Sorry but there is no recording of this talk.

Growing through the Stages of Life to Retirement It is common understanding that human development goes through the four stages of infancy, childhood, adolescence, and finally adulthood. But even adulthood has its variations in young adult, mid-life, and retirement age.

In our class, we will try to understand what these different life-stages mean and the challenges that come with them. The talk will approach the topic from both psycho-social
development and biblical perspectives. We will cap off the talk with what it means to finish well in the Christian life.

Have you ever asked these questions or are troubled by similar questions?

• ls it wrong to have doubts about God or my faith?
• ls it wrong to ask for more evidence and more assurances?
• Is the Christian faith based on reason, evidence or spiritual experiences?

The classes will look at Biblical examples of people who had doubts and help us learn

• that doubt is not the same as unbelief;
• how we can deal with doubts: and

that assurance of salvation lies in the strength of our God, not in the strength of our faith.
