Back to topTruth Project Schedule
FBC will be presenting Focus on the Family's Truth Project curriculum. The lessons, called Tours by Del Tacket, feature a video lesson and discussion. All of the teachers at FBC have trained since September in order to be prepared to lead the adult and student groups. Our desire is for everyone in the family to participate in this 15 week program. Each week we will provide you with thought provoking questions and Scriptures that reinforce the theme of that week's Tour. We hope that you will discuss these questions as a family, over dinner, or as part of a family devotional, and together seek to gaze on the face of God.
Wednesday Evenings
In our regular Wednesday evening small groups (7:00PM) we will be showing the Tours as part of the adult small groups (three locations) and the High School group. The younger students (pre-K through 8th grade) will be discussing the same material but at an age appropriate level.
Sunday Mornings
During Sunday school (9:45-10:45) each class will have time to discuss the Tour, the study questions and Scriptures, and optional devotional.
We, the teaching staff at FBC, are excited about offering this transformational series and hope your whole family will join us. Our one request is that you earnestly pray that the Lord may guide your decision to join us, and for the success of this series.
May the grace of God direct you.

Monthly Schedule
January
- 14-18 Introduction
- 21-25 Tour 1
- Veritology: What is Truth?
The Truth Project begins by defining truth as "that which corresponds to reality." This absolute and eternal truth, at the heart of Jesus' mission on earth, continues to be the focal point fo the Cosmic Battle in our own time.
- Philosophy and Ethics: Says Who?
Truth is not simply an academic concept. The way we think about truth has a direct bearing upon the way we live our lives. What's more, our understanding of right and wrong is directly dependent on our worldview: Is the universe God's creation or a closed cosmic cube?
February
- 4-8 Tour 3
- Anthropology: Who is Man?
The Bible tells us that man was created in God's image but fell from innocence through sin. Modern psychology, on the other hand, asserts that man is inherently good and behaves badly only under the influence of social or institutional pressure. This lesson explores the implications of both views.
- Theology: Who is God?
Eternal life, according to Jesus, is knowing God in an intimate, personal, and relational way. Such knowledge, which is possible only because of divine revelation, transforms us from the inside out as we begin to see ourselves in the light of His majesty and holiness.
- Science: What is True? Part 1
Science, the "systematic study of the natural world," brings to light innumberable evidences of Intelligent Design. But Darwinian theory transforms science from the honest investigation of nature into a vehicle for propagating a godless philosophy.
- Science: What is True? Part 2
A careful examination of molecular biology and the fossil record demonstrates that evolution is not a "proven fact." Meanwhile, history shows that ideas, including Darwinism as a social philosophy, have definite consequences - consequences that can trun ugly when God is left out of the picture.
March
- 4-8 Tour 6
- History: Whose Story?
Does the past have an objective actuality and significance? Or does it, as postmodernist philosophy asserts, exist primarily inside our heads? This tour considers the meaning of history as God's story and shows us why remembering is so important. - 11-15 Tour 7
- Sociology: The Divine Imprint
The order we observe in the natural realm is even more apparent in the social systems God has established: family, church, community, state, labor, and the union between God and man. Life is a series of relationships that flow out of and reflect the Trinitarian nature of the Creator. - 15-19 KISD Spring Break: no meetings
- 25-29 Tour 8
- Unio Mystica: Am I Alone?
Is it possible for the infinite, eternal Creator to dwell within the heart of an individual? The implications of this great mystery, which represents the very core of the Christian faith, are explored at length in this examination of the most intimate of the social spheres.
April
- 1-5 Tour 9
- The State: Whose Law?
Of all the social spheres, the state, to which God grants the power of the sword for the punishment of evil and the preservation of the good, has the greatest potential to go awry if it oversteps its authority. The civil magistrate must always remember his place under the sovereignty of God - otherwise, havoc will ensue. - 8-12 Easter: no meetings
- 15-19 Tour 10
- The American Experiment: Stepping Stones
America is unique in the history of the world. On these shores a people holding to a biblical worldview have had an opportunity to set up a system of government designed to keep the state within its divinely ordained boundaries. Tour #10 follows the history of this experiment and explores what happens to freedom when God is forgotten. - 22-26 Tour 11
- Labor: Created to Create
Contrary to a great deal of contemporary popular opinion, work is not a "curse." God Himself is active and creative, and He calls man to share in the joy of His activity and creativity. Labor, economics, media, and the creative arts all have a role to play in magnifying the glory of the Creator. - 29-3 Tour 12
- Community and Involvement: God Cares, do I?
The ethical law and the meaning of the Christian life are summed up in the commandment to love God and one's neighbor. This command is the source of the believer's motivation for self-sacrificial service to the needy and their personal involvement in our culture.
