From The Ridley Institute…..
Happy New Year! Christ is Lord of 2021 just as he was Lord of 2020. He is good all the time and he is faithful. Jesus said “heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matt 24:35). I encourage you to begin this year by seeking Jesus through his Word. We are offering two classes to help you! Both classes will be available for participation in-person or livestream.
Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament
This 8-week course will consider important themes in the Old Testament and how they point to Jesus. It will help students gain a greater appreciation for the Old Testament as a rich resource of faith and an important way of treasuring Christ more dearly.

If you are watching remotely, you will also have the opportunity to submit questions.
Rejoicing in our Suffering: Learnings from the Witness of the African Church
Why is it that those who have experienced tremendous suffering can also carry with them great depths of joy? What are some of the reasons for resiliency of faith seen in those who have walked through great pain but still wholeheartedly affirm the goodness of God? During our time together, we will get to know a community of inspiring Christians living in extreme poverty in Nairobi, Kenya. We will learn from their resilient faith and personal experience of God’s presence. We hope each participant will leave filled with hope in the power of God’s presence in the midst of human suffering.
