Our study of the book of Daniel looks at the overarching plan of God for Israel and the other nations of our world, a plan culminating in the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30.7) and the coming of Messiah. We will discover a profound message embedded in that plan, a message of encouragement for God’s people who endured minority status in a pagan land. That message provides a vision for transforming the very culture that threatens to extinguish God’s light.

In & Out Of Babylon is a group-learning experience for Christians who feel the rumble of the freight train of cultural change hurtling past us. The class provides a fresh look at our Messiah and His Great Commission for Christians who realize we’re not in Jerusalem anymore. We’re effectively in Babylon! Does God still have a viable plan for our world, our nation, our city? Can we still reach a post-Christian culture that no longer respects the Bible nor biblical religion? The answer is Yes! Join us for a look at what ancient prophecy tells us about bringing God’s redemption to our world here and now.
