A group of adult, Sunday School members from First United Methodist, in El Dorado Kansas, has begun a study of Christianity's Family Tree, by Adam Hamilton. Pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas, Adam Hamilton has created a video-based small group study that addresses such questions as: Why do Orthodox Christians use icons in worship? What is the “baptism in the Holy Spirit” that Pentecostals speak about? Why do Roman Catholics focus on the Eucharist in worship? What do Lutherans teach us about salvation? What do Presbyterians teach us about God’s power? How can Episcopalians deepen our prayer life? What can Baptists teach us about living for Christ?
Adam Hamilton will begin answering these questions and more in this eight-session, DVD-based study. Participants will learn of the history, theology, and distinctive emphases of eight different Christian denominations and faith traditions. For each tradition, participants will hear from a clergy member of that tradition and look at Scriptures that have shaped that faith. Churches that purchase the study will be given tools and sermon starters to create a congregationwide emphasis, shaping worship around elements of each denomination as it is studied.
This class meets on Sunday mornings at 9:30 in the Overlow Room (directly across from the church office). We welcome you to join us!
