Workshops

Christian Perspectives on Homosexuality Session 2 only
Pastor Eddie Sun, EFC Los Angeles
This workshop is a summary of different Christian perspectives on the issue of homosexuality. We will be discussing these positions in their understanding and interpretations of what the Bible says on this subject. We will also be discussing the different positions regarding Proposition 8 [VoterGuide, Wikipedia, Ballotpedia], and the legal ramifications for us as a church and as a denomination.

Genesis Session 1 only
Pastor James Yu, EFC Irvine
Genesis One – is a provocative view on the first chapter of the Bible, challenging the traditional interpretation using Historical – Theological approach. Perhaps the most contested chapter in all of scripture, some of the question this session will address the relationship between the Word of God and modern day science. Why are we forced to take the position of one or the other? Or is there a healthy harmony between the two? What is a consistent reading of Genesis One despite our understanding of evolutionary science?

Romancing the Stone Session 2 only
Pastor James Yu, EFC Irvine
Romancing the Stone – is an observation and critique on relationship in the 21st century. In a world filled with moral ambiguity what is a Christian’s perspective on dating and sexuality? How has the media and post-modernity transform the way we think of romance and love? What does the Bible say in regards to our sexual identity as a believer?

Free Will/Predestination Sessions 1 and 2
Pastor Andy Kuo, EFC Arcadia
A common question is how free will and predestination work together in God's world. How does one reconcile the doctrine of election and the doctrine of salvation by grace? This major controversy among Christians will be discussed, as well as a brief introduction to the major beliefs of Calvinism and Arminianism. The purpose of this workshop is to present these opposing views, and participants are encouraged to come to conclusions on their own.
