The Resurrection and the Life
The Good Shepherd
Perhaps your default perception of God lives in the "Ruler" category. And rightly so. But do we sometimes miss out on the compassionate care that our God has for us? We'll look at that attribute in our study today.
The Door
You've likely heard the talk about "the good old days" when no one worried about locking their doors. Such a sense of security feels further away on a daily basis. But our passage today introduces a solution to the need for a sense of safety.
The Light of the World
Hindsight is 20/20. From our modern perspective, some of the ideas about Jesus during his day are hard to fathom. How could they miss it? But is it possible that parallels to this blindness are all around us today? Our study looks directly at this question.
The Bread of Life
There are a lot of reasons folks find to celebrate during the Christmas season. Believers know that the incarnation is at the heart of the celebration. But is there even more that we can lean into to fuel this celebration? We'll go for further understanding of the roots of the season in this study.
Love, Sex, and God, Part 2
The Bible is the textbook of theology. Yes. But... the Bible also speaks to the single person who has desires, or the married person who has desires. Very practical discussions included in this study from the book of Hosea.
Love, Sex, and God, Part 1
If you grew up with the "flannel-graph in Sunday School" generation, it's likely that the story of Hosea didn't make the rotation. Nevertheless, there are lessons to be learned, and we'll go in pursuit in this study.
Money, Profit, and Generosity, Part 2
Maybe you've heard the challenge to "preach the gospel, and use words only as a last resort?" What is the gospel impact of our personal finances? What do we tell the world around us with our wallet? This topic in the focus today.
Money, Profit, and Generosity, Part 1
Stereotypic impressions of the church from the outside? "They want money." What's the flipside of this negative take? What is a cheerful giver? We'll explore this topic today.
Racism and the Gospel
If there’s a grizzly bear in your house, you’ll know it. But we have to install detectors to tell us about invisible things like radon gas. So, what are the lurking but invisible threats that are around us and possibly in us every day? We’ll explore that question in this study.
How to Live As a Christian in a Pagan Empire, Part 2
Here’s a paradigm shift—when you’re being persecuted, what would it take to love the one persecuting you? We have a powerful example of this in our study today, as we continue to look at the book of Daniel.
