Module 1 | Bob Skoubo & Scott DeViney | Begins April 24

Nehemiah – Last Man Standing in the Old Testament

Module 2 | Paul Lantz | Begins April 24

The Old Testament spans thousands of years of history, both Biblical and secular. It begins with “In the beginning God….” (Gen 1:1) and concludes with one man, Nehemiah, standing in the gap between the “400 Silent Years” and the New Testament. His ministry as recorded in Scripture in his own words covered a period of only 24 years. If you know him only as a man who built a wall, please reconsider and come to see how his ministry impacted:

• God’s Plan of Redemption
• The fulfillment of the Covenants between God and Man
• The preservation of the lineage of Christ
• The preservation of the remnant of a Nation chosen by God
• The fulfillment of prophesy

Don’t believe it? Come and see. And all this from a humble man who concluded in the last verse of the last chapter of his Book this prayer: “Remember me, oh my God, for good.” (Nehemiah 13:31). (part of the Deeper Life Series)

Freedom in Christ – Living Out the Gospel

Room 303 | Tracy Halstead | Begins April 24

The Apostle Paul wrote the Book of Galatians in order to refute those claiming the Gentile believers needed to live according to certain aspects of the Jewish law in order to be truly converted. Those new believers were confused and Paul is writing to clarify the freedom believers have in Christ because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Paul also describes how to live out the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit as we walk according to the Spirit and not according to the flesh. Paul’s message applies to us today and we will look at how the Book of Galatians can help us to live out this freedom which Christ has provided for us and to help us walk in the power of the Spirit in our daily lives. (part of the Deeper Life Series)

Re-Discovery Series

Our Re-Discovery series classes are for you to meet our pastors and leaders, hear what we believe, know our vision for discipleship and discover along the way how God is prompting you to grow in your faith.  The Discover Laurelwood class is an introduction to our church and what it looks like to be a disciple of Christ. The other classes will unpack each area of discipleship in greater depth. Each class not only shares our faith and vision, but also practical steps for spiritual growth.

Classes are offered periodically at the 9 a.m. hour as announced in the e-bulletin. While you may not take all the classes at once or in any particular order, we encourage you to plan on eventually attending them all as a way to get to know your church but also to get 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 God’s Word. Sunday morning classes begin at 9 am, which corresponds to the same time as our Youth and Children’s Sunday School and nursery to assist those with kids. We invite you to join us as we go deeper into God’s Word together.

Periodically we offer mid-week ministry classes and seminars.

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. 

Class Notes

One element of most world religions is the belief in ghosts. Even the disciples of Jesus were at first confused at his appearance in the upper room. "They were frightened and thought they were seeing a spirit." It wasn’t the first time the disciples made mistakes about Jesus. So how did Jesus address their spooky orientation? There would have to be physical evidence in addition to Christ’s words. When you think about Christ's resurrection, is there any harm with symbolic, allegorical, mythological, or spiritualist orientations regarding his post-resurrection appearances? How is a fish one aspect of evidence? Do you think Christ will have pierced hands when you meet him in heaven? Can it be helpful to prevent people from seeking resurrection experiences? These and other questions will be answered this Sunday as we consider the value of the Physical Resurrection in history and in our own story.

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).
