Harbor, Pepperdine Bible Lectures

Darryl Tippens

Randy Roper  We rejoice in life's mountaintop experiences - those distinct moments when we recognize the presence and power of the Holy Spirit among us. But we know life is not lived on the mountaintop. Like Elijah, we must descend from the summit and face the discouragement and difficulties that so often await us. What do we do when we feel like we've had enough?

Lawrence Murry

Greg Swinney Every day is a fresh start for us. We hear about new businesses starting, runners starting the race and the next new diet we will start "tomorrow." Somehow we know when it's time to have a fresh start. The Holy Spirit is all about supernatural fresh starts. Join us in this session to learn about the Sacred Startups of the Holy Spirit throughout the Bible and the potential for new beginnings in our lives today.

Bobby Valentine This class offers a way of sharing the reality of the Spirit with people through reading Ephesians. This third class will reflect on the role of the Spirit in worship and ethics as believers embody the life of Christ in the world.

Greg Taylor How the former Garnett Road Church of Christ in Tulsa, OK is continuing The Journey after 50 years

Craig Young  Craig will combine over 25 years of personal mission experience in Marseille, France with his specific doctoral research to share what God is doing among Muslims in his corner of the Mediterranean rim. As Muslims immigrate to the West in record numbers, hear and be encouraged by some real life examples of love in response to one of the most pressing missional needs of our time. Consider what a dwelling place full of the love and peace of Christ can produce in the hearts of those born and raised in the Muslim world.

Steven Brice With countless protests, boycotts and views being shared on social media, it appears that the church could become marginalized. Let's have a conversation on what the church needs to do on the frontline of healing racial divides.

Charles Kiser  God is at work at the margins of society, among those many would least expect. What if we didn't have to take God with us into relationships with neighbors in poverty? What if he is already there and we simply have to discover what he's doing?

Trevor Thompson People lie; the question is always why. In one of the most disturbing stories in the Bible, Ananias and Sapphira attempt to deceive the Spirit. The result is divine homicide. The dead couple no longer tell tales. What does this tawdry tale teach about life in communities of the Spirit?
