Young Families Class: The Story of Scripture: The Big Picture and a Closer Look
First, we will use the Bible, Simplified to understand the collective story of the Bible, to gain clarity and confidence in incorporating the realities of Scripture into our lives. Too often, we find ourselves walking away from reading Scripture, feeling lost instead of encouraged, something Zach Windahl experienced firsthand. Even though he grew up going to church, his Bible often remained on the shelf. It wasn’t until he discovered the joy of reading the Bible that he became passionate about helping others do the same. In his relatable and easy-to-read style, Zach has simplified Scripture to help you—especially if you’re a new Christian— understand the Bible’s message in a way that’s approachable and life-changing.
Then, for the last half of class we will dive into the book of Romans using N.T. Wright’s book, Into the Heart of Romans. Romans is often and for good reason considered a crux of Christian thought and theology, the greatest of Paul's letters. And within Romans, chapter 8 is one of the most spectacular pieces of early Christian writing. But to many readers, Romans can be a deceptively difficult book. Its scope and basic meaning may be clear, but it can be hard to see how it all fits together into a cohesive, if complex, doctrinal argument. N. T. Wright—widely regarded as the most influential commentator and interpreter of Paul—deftly unpacks this dense and sometimes elusive letter, detailing Paul's arguments and showing how it illuminates the Gospel from the promises to Abraham through the visions of Revelation.

General Adult Class: A Survey of Themes from Paul’s Letters
Each week, this class will explore a theme that is common across several of the letters of the apostle Paul, such as God's sovereignty, grace, spiritual warfare and others. This class will be great for long-time Christians who enjoy studying and discussing Paul’s lessons, or for newer followers of Jesus who seek an understanding of the fundamental themes of the Christian faith.

General Adult Class: The Rhythms of Community & Fasting
This semester, we will be digging deeper into the foundational rhythm of living in community as well as one of the rhythms we are engaging in together as a church in alignment with RRCOC’s vision to be Spirit-filled & Spirit-led followers of Jesus for those who don’t have a home yet.
To start, we will dive into the practice of community which is a way of combating loneliness and cultivating places of belonging for ourselves and others.
And then, we will explore the rhythm of fasting, looking at models of fasting and understanding the ways fasting has the power to change your life.
