What are some key ideas new Christians may like to know?  Our study explores some basic Biblical principles.  In this lesson we begin considering church leadership.

Eli the priest knew his sons were up to no good.  It must have been hard for this dad to hear all the things people were saying about his boys.  But how would he handle the situation?  He faced a pitfall which many parents face today as we try to raise responsible adults.  We can learn from Eli's mistakes and avoid a major pitfall.

Why did Jesus have to die?  If God is so loving and all powerful why was it necessary for His Son to die?  Jesus died because there had to be a death as consequence for sin each one of us has made.  We must be "in Him" in order to do away with our body of sin.

Jesus tells His disciples a parable of a dishonest manager.  But the owner of the estate in Jesus' story seems to praise the manager by calling him shrewd.  Jesus then seems to tell His disciples that they should be shrewd like the manager.  How can this be?  What lessons can we learn from this story?

The adult Bible class series for young or new Christian continues the discussion of worship.  This morning we consider why we sing and the purpose of singing in a worship assembly.

Sunday AM Sermon 2016-01-31

Is it possible to sin so that God will not forgive you?  Sometimes we feel so guilty for our sin that we have a hard time forgiving ourselves.  So when John writes that there is a sin that leads to death, (1 John 5:16-17), what does he mean?  Is it possible to sin so deeply that God will not hear the prayer for forgiveness?  Let's explore this together.

We continue our study of worship with a focus on 1 Corinthians 14.

Our Bible class continues with a study of worship centered on Psalm 95.

Jesus confronted religion.  He confronted the selfish religion of the scribes and Pharisees of His day.  They had cold hearts.  They were seemingly unconcerned for the lost.  They were self-righteous.  They placed themselves in place of God.  We need to be careful to avoid temptations to fall in the similar traps today.

The New Christians Bible Class is a study of basic principles of Christianity.  The study reviews principles of worship, Christian service, and foundation teachings.  For those who have been Christians for a longer period of time, the study is a reminder of these principles.  The class is held at 9:30 prior to worship.
