On Sunday, February 27, the Adult Sunday School Class will begin a study on the topic of Spiritual Warfare. We will ask and answer questions such as.... What is spiritual warfare? How can I recognize it? In what ways does it affect me? The Bible has much to say about the temptations and struggles you face day by day.
We will be using Spiritual Warfare (LifeGuide Bible Studies/IVP) by Jack Kuhatschek. Duplicated copies will be available in class and at the back of the sanctuary.In this nine session LifeGuide® Bible Study will deepen your understanding of spiritual warfare and direct you to God-given sources of power, assurance, and hope. We will go through each lesson at a leisurely pace, ensuring that everyone is able to gain a thorough understanding.
Some topics to be covered:
- Introduction to Spiritual Warfare
- Detecting the Deceiver
- Facing Temptation
- The Serpent’s Strategy
- The Armor of God
- The War Within
- Defeating the Destroyer
- Overcoming Our Accuser
- Surviving Satan’s Attacks
- Standing Firm
Additional topics will be covered as appropriate.
The Adult class meets each Sunday from 10:15 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. on the kitchen side of the Boyer Auditorium. If you have questions regarding Adult Sunday school, please contact Dan Bramer (thatdanielbramer@gmail.com; 215-316-8356) or the Church Office.
