The love she most desires; the respect he desperately needs.
Marriages today face a mountain of challenges. Busy schedules,
family-of-origin issues, work expectations, addictive behaviors,
affairs and dwindling romance all conspire against healthy
marriages. Often the mountain of marital problems seems
insurmountable, prompting too many couples to give up and
consider divorce as their best option. We believe hope can be
renewed in every marriage, and that couples can acquire and
develop new tools and skills that will facilitate a transformation in
their marriage. Books available in bookstore.
to which God is leading you! MasterLife 1 & 2 are prerequisites.
Marriage: Built to Last
Many parents apply the same parenting principles to their preadolescent/adolescent children as they do to their young children.
Such parents often rely on sheltering and strict control while others
become frustrated and back off entirely. Fortunately, God has not
left us without help. In the Bible, King Solomon modeled for us a
perfect balance of leadership and liberty thus helping us transition
from parenting children to young adults.
We all want healthy, loving marriages, but there are so many issues
that can stand in the way. In this six session video series, Chip Ingram provides practical tools for couples to improve their marriage
to last a lifetime. Workbooks available in the bookstore.

education for caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients, as well as education for those interested in learning more about this disease.

goal is to provide compassion, support and helpful information
and resources, as well as a safe place to navigate this journey.
For more information call 407-855-7144 or 407-351-3612.
Archeology of the Old Testament
This class will explore some of the great archaeological discoveries over the past hundred years related to the Old Testament.
Specifically we will look at discoveries which have given us
valuable insights into the settings of the biblical world, contributing to a better understanding of the biblical text. Discussions
will center on the Patriarchs, Joshua and the Conquest, Judges,
and the Kings of Israel.
Background and Message of the New Testament
Beginning with the period between the Old Testament and the
New, we will survey the various parts of the New Testament,
and also look at the sequence of events in Jesus’ life. Then we
will journey through the history of the early church as we find
it in Acts. Next we will summarize the chief points of each of
Paul’s letters, placing each in the setting of Paul’s life. We will
get an overview of each of the general epistles. Finally, we will
share several approaches to an interpretation of the Book of
Revelation.
Basics of Our Faith - OCTOBER
This class will address the challenges against the Church: the
Deity of Christ, and salvation; the accuracy of scripture; how
can we interpret scripture; the claim that Christianity borrowed
its teachings from pagan mythology; the nature of man and the
afterlife; and which are the essential doctrines of our faith.
Brave: Honest Questions Women Ask - OCTOBER
This Angela Thomas study for women looks at the heart of
what women are thinking and feeling, examining deep feelings
that all women have at one time or another. Why can’t I get it
together? Am I as invisible as I feel? What am I so afraid of? It
takes a brave woman to ask these questions and dig into these
topics. We’ve all got insecurities, flaws, and struggles that we’re
afraid to address. But if we can be brave enough to raise the
questions, God will answer us.
Cancer: Treatment & Prevention - OCTOBER
Presented by oncology healthcare experts from MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando, a part of Orlando Health. Topics
include breast, colon, lung and skin cancer; complementary
and alternative approaches to cancer(nutrition); support for the
