The Bible presents God as a provider, healer, and the Almighty. Did you know that the Old Testament assigns specific names to God that reflect these attributes? In this two-part class, join Dr. Joe Zhakevich as he delves into these Hebrew names and explores what they reveal about the Lord. Although the God of the Bible is beyond our full comprehension, He carefully discloses His character through Scripture. Join us this March to deepen your understanding of Yahweh!

Here We Stand: 19 Key Christian Beliefs
- MIKE STALLARD
JANUARY 9, 16, 23
God tells us to take heed “to doctrine” (1 Tim. 4:13). Doctrine is important. However, sound teaching is often described as boring and out-of-date. Shouldn’t we simply ignore doctrine and just “get along?”
In this three-part class, Dr. Mike Stallard shows us how important sound doctrine is to living the Christian life. He will walk through The Friends of Israel’s core beliefs and show how they are relevant today. Doctrine is neither boring nor out-of-date. Rather, it impacts the way we see the world and treat those around us!
