Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to invite you all to a new class offered by Emmaus entitled, Know the Truth – A 13 Week Overview of the Christian Faith.
This class is geared towards Christians who have never been given an overview of core Biblical teachings. I hesitate to call this a new believers class because, although I do believe it would be a wonderful study for those new to the faith, I believe it will also benefit those who have been in the Lord for some time, yet have never studied the scriptures in this systematic way. Also, I would imagine that this class would benefit those who, though they do not profess Christ, are interested in learning more about the teaching of Holy Scripture. Feel free to invite friends and family, though they may not consider Emmaus their home church.
We will be working through a book entitled, Know the Truth: A Handbook of Christian Belief by Bruce Milne. This book is divided into seven sections, which we will cover over the course of 13 weeks:
Part 1 – The Final Authority in Matters of Faith
Part 2 – The Doctrine of God
Part 3 – Humanity and Sin
Part 4 – The Person and Work of Christ
Part 5 – The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
Part 6 – The Church
Part 7 – The Last Things
Please order the book soon. If you’d like, you can read ahead in preparation for our June 8th start date.
While I highly recommend that you keep up with the reading, I have designed the lectures so that you will receive a fairly comprehensive overview of the book by simply attending the class.
You can either purchase the book on Amazon or pick one up from me on Sunday (I think I have about 5 left).

I do hope that you will be able to join us!
Soli Deo Gloria,
Pastor Joe
