronological study on redemption explores the incomparable greatness and worth of God, the desperate condition of helpless sinners, and the all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ to redeem sinful people.

Second and Third Grade – Steve & Dawn Parris
In the Beginning...Jesus – A Chronological Study for Children of Redemptive History
The Bible is one complete true story that progressively reveals God's redemptive plan, which comes to complete fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. The year begins with a historical mystery—Jesus' death on the cross—and asks the questions: "What really happened here?" "Why did Jesus die?" and "Who did it?" To find the answers to these questions, the study goes to the beginning of the Bible narrative in Genesis and then moves chronologically through the Old Testament text as students search for clues that foreshadow the coming of Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross.


Fourth Grade – Eric & Meredith Mork
How Majestic is Your Name – A Study for Children on the Names and Character of God
The names of God are wonderful revelations of His majestic character. This study presents the Hebrew names of God in the Old Testament and the names of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Each lesson encourages children to see and rejoice in the goodness and greatness of God as they explore the meaning of His glorious names.


Fifth Grade – Diane Gensch
Show Me Jesus
In this class students learn how the Bible is God's story of redemption through Christ. They “connect the dots” of redemptive history through a survey of the Old Testament.
Genesis:  Creation, the fall, the flood, the Abrahamic covenant, the patriarchs and Joseph.
Exodus to Ruth:  The redemptive acts of God in dealing with His covenant people.
1 Samuel to Esther:  The kings of Israel and Judah, the captivity in Babylon and returned exiles.
Job to Joshua:  Songs, proverbs, and prophets.


Sixth Grade – Sabra Parris
Westminster Shorter Catechism
This class presents challenging lessons based on the Shorter Catechism of the Westminster Confession of Faith. Applications are aimed at motivating young people to apply the Word of God to their daily lives. Topics covered include God’s plan for the world, Adam’s sin and its consequences, and our duty to God and our fellow man.

 

High School Sunday School
We will have a Freshmen Class devoted to the teaching of the basics of the Christian faith.  This will be a class that concentrates on their relationship with God and man through prayer, God's word, evangelism, and fellowship.  They will then learn the basics of studying the bible for themselves and finally, using the techniques they just learned, study a portion of scripture.

Our next class will be our Sophomore/Junior Class.  They will be going through a two year class on systematic theology.  This will consist of a 23 minute DVD presentation on each topic by R. C. Sproul followed by lively discussion where scripture will be brought to bear on each topic.  This class will be taught by the elders of the church on a semi-rotating basis.  Parents, you do not want your high schoolers to miss this.  We are also working on a six to eight week Christian History class during this two year cycle.

Finally, we are very excited about our Senior Class.  This will be a two-part class.  This fall we will be studying Creation/Evolution.  In numerous surveys of evangelical youth the Creation/Evolution topic is given as the cause for our youth to question or doubt their faith.  This class is all about preparing our youth to meet this challenge head on.  We are also very excited about our spring semester as we will be guiding our senior class in a discussion of presuppositional apologetics.  This class is designed to further strengthen the faith of our high schoolers as they prepare for college and/or work.  We will also have several lessons on how to deal with various cults.  The Teaching Ministry of Heartland is very excited about these class offerings and hope you will be as well.
