| Class 100-200-300, Week 7 Posted March 10, 2010 Tags: Class 100-200-300, Steve Eriksson  Class 100 Participants - Bottom L to R: Beverly Woodard, Table Leader Carol Porter, and Sheryl Hawkins. Top L to R: Charles Woodard and Jim Hawkins Pastor Steve Eriksson shared with our class today that God expects us to be able to share our faith when called upon to do so. 1 Peter 3:15: “In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” We discussed the fact that the primary reason people don’t share their faith is fear, and that the primary tool against fear is knowledge. Therefore, Pastor Steve shared a variety of tools, and understanding to help assuage some of our fears. Perhaps the biggest “aha” for the group was that it is not our responsibility to “close the deal”. God desires that we cast the net. It is God’s responsibility to fill the net. In next week’s class we will be learning how to discover our spiritual gifts. Class 100 provides a safe and comfortable place to discuss the Christian faith, learn more about the foundational doctrines of that faith, and is also the doorway to becoming a member of Scottsdale Bible Church.

| Class 100-200-300, Week 6 Posted March 2, 2010 Tags: Class 100-200-300, Steve Eriksson  Class 100 Participants - Daniel and Corinn Miekley In this week’s class, Pastor Steve Eriksson lead us in a discussion regarding the church. We learned that there is a universal church which represents the body of Christ all over the world, and that the church is also represented in local gatherings of believers united by their relationship with Christ. The church is many things, but it first and foremost exists to glorify God. Beyond that the church exists to make disciples, ease suffering, provide teaching, and fellowship. We also break bread together, pray together, worship together, observe communion together, baptize one another, as well as being nurturing one another. If all of this occurs, glued together with the love of Christ, then together we can manifest the true beauty of Christ to a fallen world. In next week’s class, we will be learning how to share our faith.

| Class 100-200-300, Week 5 Posted February 22, 2010 Tags: Class 100-200-300, Steve Eriksson  Class 100 Participants - Ethan and Jacqueline Tatum Today’s class brought a transition from understanding who God is, to learning what it means to be a disciple of Christ. The Greek word mathetes is used both inside and outside the Bible as a general term for learner or follower. In the New Testament, the disciples of Jesus were called Christians because they followed Christ. Disciples are Christ followers. Pastor Steve Eriksson taught us that disciples are expected to grow in their faith. The writer of Hebrews calls us to proceed from spiritual milk to solid food. Here are seven marks that disciples will have:
This is not an exhaustive list, but it gave all of us enough to chew on throughout the week.
