CGS is a deliberately thoughtful community of believers, endeavoring to bear witness to the Real Jesus. One of the ways we further this desire is by meeting together on Sunday mornings at 9:30 before our worship hour begins, to study God’s Truth together. During these gatherings, our goals are to understand Scripture more clearly, for the purpose of applying it to our own daily lives more faithfully.
We tackle Life in all of its manifestations in these gatherings, because we believe Scripture is intended to inform our approach to every aspect of the world’s brokenness: Family. Vocation. Marriage. Divorce. Singleness. Sexuality. Culture. Gender. Pain and Suffering. Justice. Despair. Joy.
Come join us for education, for friendship, for discussion, for encouragement, and for perspective on living in Christian relationship with each other in service of Christ’s purposes in our world. Come learn how to apply the teachings of the Real Jesus to the problems of Real People who are confronting the daily realities of the Real World!
Spring 2024 SMCs Session Three
The following SMCs will meet April 7, 14, 21, 28 & May 5, 12, 2024:
OPEN CLASS FORMAT
The Intentional Father Study Group. Jed Busbee, Simon Stokes, & Steve Jones. Room S202. A continuation of the study based on Jon Tyson’s book The Intentional Father, which began last session. If you didn’t attend last session’s class, check with Jed Busbee on how to get caught up.
A Brief History of Music in the Church. Greg Wheatley. Room S212. Fifth century bishop Augustine is credited with saying “He who sings prays twice.” Since the earliest days of the church, singing has been at the heart of Christian worship. Greg takes us on a historical tour of congregational singing through the various eras of church history. As a bonus, we’ll sing many of these hymns and songs together!
Your Kingdom Come. Ryan Barnhart. Room S203-204. If someone asked the question, “What is the kingdom of God?,” how would you respond? This class will uncover the foundations of the Kingdom in the Old Testament, witness its unfolding in the New Testament, and help us understand how we are to live in the kingdom today.
The Gospel-Centered Life. John Worsham. Room N310. John Worsham is Executive Director and Lead Teacher of the Triangle Fellows, a CGS-supported ministry seeking to connect and cultivate Christian leaders to commit their lives to the good of Durham and Chapel Hill. In this class he will draw from Bob Thune’s book The Gospel-Centered Life to help us see how the gospel shapes every aspect of life.
Coffee available in the Concourse beginning at 9:15am. All classes begin at 9:30am.
