Understanding the Old Testament
Have you ever received a package, opened it, and thought, “Wait, I didn’t order this. What even IS this?” Sometimes we feel like this reading the Bible. We struggle to see how certain passages have anything to do with us, as if parts of Scripture have surely arrived at our address by mistake. This sense of confusion is especially acute when we read the Old Testament. To better understand the Bible and make sense of the Old Testament, join our…

Resolving Conflict
Do you know anyone who actually enjoys conflict? (And no, don’t look at your spouse and say, “Hey, they’re talking about you!”) The truth is, most of us tend to avoid conflict — especially here in China, where keeping harmony is so highly valued. But learning how to handle conflict in a healthy, biblical way is essential for building strong, Christ-centered relationships. That’s why the Discipleship Team is hosting a special training on conflict resolution for Small Group Leaders. Whether…

Understanding the New Testament
Have you ever received a package, opened it, and thought, “Wait, I didn’t order this. What even IS this?” Sometimes we have a similar feeling while reading the Bible. We struggle to see how certain passages have anything to do with us, as if parts of Scripture have surely arrived at our address by mistake.

Mary loved attending her international church in Beijing every week and cherished her church family.

Thankfully, she attended the class “What is the Church?” and learned what truly matters when choosing a place of worship.

Singleness
Have you ever received a gift you didn’t want but had to use? Maybe a tacky Christmas sweater to wear in those yearly family pictures, or an ugly mug from your boss that has to stay on your desk at work? Singleness is a gift that many consider far worse than a tacky sweater or ugly mug. For many, it’s impossible to see its beauty, use, or how the God who gives it could possibly understand them if THAT’s what…

Evangelism in the Workplace
John has been a believer most of his life. A few years ago, he moved from Beijing to Chicago for work. His colleagues love him – he’s known for his strong work ethic and friendly personality. One Sunday at church, John sees his colleage Martin in the new-comer’s corner. When John goes up to say hello, Martin looks shocked. He explains he never knew John was a Christian, since John never mentions his faith at work. John feels a bit…

Dating to Marriage
Jean dated in high school and university, but after becoming a believer and experiencing Christ’s transformation in her life, she began to ask herself new questions: What does it look like to date as a Christian? Is it different from dating in the world? What questions should I ask? What should I pay attention to? Can dating be casual, or should it be “under pastoral supervision”? Thankfully, Jean had a church community that walked with her through these questions. City…
