STEP Classes 2010
We believe that growth and progress in the Christian life encompasses more than just coming to a church service one day out of the week. True growth and maturity comes when we learn to harness and apply the proper tools for cultivating a life for God, but this involves intentionality on our part.
Our mission here at Binnerri English Ministry is to lead people to grow into devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Our earnest desire is to train and empower everyone to live a life of devotion to God by equipping them with the necessary tools for spiritual growth.
This summer we will be offering our STEP Summer Classes (Study. Train. Equip. Practice.), in order to help facilitate and nurture that growth.We believe that as we study God's Word in training our minds and hearts through the internalizing of God's truth in our lives, that He will equip us with all the necessary tools so that we will be able to effectively practice the Christian life.
We also believe that God has gifted us with certain abilities and talents, so that we would be able to utilize them for His glory. We not only want to train our minds and hearts, but our hands as well so that we may be a blessing to others as we serve Him.
May God bless you this summer as you commit to taking that NEXT STEP!
Session II (July-August 2010):
Wednesday Evening Classes (July 7 - August 4)
Book Study: "Joseph: A Man of Integrity and Forgiveness
Day & Time: Wednesday Evenings (7:30p-8:45p)
Room: RM 237 (second floor)
Instructor: Pastor Jo Ko
No family today is more dysfunctional than Joseph's. No one faces greater temptation than what Potiphar's wife offered him. No faith is challenged more severely than was Joseph's on death row. Yet, Joseph stood firm, exemplifying what is possible when ordinary people maintain their connections with God. Like an epic novel filled with intrigue, tension, and torrential emotions, Joseph's triumphant story touches us all. This third volume in Charles Swindoll's "Great Lives" series presents a fresh look at one of the most intriguing characters in the Old Testament and focuses on the virtue of forgiveness in the face of deceit and betrayal (NOTE: This class will begin on July 14th).
Sunday Morning & Afternoon Classes (July 11 - August 8)
The Gospel of John; A Visual Bible Study
Day& Time: Sunday Mornings (11:15a-12:30p)
Room: RM 102 (First Floor)
Instructor: HaYoon Kim
This widely acclaimed motion picture is a meticulous recreation of the turbulent era of Jesus and the events that changed the course of history! It's the bold and powerful story of Jesus as told by his disciple John. The best-loved but least understood of the gospels, John presents a uniquely human portrait of courage and passion encompassing Jesus' entire three-year ministry, the final years of his life. The Gospel of John offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the incomparable life and times of Jesus Christ.
Book Study: "Let the Nations Be Glad"
Day & Time: Sunday Afternoons (1:15p-2:30p)
Room: RM 234 (second floor)
Instructor: Casey Malarcher
Come and explore a possibly new perspective on missions and worship from the author of "Desiring God" and "Don't Waste Your Life." Piper's modern missions classic will serve as a springboard for discussions of the purpose,necessity, and nature of missions in our Christian lives. Selected passages from the book will be highlighted in this class rather than trying to study the whole book in just a few weeks.
Ministry Discovery
Day & Time: Sunday Afternoons (1:15p-2:30p)
Room: RM 235 (second floor)
Instructor: Pastor Andrew Yi
Have you wanted to get involved and serve, but wondered what or how you would be able to contribute? This class is designed to help you discover your unique ministry gifts for serving God and His church. Through in-depth teaching and a comprehensive personal evaluation, you'll realize that God gave you special gifts, abilities, experiences, and passions to serve His church.
Spiritual Disciplines
Day & Time: Sunday Afternoons (1:15p-2:30p)
Room: RM 236 (second floor)
Instructor: Pastor Jo Ko
The freedom to grow in godliness is in large part dependent on a deliberate cultivation of the spiritual disciplines found in God's Word. Far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty. In this class we will learn how to cultivate the spiritual disciplines that will help us to grow in an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
Bible Background and Culture
Day & Time: Sunday Afternoons (1:15p-2:30p)
Room: RM 237 (second floor)
Instructor: Jin Chung
The Bible is a collection of 66 ancient documents. A Jewish person reading it 2,000 years ago naturally understood its cultural and historical context. But for the modern reader, Bible reading can feel like reading Shakespeare without Cliff Notes. And although weĠre familiar with many passages, the Bible may seem like a scrambled jigsaw puzzle, where weĠre fuzzy about how the stories link together. Using basic timelines, maps, photos and bios - the class will help you fit the pieces together and better understand the time and place in which people like Jeremiah, Jesus and Paul spoke to their audience.
Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed Part I (for Women Only)
Day & Time: Sunday Afternoons (1:15p-2:30p)
Room: RM 239 (second floor)
Instructor: Kathy Chung
Well-known conference speakers Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, and Kay Arthur explore their lives and the life of David in this six-session study. The messages presented by these beloved authors are divided into three segments, two lessons from each author. Each segment focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man, as a middle-aged man, and as a man facing the final third of his life. You'll laugh with them, cry with them, and learn to love God with them. Each class involves weekly preparation, watching a video in class, and discussion. The second part of this class will be offered in STEP Session II.
