Last Sunday night we began our annual fall Sunday night study of a Bible life, and this year we are walking through the life of the apostle Paul. Tonight we see Saul’s life change forever, in a way that surprised him and everyone else. How did Christ turn around someone who hated Christians so much, and what do we learn from the amazing events of Acts chapter 9?
We are studying 2 Corinthians on our Sunday mornings this fall, a series we are calling “Transformation Through Trials.” This morning, we come across a sin issue in the Corinthian church that the church had handled the right way, and now Paul says they have 1 more step to make everything right. What happened in Corinth, and what does it teach us about the delicate – but important – matter of handling sin in the church?
Tonight we begin a Sunday night study through the life of Paul. Paul’s life of commitment and passion for Christ inspires us, and God worked through him to help change the world, through his zeal for evangelism and writing many books of our New Testament. But Paul himself started at a very different place. Let’s explore the life of Saul before he became a Christian…
This morning we begin a Sunday morning study of 2 Corinthians, one of Paul’s most personal letters, and one that teaches us so much about the Christian perspective on trials, ministry, and eternity. Paul begins immediately in chapter 1 talking about God’s comfort – what does he want us to see?
Marriage brings both blessings and challenges, and sometimes we struggle to keep God’s perspective on it. This morning’s lesson is an overview of a great question: What Does God Expect of Me in My Marriage?
Different places in life bring different spiritual opportunities and challenges. While we all want our life to be filled with “the good times,” sadly, that’s often when our faith falters. What does God want us to know about living faithfully when things are good?
Tonight we complete our “Adventures in Bible Reading” studies with a series of events in the life of Jeremiah. It involves King Jehoiakim, the son of King Josiah, and it’s interesting (and sad) to notice how different the father and son were in their attitudes toward God’s word. What can we learn from it?
This morning we continue our “Adventures in Bible Reading” series with King Josiah and one of the great revivals in Scripture. How did they go so quickly from such a bad spiritual place to such a great one? It all began with rediscovering the word of God – how did that happen, and how can we do the same?
Tonight we continue our “Adventures in Bible Reading” series, going back to a time of rebuilding in Jerusalem, about 445 B.C. After seeing God’s blessing in helping them rebuild the wall, the people call together an assembly to hear the word of God, and their attitude toward God’s word is one we need in our lives too…
We are transformed by “renewing our mind” (Romans 12:2), and the path to renewing our mind requires a lot of time with the word of God. This morning we begin a 4-lesson series entitled “Adventures in Bible Reading,” encouraging us to spend more time with God’s word as we explore times in Scripture when “Bible-reading” made something happen. This morning, we begin in Acts chapter 8, where a nobleman found salvation in an unlikely place…
