 Each year Soapstone offers DISCIPLE Bible Study courses. Over a 2-3 year period all of the DISCIPLE classes are available. In academic year 2009-10, Soapstone is offering Disciple IV.
A 34-week study that moves through the biblical story from Creation to the New Jerusalem. DISCIPLE I participants will have the opportunity to learn and grown in faith and in their understanding of the Bible and to grow in Christian community and fellowship.
DISCIPLE II
Into the Word Into the World
A 32-week study of Genesis-Exodus and Luke-Acts prepared for graduates of DISCIPLE I: Becoming DISCIPLES Through Bible Study. This study emphasizes the rhythm of coming to God and going for God, of being in the Word and in the world individually and corporately.
DISCIPLE III
Remember Who You Are
A 32-week study of The Old Testament Prophets and The Letters of Paul available to graduates of DISCIPLE I: Becoming DISCIPLES Through Bible Study. This study focuses on the connection between memory and identity as the people of God. DISCIPLE III looks at how we are called to live out our Christian identity in the world, through the words of the Old Testament prophets and Paul. (It is not necessary to have taken Disciple II first.)
Disciple IV
Under the Tree of Life
A 32-week study of The Writings, John and Revelation available to graduates of DISCIPLE I: Becoming DISCIPLES Through Bible Study. The word under in the title is meant to convey a welcoming invitation to shelter, security, and rest in God's love. Come and rest in the words of John, The Writings, and Revelation while we study the mystery and wonder these books have to offer.
