Life Application 

OVERALL PURPOSE
A Biblical study that can be directly applied to improve and enhance our lives as Christians.

THIS WINTER’S TOPIC
Andrew Lloyd Webber cast him as a rock-n-roll rebel in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar, " many Christians see him as a handsome European-looking man, and social justice groups place him next to Ghandi in his defense of the downtrodden. But, says Philip Yancey, the real Jesus would have left most people scratching their heads along with the disciples and asking, " Who is this guy?"

This is exactly the question Yancey asks in his new book "The Jesus I Never Knew." Yancey's search for the real Jesus collides with the calm, cool, collected, and " loving hippie" notions of Jesus he saw in modern American culture. Instead, he finds a Galilean Jew born into apparent scandal making the most daring of claims: that he is "the Way, the Truth, " and "the Light."

The Jesus I Never Knew" looks at who Jesus was, why he came, and what he left behind.

If you want to rediscover or discover for the first time, “Who Jesus Is”, this class may be for you.
