Starting Sept. 15th, there is a special discussion class being offered at 11:00 every Sunday morning (thru 10/13). We will be looking at Dave’s sermons on Acts: Discussing his points, takeaways, the original setting, and what was going on in the ancient world. Our focus will be on learning more about the Bible and how it applies to our lives today.
Dr. Daryl Fisher-Ogden will be leading us. She brings a wealth of knowledge to us having both an MDiv and PhD in historical theology.
Join us in the Sanctuary, section nearest the windows.
Bring your thoughts, questions and a friend!
We live in a wonderfully diverse area of Southern California with ethnic, cultural, and religious pluralism. As a church we strive to live the gospel in every area of our lives, including our relationships with people from other religious traditions. Unfortunately, people from other religious traditions often seem strange or intimidating to many. This is especially the case with our Muslim neighbors. To begin remedying this situation, our church is offering a five week class entitle "Loving Our Muslim Neighbors." This course is in the spirit of Jesus's parable of the good Samaritan, that everyone is our neighbor to whom we should show love and hospitality. The goal of this course is not only to learn more about Muslim life and the Islamic tradition, but also to deepen the participants life in God and engagement with our community.
Alexander Massad is an Adjunct Professor in Religious Studies at California Lutheran University and finishing his PhD at Fuller Theological Seminary on Muslim-Christian Relations. He has lived and worked in the Middle East and has previously taught this course to churches in Virginia and Washington D.C. He is a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church and has worked with churches in the Reformed tradition on Christian-Muslim relations over the past five years.
