Abortion has again become a national discussion. First, let’s make sure we have those discussions in the spirit of Christ! In tonight’s lesson, let’s revisit what the Bible says about the unborn, and try to apply the Bible’s implications to the questions people ask today…
We are studying the Patriarchal Age, part of our year-long trip through the major events of the Bible. This morning we study what happened in the Garden of Eden, where we learn so much about God’s relationship with mankind. What happened, how did it affect the world, and what can we do about it?
People often choose their own versions of Jesus to follow, and sometimes we do the same. Are we willing to see who the real Jesus is? And even further, are we willing to follow Him?
This morning we begin a 2-month study of the Patriarchal Age, part of a 2019 trip through the major storyline of Scripture.

King David gives us a great example of how we can react to sin. Let’s not make some of the same mistakes he did.

Let’s explore 3 things that make it difficult to love our neighbors, and how we can overcome them to live out this essential part of our faith…
Christianity has always been known for helping the poor, but sometimes Christians or churches get frustrated at the complexities of what truly helps. We may not have all the answers, but let’s look around the Bible, reminding ourselves of how God wants us to feel toward those who are in need…
