Cornerstone will be offering a brand new adult Sunday School class lead by Michelle Church (Sunday August 13th at 9:30 AM in room 211). This class is available for adults of all ages that don’t already have a Sunday School class. We will begin with a six week study from Adam Hamilton’s book, Making Sense of the Bible. If you would like to have a book for this study you can purchase a physical copy from us for $10 or get a digital copy (kindle, iBooks, etc.) for about the same price. Below is a brief synopsis of the study:

In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton invites us into an honest conversation about the Bible. The book begins with foundational questions such as, How and when was the Bible written? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, Is the Bible ever wrong?

From there, Hamilton considers the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations alike, including:

• Were Adam and Eve real people?
• Why is God so violent in the Old Testament?
• Why would Paul command women to “keep silent in the church”?
• Is Jesus the only way to salvation? • How does God view homosexual people?
• Is the Book of Revelation a guide to the End Times?

In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
