1 Peter: Baptismal Identity & Life (Adults)
Only five chapters long, 1 Peter contains a number of important themes that Christian disciples must master if we would serve Jesus faithfully in our own day.
Though 1 Peter teaches us a lot about what God is like, it is also an intensely practical book that teaches us to grow and change in positive ways.

Luther: Gospel, Law, and Reformation (Adults)
This course explores Luther’s theology, the circumstances surrounding the major issues and events in the Reformation as it unfolded in Luther’s life after he posted his famous 95 Theses on the door of the church of Wittenberg , Germany , in 1517. Professor Phillip Cary presents Luther as a multifaceted human being, a man with extraordinary virtues and profound flaws.
