Southside Baptist Church, Athens, AL

Class: Knowing God
Teacher: Greg Lauderback
Dates: Summer of 2010
Time: Wednesday Nights 6.30 - 8.00

This is a study about God and our living. Based on Jim Packer's famous book, Knowing God, this study assumes that God is knowable and mankind has the capacity to know Him. It also assumes that knowing God encompasses more than pews, programs, and successfully memorizing a few "Christian" catch phrases. This study rebels against the notion that meditating upon God as He has revealed Himself in Scripture is impractical and irrelevant. Ignorance of God may be a well traveled path, but do you really think it wise to live in a world without knowing about the God whose world it is?

Time: Wednesday Nights 6.30 - 8.00
Dates: January 6 - May 26
Teacher: Pastor Joey

Imagine:
Watching a football game that has no football...
Reading a book that has no pages...
Mowing a lawn with no grass...
Eating dinner without food...
Owning a calendar with no dates...
Using a computer without an operating system...
Writing with a pen that has no ink...
Sending your children to a school that has no teachers...
Wearing a suit that has no coat and tie...
Having a filing cabinet without any files...
Listening to a stereo without any speakers...
Planting a flower that has no life...

It is hard to imagine such things. It is harder to imagine a Christless Christianity. Yet the creeping fog of present day Christianity is filled with just about anything except Christ.

This class will unfold how we got here, what it looks like, how we can flee from it, and instruct you to return to the fabric of Christianity, Christ Jesus.

This class is based on the two book series by Michael Horton. Christless Christianity and The Gospel-Driven Life.
