- Sun, Sept 25– Intro & Are You Saved, or Are You Presbyterian? Questions around salvation, conversion, and Grace… not works! What does it really mean to be a Presbyterian?
- Sun, Oct. 2– Is the Bible the Literal Word of God, or Just a Long, Boring Book? Tackling the question: Do you believe in the Bible and the statement Jesus was not a literalist are fun thoughts for this day. The authors look at the Word vs. words and Why and How we read the Bible!
- Sun, Oct. 9– Are You Going to Heaven, or to Tulsa? This chapter covers those BIG topics like… Are you sure you are going to heaven, do Presbyterians even believe in Hell, and is it about Guilt or Gratitude?
- Sun, Oct. 16– Is Jesus “Lord,” or Just a Good Guy? And what about all this Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ stuff? Is it really all about personal salvation or, for us, is it about community celebration?
- Sun, Oct. 23 – Are Only 144,000 Saved? Do Presbyterian believe in Predestination? The short answer is that Presbyterian don’t believe in Predestination; they believe in God. The longer answer is more complex, though, because Presbyterians believe God always knows more than we can know… Predestination, Salvation, and Election.
- Sun, Oct. 30 – Joint Brunch Outing Meet in Youth Room CE 206 & walk over as a group The last Sunday of each month chaperones will take the Sunday School Class over to the Brooklyn Cafe for a Brunch Fellowship outing for fellowship and class discussions on what has been learned in their individual Sunday School classes that month, or for group building discussions.

- Sun, Nov. 6– When Will the World End, or did it End in the 1960’s? Do Presbyterians believe in the Book of Revelations, are we Apocalyptic or full of Shalom, and why we hope!

- Sun, Dec. 11– Why Don’t You Repent in Dust and Ashes? As Presbyterians, if asked if we are sinners, we answer, “Absolutely I am: and so is every other person.” But given our understanding of sin and grace, there’s a choice. Will we be self-righteous or self-accepting? This chapter addresses sin, confession, repentance, forgiveness and new life!
- Sun, Dec. 18 – Who’s In Charge? End of Semester “Wrap Up PARTY” Bring some breakfast treats & goodies for the class and discuss what they have learned this semester. Make it a Wrap up Sunday School Party and as many leaders as are available who have helped out this year, are invited to celebrate with the class! Congrats on another Fall Sunday School in the Books!
