Few issues are as destructive to our relationships as the issue of addiction. Thankfully, the Scriptures are far from silent on this issue. We’ll take a look at the deeper issue of addictions and the deeper healing which is needed.

1) The Invitation to Life
2) The Invitation to Death

Text: Proverbs 9

We can learn a lot about the character of someone by looking at what they require. What if a business had expectations of employees that work not be done on Sundays and instead quality time be spent with family? Those expectations tell us something about who they are. So it is with the 613 laws that make up a large swath of the Old Testament. They tell us something about God.

The law...
1) Reveals what God is like
2) Shows us who to be
3) Anticipates the One who does it all

Text: Exodus 19-20

Hope. We all crave it. We all search for it. But everything we set our eyes on is corrupted by sin and incapable of giving us hope. So where is it to be found? We'll see how a couple dealing with infertility was given hope beyond their wildest dreams.

God’s Rescue Plan for Humanity... A Gospel Explosion:
1) Why We Need It
2) Who Lights the Fuse
3) How to Respond to It

Text: Genesis 12:1-3

It can be tempting to turn the proverbial “lights” down and try to ignore certain issues in our lives. However, when we ignore large and dangerous struggles, we set ourselves up for serious relational and spiritual messes. One of those large issues we can be tempted to leave unattended is our anger. We will shine the light on the seriousness of anger and how the Scriptures would counsel us to deal with it.

1) Seeing Our Reasons for Anger in Light of God’s
2) Seeing Our Responses of Anger in Light of God’s

Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2

The "greener grass conspiracy" is a powerful force in our lives. It whispers in our ears, "If only you had that, then you'd be happy." Sadly, this isn't some benign phenomenon. It's a tactic straight from the devil's playbook. Let's get wise to it.

1) Sin’s Runway
2) Sin’s Takeoff
3) Sin’s Landing

Text: Genesis 3

"Once there was only God." Think about that for a moment: once there was only God and absolutely nothing else. Difficult to imagine, isn't it? But The Story begins there and we won't understand it unless we start by pondering the all-powerful, self-existent, owner of all things, God.

1) The Eternality of God
2) The Power of God
3) The Ownership of God
4) The Goodness of God

Text: Genesis 1

If someone asked you what the storyline of the Bible is, how would you respond? What passages of Scripture would you use? Is there actually a specific plot? We will take a journey through the pages of Scripture to discover the central theme!

1) Premise
2) Storyline
3) 3 Implications

Text: Selected Scriptures

Contentment can be elusive. We get duped into thinking it can be found in career, romance, money, approval or a hundred other different ways. But experience says finding contentment in those areas of life will leave us empty. This is what makes Jesus' invitation to you so astonishing. Join us as we look at the greatest invitation ever given.

1) Who Qualifies for It
2) What It Entails
3) How to Obtain It

Text: Matthew 11:28-30

False teaching is prevalent in our society today. Yet this isn't something new, as it has been around since the fall in the garden of Eden. What is the church supposed to do? How is she to live as she waits for the return of Christ? We will take a look at the letter of Jude, who points us to our only hope!

1. Contend for the Faith
2. Continue in the Faith
3. Christ Keeps Us in the Faith

Text: Jude

With the Lord continuing to bless ABC with growth and a vision to start another church, we're going to need an army of people willing to lead and serve. We'll consider five traits of a helpful ministry partner from the shortest book of the Bible: 3 John.

1) Committed to prayer
2) Walking in truth
3) Selfless
4) Taming the tongue
5) Investing in Christian enterprises
