The Pastor's Class
The Pastor’s Class - Isaiah
Not Your Grand-momma’s Bible Study!
Seeking the Good Life — A Study of Virtue
(Sundays: 9:15 - 10:15 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
The Book of Jeremiah offers the following dry assessment of the people of his time:
“Thus says the LORD:
Stand at the crossroads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way lies; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” [Jer. 6:16]
It begs the question, though, “What are these ancient paths, these ‘good ways’, and how are we to walk in them?” The Pastor’s Class aims to answer by making a survey of moral philosophy focussed on the concept of virtue.
First, we will examine the basics of moral philosophy as a foundation upon which we can then engage in a careful study of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Pastor Paul will teach about each of these in turn and will suggest a paring of deadly sins with corresponding virtues which we might pursue to avoid the sins. Come join us and bring a friend!
