Loving Justice

Lynn Ruark | Sundays, January 7 – April 7 | 9 a.m. | Room 303
Throughout its history, the ability of the church to practice justice has determined whether the values of God advance or decline.  When Christians are practicing justice, they show that God is loving and powerful to work against some of the strongest forces of hate in the world.  When the church is weak, complacent or engaging in injustice, God is made to look more like a personal crutch for the weak and the immoral.  And who can blame the world for this perception?  If the church is to regain a powerful hearing, then it must hear the cry of justice from the Scriptures. The goal of this study is to help you seek to “do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8). This study emphasizes interaction with God’s Word as well as with other class members.

Series Descriptions

Discovery Series

The “Discover Laurelwood” class is a way to learn about the church and how you can be a member!  Discover Laurelwood is offered 3 times per year in September, January and April.

 

We also offer the following additional classes to unpack each area of discipleship in greater depth:

  • Bible Study
  • Prayer
  • Witness
  • Worship
  • SHAPE (Spiritual Gifts)
  • Stewardship
  • Personal Reflection
  • Seeking Wisdom
  • Fellowship

Each class is a chance to meet our pastors and leaders, learn about our church’s vision, and to discover practical steps for your spiritual growth. Each of these classes is offered approximately once per year.

 

While you may not take all the classes in order, we encourage you to plan on eventually attending them all as a way to get to know your church as well as a gain a clear vision for your own discipleship journey.

 

Deeper Life Series

God has a desire that you become stronger and spiritually more mature. The Deeper Life Series provides solid Bible exposition through various books of the Bible to move you deeper into the Lord and the LBC Discipleship Process. These Classes are designed to provide increasing spiritual stability and strength in your life as an adult at LBC. Special attention is given to the verse by verse explanation of what God is teaching within each paragraph of every section of the Bible Book. Then these truths are applied specifically and personally to your life situation. Subjects and topics are covered when they are raised by the order of the message found in the book being taught. 

 

Each class is designed to stand alone” so that an adult at Laurelwood can step in at any time to be fed from Gods Word. Sunday morning classes begin at 9 am, which corresponds to the same time as our Youth and Childrens Sunday School and nursery to assist those with kids. We invite you to join us as we go deeper into Gods Word together.

Upper Room Discourse

Words of Comfort For Troubled Hearts | 11 Sessions

Taught by John Wecks

 

As Jesus enjoyed a last supper with His disciples, He looked forward to centuries of the Church. The ‘upper room dialogue’ in John 14 -16 is stocked with concentrated spiritual truth ready to explode in the life of every believer. The Lord Jesus teaches about the power of His indwelling presence for living in a troubled world.  His words wash over us, strengthens us, and give us a clear path through stress filled days in 2021.

Daniel | 12 Weeks

Taught by John Wecks

 

Relax! God’s got this! He’s in charge of everything all the time including every single election to government offices whether by mail, by absentee ballot, or whatever means in whatever country. In this book we will thrill over the fact that God’s unwavering promises always come through in the smallest detail for the whole world and our own lives. We learn how to thrive in enemy territory. We will watch what happens when we trust the Lord in impossible situations. We will learn from Daniel, “a man highly esteemed by God” (9:23).
