HTML Version		A brief Course on Apologetics Sunday School series, Tabernacle Baptist Church, Ithaca, NY 14850, October 2002 - May 2003
	Apologetics deals with answering critics who oppose or question the revelation of God in Christ and the Bible. The purpose of this class is helping the Christian to "always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks them to give an account for the hope they have". It touches on the key issues of our Christian faith. Unfortunately the class had to be cut short, because I moved away from Ithaca to Potsdam, Germany. More detailed material can be found in the Book New Evidence that demands a verdict by Josh McDowell and on various web sites on apologetics such as http://www.behindthebadge.net/apologetics/,   www.carm.org, and   www.ApologeticsPress.org.
HTML Version		Boundaries in Marriage Sunday School series, Tabernacle Baptist Church, Ithaca, NY 14850, February 2000 - September 2002
	Boundaries are the personal property lines which define who we are, what we are responsible for, and where we have limits and limitations. Having clear boundaries is essential for a healthy, balanced lifestyle as well as for spiritual growth and for our ability to give and receive love. Yet many Christians lack boundaries because they fear being selfish, unloving, and unsubmissive. In this Sunday School Series, which is based on the books "Boundaries" and "Boundaries in Marriage" by Drs. Henry Cloud & John Townsend, we want to take a biblical view of boundaries and in particular of boundaries in marriage. We will study what boundaries are and why they are necessary for our Christian walk. We will then look at ways to solve common boundaries conflicts with ourselves, friends, our work, our family, our children, and our spouse. Afterwards we will focus on building proper boundaries and resolving conflicts in our marriage. Finally we will discuss how to avoid the misuse of boundaries and to develop healthy ones instead.
