One Nation Under God
Summer 2025
Facilitated by Buzz Busboom. This class was not recorded for later viewing.
This four-session class explored the ways in which our country’s founders employed Christian teachings as they composed “The Declaration of Independence” and the “Constitution of the United States.” In our time, the idea that God and God’s Word guided our nation’s founders has become controversial. We’ll rediscover the founders’ inspiration and intent.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD: Here Now & Forever
Spring 2025
Our class Youtube Playlist can be found here.
Often the Kingdom of God is thought of strictly as something to come in the End Times or as we go to Heaven. Jesus taught a fuller meaning of the Kingdom of God, not only as something to come, but also something in the here and now. This class examines how the Old Testament prophecies, Jesus' life, teachings, and sacrifice, on through to the writings of Luther and later commentators relate to our understanding of God's Kingdom. We also explore the concept of God's “Kingdom on the Right” and “Kingdom on the Left,” and discuss the subject of Christian vocation.
