G-T Life 
We can all have a God-Transformed Life!  This will be a continual process that will include 4 major areas of Life at FBCGunter.  The 4 areas are: Discover; Develop; Equip, Connect.

 The Six Days of Creation: March 30
The book of Genesis says God created the universe in six "days". Are these literal 24-hour days or long periods of time? And does it really matter one way or the other? This class discusses various interpretations of the Creation timeline and why this is relevant in today's society.

 The Theory of Evolution, Part 1: April 6
The Theory of Evolution is taught in most public schools across America. What exactly is evolution, and how should Christians view it? Are evolution and the biblical account of Creation compatible, or are they mutually exclusive? This class is the first in a two-part series and provides an overview on evolution, what it teaches, and why Christians need to know about it.

 The Theory of Evolution, Part 2: April 13
This class is the second in a two-part series on evolution and focuses on the feasibility of evolution at the molecular level. An overview of the amazing world of genetics offers the opportunity to discuss whether evolution can explain the existence of the basic building blocks of life, DNA.

 Noah's Flood: Fact or Fiction?: April 20
Was Noah's Flood a literal historical event? If so, is there any geological evidence to support it? Was the Flood global or local? How could so many animals fit on the ark? Where did all the water come from? This class provides the answers to these questions and more!

 Can You Lose Your Salvation?: April 27
Many Christians and non-Christians alike may wonder about the permanence of salvation. Does the Bible teach "once saved always saved", or is it possible to lose your salvation be exercising your freewill to reject it? This class focuses on what the Bible has to say about salvation and whether it's possible to lose it.

 Why Won't They Listen?: May 4
Do you think people today are more or less receptive to the Gospel than they were a few decades ago? What has changed? Why is today's culture so hostile to the message of Christ? This class offers an intriguing explanation regarding the ineffectiveness of many of today's well-intentioned efforts at evangelism and how to change your approach.
