Better Together, Part 1
So many options as to how to spend our time on a Sunday morning. Yes, we should go to church. That’s what many of us have heard over and over again. But do we have a strong handle on the “why” of church participation? We’ll explore that question in this study.
God's Barbeque
It is one of the unifying conditions amongst us all in this hyper-speed world. Burnout. Yes, our stressors may not be the same as Elijah’s on Mt. Carmel, but they are still very real. What can we learn about renewal and provision from the exhausted prophet under a broom tree? We’ll look at this question in our study.
Food for Thought
“I love tests!” said no one ever. Tests can be stressful, but as we’ll see in our study today, they can also be pivotal points in our faith journey.
One Joyful People—Unity, Part 2
Unity shines out in a divided community. This is true. But is the horizontal the only plane on which unity is important? An important question is asked in this study.
One Joyful People—Unity, Part 1
It makes sense that a unified church will make an impact on those looking in from the outside. The theoretical power of unity is easy to see. The practical application of this idea though, that’s a completely different story. After being told to be unified, we need to look for the power to do so, and we’ll do that in this study.
One Joyful People—Health Check
Sometimes, you just get tired of people telling you to “be happy.” Often times, not matter how hard you try, joy can seem so elusive. So, when the Bible tells us to be joyful, what’s the formula that makes that possible? We’ll look at this question today.
How To Follow God, Part 2
“I work hard!” Fantastic! Have you ever stopped long enough to ask if your schedule is perhaps a bit too important to you? Another honest look inward in this study.
How To Follow God, Part 1
We love a good hero story—just at the right time a sacrificial act saves the day. The problem is, even our greatest heroes can also have really bad days. Our study today reminds us that even our greatest heroes need to be looked at honestly, so that we remember the ultimate source of good in our lives.
The Non-Theoretical Word, Part 2
If a carpenter knows all the best practices for construction, but never actually builds anything, is he still a carpenter? If we possess all kinds of knowledge about being a Christian, but there is no change in our lives, what does that say about the reality of our faith? We’ll pursue the practical application of God's Word in today's study.
The Non-Theoretical Word, Part 1
What does it mean to be a Christian? What does it NOT mean to be a Christian? Ever asked yourself these basic questions? We’ll head that direction in our study today.
