The Way of Heart Transformation
Traditional Teaching or Biblical Teaching? Part 2
You may have heard the rhyme, “Here’s the church, here’s the steeple….” Have you ever thought about the role of a building as a part of a dynamic gospel church? We’ll look into the influence a building can have in this study
Traditional Teaching or Biblical Teaching? Part 1
How important is tradition in authentic Christianity? “That’s how we’ve always done it.” Does that statement carry weight? We’ll explore the value of tradition in this study.
Worship in Vain, Part 2
Do church attendance numbers matter? Is the success of a church related to how many people show up? Or is showing up important for other reasons? We’ll look at the essence of worship in this study.
Worship in Vain, Part 1
What’s the core of your worship? Given that core, is someone else’s preference of worship better or worse? Does it matter? We’ll explore the foundation of worship in this study.
Pharisees Then and Now, Part 2
We’re in the middle of defining what it means to be a Pharisee. At the same time, we’re learning about what it means to be an authentic Christian. Our study explores human tendencies both in and out of the church.
Pharisees Then and Now, Part 1
Pharisees, those are the bad guys, right? Easy to spot, easy to boo at. But is it possible there are some in our church? Might there be one who shows up every now and then in our mirror? We’re going Pharisee hunting in this study.
A Better Future: How to Love Each Other, Part 2
While it's not always easy, loving those within the church certainly makes sense and is a worthy goal. In our study today, we're being reminded that loving those outside the church is also on our agenda.
A Better Future: How to Love Each Other, Part 1
"Love one another." No problem, let's jump in and get that done. Or, if we're even the least bit honest, we will confess that love is hard to do. We'll look at the Biblical support for the how and why of love in this study.
A Better Future: Stick with the Church, Part 2
"That's not the kind of worship I like." Can you make that statement honestly if you really understand the purpose of worship? We'll try to untangle this quandary in our study today.
A Better Future: Stick with the Church, Part 1
Perhaps you know someone who will quickly "jump ship" should a challenge show up. Relationships get bumpy, and away they go. Pursuit of a career bogs down, and off they go in a different direction. What happens when that mindset shows up in the church? We'll explore that question today.
