Class Options

Spring a

• Typology: How People, Events, and Institutions in the Old Testament Point to Jesus

  • The Bible is one complete story. While the Old Testament is filled with many stories of people, events, and institutions, each of these point forward to something greater. In this 8-week study, you’ll learn how people (like Adam and David), events (like the Exodus), and institutions (like the Priesthood), all point to an ultimate fulfillment in Jesus. Through repeated patterns in the Old Testament, you’ll see how the biblical authors anticipated and looked forward to the coming of Christ.

• Habits of the Household

  • We become our habits and our kids become us. If we want to help form their spiritual formation, we need be develop healthy habits in our lives and homes. Join us as we explore 10 healthy habits that you can do in your home to reshape the normal into moments to disciple your family.

• The Third Third of Life

  • How do you plan to live out the last ’third’ of your life? It’s a question we need to consider and we want to equip you for this next chapter of life. Join us over the next 8 weeks as we take a hard look at our retirement and how to plan out our next steps.

Class Options

Spring B

• Journey in the Psalms

  • The Psalms are a treasure trove of wisdom and insight into the character and nature of God. During this 7-week study, we’ll examine the many different types of psalms by diving into an individual entry from each category. These categories include: Songs of Ascent, Communal and Individual Laments, Royal, Thanksgiving, Imprecatory, and Acrostic psalms.

• Christ Centeredness Within Cultural Madness

  • Over the last 10 years, our culture has widely adopted an anti-Biblical worldview. Over the next 8 weeks, we will examine those 'hot button’ issues from a Biblical, Christian perspective while we ask the question: “What does the Bible say about that?” We want to help present day Christians hold a biblical worldview in a post-biblical world.

• Understanding World Religions & How to Reach Them for the Gospel

  • At FBCO, we want you to reach the world for the sake of the Gospel. One of the first steps is learning what are the major world religions and how do I understand what they teach. We will take an overview look at some of the major world religions, then help you learn to engage with them to share the Gospel. Come learn with us so we can better reach all of the nations and all of our neighbors.
