Biblical Insights
into Child Training
Parents can accidentally train
their children to disobey.
They can also exasperate
their children through their
own improper attitudes and
inconsistencies. Reb Bradley’s
video series gives us tools
to establish parental control
in our home. God’s design
for training and disciplining
our children are found in His
Word. This class is aimed
toward parents planning for
a family, and for those with
newborns through children in
mid to late elementary school.
$12 will cover the cost of the
book and syllabus available
in class.
Business by the Book
Find your purpose in busi-
ness. How important is
servant leadership? Make
good decisions and learn how
to manage and keep good
employees the Biblical way.
Improve your role in business
marketing, business planning,
and organization. To order
materials go to www.Crown.
org. Questions? Contact Mike
Wells at 407-748-7546 or mi-
chaelowells@bellsouth.net.
Cult Awareness
Explore the process in which
people are deceived into
believing things contrary to
Orthodox Christianity. Many
cult groups are flourishing
in our neighborhoods and
around the world. The cultic
indoctrination is subtle, so
many Christians are caught
off-guard. This class will
discuss the doctrinal differ-
ences and how to defend our
faith. Discussion will include
Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormon-
ism, Seventh-Day Adventists,
Freemasonry, and the New Age
Movement.
Daniel – Part 2
Are domestic and international
tensions, terrorism, and moral
decay getting you down? Daniel
lived as a captive in a foreign
land, but he made a lasting im-
pact not only on his people, but
also on his enemies, because
he knew El Elyon – God Most
High. You can know the same
Mighty God! Workbooks avail-
able in bookstore.
For Women Only
Need help unraveling the mys-
tery of manhood? The inner
lives of men are not a mystery
to frustrate, puzzle, or even to
solve, but God’s plan from the
very beginning. This study is
for every woman who wants to
support her man in becoming
all that God intends him to be.
Eye-opening discoveries and
practical tips growing out of
biblical principles will help you
put new insights into practice
and focus on understanding
the man in your life to provide
the loving support he wants
and needs! Workbook available
in bookstore.
Galatians
God has a standard. But He
makes it possible for you to be
acceptable to Him at all times
when He gives you righteous-
ness as your clothing. Your
faith in Christ enables God to
regard you as righteous. He
doesn’t see your sin any longer,
but He sees you as clothed with
the righteousness of Christ. As
such you are acceptable and
carry authority.
Greek Intro
This is an extension of the
class, Learning New Testament
Greek, and will be covering
chapters 11 through 19. Any-
one interested in continuing
this class for advanced study as
well as for review are welcome.
II Corinthians
Paul writes his second letter to
the church in Corinth. As the
most personal of all his letters,
he expresses both how exciting
and how painful his life as a
missionary has been. He also
fi nds it necessary to defend
himself against those who are
criticizing him. As you study
this letter, think about how
exciting it can be to serve the
Lord, but realize too that being
a Christian can sometimes lead
to pain and suffering.
Leading and Loving/
Heart That Makes a
Home
MUST HAVE COMPLETED
“Biblical Portrait of Marriage”
PRIOR TO TAKING THIS
CLASS. We’ll take a more
detailed look at the husband’s
and wife’s roles in a marriage,
including what it means for
the husband to be a Godly
leader, and precisely what the
role of the wife was designed
to be, not according to our
culture, and not according to
psychologists, but according to
the unchanging truth of God’s
Word. Dr. Bruce Wilkinson and
his wife Darlene will guide us
through the Biblical perspec-
tives. Workbook available in
bookstore.
Lord, Teach
Me to Pray
Jesus gave His disciples a
perfect pattern for prayer in
the Lord’s Prayer. In this study,
Kay Arthur leads you to put the
Lord’s Prayer into practice. You
will gain insights from God’s
Word on how to pray, what to
pray, and what to expect when
you pray. Workbooks available
in bookstore.
Love and Respect
The love she most desires; the
respect he desperately needs.
Marriages today face a moun-
tain of challenges. Busy sched-
ules, family-of-origin issues,
work expectations, addictive
behaviors, affairs and dwin-
dling romance all conspire
against healthy marriages.
Often the mountain of marital
problems seems insurmount-
able, prompting too many
couples to give up and consider
divorce as their best option. We
believe hope can be renewed
in every marriage, and that cou-
ples can acquire and develop
new tools and skills that will
facilitate a transformation in
their marriage. Book available
in bookstore.
