Fall 2010 Classes @ ECC
Olympia Campus
Epistle of Jude
Facilitator: Abe Daniel
Location: Olympia - Auditorium
Dates: Wednesdays, September 8th - November 17th
The Epistle of Jude is seldom taught in our day, yet it is so relevant in its message for the times in which we live. Please join us each week for this verse by verse study. The theme is apostasy (falling away from God) and Jude's writing covers that issue from the angelic host through mankind to Israel and on to the church. This Epistle also comforts the believers that God is able to keep them from falling even though the apostasy is taking place.
Men’s Workshop: Christ's Commands
Facilitators: Ron Wade & Carl Stoker
Location: Olympia - Room 204
Dates: Wednesdays, September 8th - November 17th
Beyond the 10 Commandments, Jesus Christ taught His disciples a number of things that they were to do as His followers. These same "Commands" are still relevant to all Christ followers today, and we will study and discuss what Jesus said about these in His word. This study will follow a series of lessons by Pastor Steve Schell.
