Why We Exist
What if every church in America closed their doors tomorrow? What toll would that take on our country? How would society then define morality, truth, and ethics? Stephen reminds us that just as a lighthouse is a beacon for lost sailors, a local church is a beacon for lost citizens.
Setting Aside Superstition
"The popular view about fireflies was that they were the souls of deceased, unbaptized infants. Many thought ghosts manipulated human lives." Folks have many thoughts about the supernatural. Listen to Dr. Davey address this in our study today.

Why We Matter to Each Other
If God wanted Christians to be isolated, He wouldn't have wired us for relationships. In fact, our need for relationship is part of how we are made in the image of God. So how does that relate to corporate worship? What is our God given responsibility to each other in the local church? Stephen tells us as he continues his series, “Upon This Rock".
Ladies and Gentlemen
How are we to live in a world full of disappointments fraught with unmet expectations, including relationships, things and accomplishments? Dr. Stephen Davey shares two items in today's study to help us do more than survive.
