Course 101 is a 9-12 week course, which will give an intellectual basis for answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the Christian faith and addresses misconceptions about God, Jesus and the Bible. Both those who have experience with Christianity and those just beginning to consider it will have the chance to explore how Christianity addresses questions about the meaning of life, our purpose and the longings of our hearts.  If you would like to find out more about C101 check out the following link (Course 101) or sign up below.

Join Chuck Colson and a panel of leaders in business, law, economics and ethics for a live interactive discussion of questions such as:

• How did we get into this mess?
• Is there truth or a moral law that we can all know?
• If we know what is right, can we do it?
• What does it mean to be human, and why does it matter?
• How do we rebuild and apply ethics and morality in the marketplace and public life?

For this tour we will remain in the southwest sector of the compass long enough to examine a special sub-category of the discussion on the design of the state. In particular, we want to take a brief look at the question, “What should God’s minister on earth (Romans 13:4) look like? What is a proper form for this agency that is divinely appointed and commissioned to administer justice, punish evil, and encourage goodness among its citizens or subjects?” We will approach this task by considering the American Experiment.

This lesson takes us to the southeast sector of the Truth compass for a tour of the socialsphere that Dr. Tackett characterizes as the heart and soul of Christianity: the Mystical Union (Latin, Unio Mystica) between God and man. Here, in the most intimate and profoundly mysterious sphere of the “Intimate Three” (family, church, and the God-man relationship), we have the privilege of pondering exactly what it is that Christ has purchased for us at the price of His precious blood shed on the cross for our sins: not simply salvation from hell, but an invitation into the Godhead itself, where we may experience the incomprehensible wonder of oneness with the Creator of the universe.
