Adult Education:
Why join an adult study? An adult study is a great way to connect with other members of the church for friendship and support. Beyond the social aspect, diving into a study can be an antidote to a common adulthood ailment. In the Message Study Bible, Eugene Peterson offers this insight in his sidebar entitled What to do when delight diminishes.
"Our culture has failed precisely because it is a secular culture. A secular culture is a culture reduced to a thing or a function. Typically, at least at first, people are delighted to find themselves living in such a culture. It's wonderful to have all these things coming our way without having to worry about any purpose for them beyond our own pleasure. And it's wonderful to have all this incredible freedom to do so much without bothering about whether or not what we do has any meaning. But after a few years of this our delight diminishes, and we find ourselves lonely with all the things and bored with all the freedom.
Our first response is to get more and do more, because that was exactly what made us so happy to begin with. But after a few years of this, we find that we aren't happier. And we're left scratching our heads. Even as Christians we're left scratching our heads.
Why? Well, it isn't because the Christian bible has pages missing; It's because we haven't seen all there is on the pages we already have.
An adult bible study is an inroad into making fresh discoveries within the pages of your bible- leading to fresh discoveries in your own life!
