SENIOR HIGH YOUTH BIBLE STUDY CLASS - two studies:
“DEFENDING YOUR FAITH”
The case for Christianity is built with solid reasoning. Topics include: The Existence of God, Creation vs. Evolution, Historical Reliability of the New Testament, Resurrection of Jesus, Messianic Prophecies, and more.
“THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY SUPPRESSIVE PEOPLE”
This study gets seriously funny by studying on-the-street interviews using questions like: Why do so many people believe that the Bible isn’t true? Why do they reject the Bible’s authority? Seven “suppressive” attitudes are shown that non-Christians use to justify their beliefs. We’ll see the real reason so many reject God’s Word.
