The goal of the class is to further our cooperation with God’s plan to make us like His son.

New Testament Distinctives — Room 142

Tom Fogle

Part III in the basic adult Sunday school curriculum, the course is designed to learn from the scriptures the pattern and practice of the New Testament Church and its application at Cedar Valley Bible Church.
The class is for those who have completed Old Testament Walk Through and the Romans classes.

Living by the Book — Room 143

Jim Anderson

If you’re a “new” believer and wonder how to begin to tackle the Bible, THIS will help!
If you’re an “old” believer, but one who honestly can’t see any observable spiritual growth in your life recently and for whom personal Bible study has become dull, This WILL help! And if you’re anywhere in-between, this will HELP!
Howard Hendricks, in his practical book, Living by the Book, tells us not only WHY we should be in the Word regularly, but HOW to study the Word in a manner that enhances our understanding and challenges us to let IT change our life.
WARNING: Expect homework which will require outside class time and could be life-changing—IF you let the Word do its work!

Elective Courses

Life in the Spirit — Room 147

Chuck Lillis and Steve Koenck

This class is ideal for all ages. Any new visitors or newcomers to Cedar Valley are welcome to attend! We have an indwelling source of power in the person of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live the Christian Life. Without Him, we’re about as useful to God’s kingdom as an unplugged toaster.
This class is intended to: Help you get 'plugged in'— Help you help others to 'get plugged in.'
One of the objectives of the class is to provide an opportunity for the participants to fellowship together, including refreshments!

Tape Series — Room 151

Don Nelson and Dan Lord

The class will continue the video series exploring the physical sites where important Biblical events took place.  This semester will include events from Jesus' ministry in Galilee.  But it will also expand beyond the land of Israel to look at events in the early church and in ancient Egypt.

Proverbs — Room 125

Marlon Vogt and Bob Cline

Proverbs is an Old Testament book that contains wisdom for right-living.  This class will focus on what Proverbs has to say about key areas of our lives:  God, Wisdom/Wise, Folly/Fools, Righteous, Wicked, Speech, Guidance, Rich, Poor, Sins, Family, Friends and Neighbors.  Those in the class will be encouraged to read a Proverb-a-Day, so will read through the book a number of times during the semester.  Attendees will also be encouraged to journal their discoveries and write short devotionals that will be edited and compiled by Shari Guthrie.

Gospel According to Isaiah — Room 148

Rox Brandstatter and Gregg Lind

The Book of Isaiah, written 700 years before Christ, reveals the Jewish nature of our Messiah and the fulfillment of His coming as the Lamb of God. See why New Testament authors have quoted Isaiah more than any other Old Testament source and why this Old Testament narrative is often called the 5th Gospel.  We will be viewing a series of DVD's by Jeffrey Seif of Zola Levitt Ministries.
