Spring Semester Class List

Class Name: Bad Arguments Against Religion

Teacher: Israel Nick Amic

Description: Today’s followers of Messiah are continually bombarded with sound-bites and social media memes that make fun of or come against their faith. This semester we’ll cut through the empty words, name-calling, and hollow arguments by learning how to examine religious, spiritual, and truth claims in the light of our rich spiritual heritage. If you’ve ever wanted to speak up for Messiah but were too afraid or didn’t know what to say, this class will help! We’ll equip you to think through issues critically and to respond in a peaceful way which will make a difference for our Messiah!

Class Name: The Life of King David

Teacher: Yoshi McLeod

Description: The rise and reign of King David is the high point of the story of Tanakh. David rose from being a young, rejected shepherd boy to the most memorable and beloved King of Israel. He fought battles, built a kingdom in the heartland of ancient Israel, yearned for Hashem, and wrote poetry that resonates in our hearts until this day. Hashem loved David so much that he called him a man after his own heart. Who was this servant of Hashem? Together we will track the life of King David and deepen our understanding of the story of Tanakh.

In this class, we will explore the prophecies throughout the Tanakh about the coming messiah. We will learn how to determine who is the real Messiah and what to do when we encounter a false one.
