New Spiritual Defense Bible Class Launched
A new “spiritual defense” Bible class is now meeting at our church every Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. Led by Charles Reynolds, the class focuses on topics that are pertinent to teens, young adults, and young parents, though individuals of all ages are welcome to attend.
Charles decided to start the class in response to observations that many people have stopped attending church. The class seeks to address the reasons these individuals decide to stop attending, including their discouragement about their inability to live up to biblical ideals, a disinterest in spiritual things, a feeling that the church is no longer relevant to their lives, and their inability to articulate their beliefs to others.
According to Charles, when people can understand and appreciate the depth of God’s love for them, from both an experiential and intellectual perspective, they are much less likely to stop attending church. In his class, Charles hopes to provide his students with the depth of understanding they need to articulate their own beliefs about God’s love for them and the relevancy of biblical truths to their own lives.
The class is called Holy Jeet Kune Do, a Chinese term that means “way of the intercepting fist.” It is a Bible-based “spiritual defense” class that provides students with the Bible knowledge they need to strengthen their faith, despite obstacles and negative pressure from those around them.
If you’ve been attending this new class, please leave a comment below, sharing what you are learning in the class, so that others can get a better sense of what the class is all about.
