Thanksgiving Day is a great time to guide your loved ones in a meaningful time of worship, gratitude, and gospel reflection. Drawing from Psalm 100, this outline offers a simple, intentional model to help you create a God-honoring, memory-building moment around your table that points hearts to Christ.

A biblical exploration of true vs. false belief from Ephesians 5:5–7. Learn why repentance, humility, and obedience reveal authentic saving faith—and why mere profession isn’t enough.

The Christian life is not shaped merely by information, but by transformation. God has not called us to know about Him only, but to truly know Him—to behold His glory, submit to His Word, and be changed from the inside out.

Christ didn’t just teach or inspire—He acted on our behalf. This study unpacks the depth of our need and the fullness of His saving work, showing how His death and resurrection transform everything. A clear and hope-filled look at the heart of the gospel.

Pride is often celebrated in our culture—even in the halls of government. But Scripture speaks clearly: followers of Christ are to hate pride and pursue humility. As Charles Bridges wrote, “On no point is the mind of God more fully declared than against pride.”

In this study, we examine how pride subtly manifests in our thoughts, speech, and leadership—and how the apostle Paul models a life shaped by the cross rather than self-promotion (Galatians 2:20).

Whether in public service, ministry, or daily life, pride is a relentless enemy of godliness. Yet God gives grace to the humble.

Learn:
• Six characteristics of prideful people
• The consequences of unchecked pride
• Biblical practices that cultivate true humility“

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.” — James 4:10

In this study, Ralph Drollinger examines Scripture to show that private ownership is not merely an economic principle, but a reflection of being made in the image of God. From Genesis to Leviticus, the Bible affirms personal stewardship, responsibility, and accountability—foundations that lead to liberty and national fruitfulness.

Join Ralph as he explores what God’s Word teaches about property, stewardship, and the role of government.

In this final study of the three-part series, Ralph Drollinger examines the last three epochs of American Church history—the rise of Fundamentalism, the birth of Neo-Evangelicalism, and the emergence of the Religious Right.

Each movement sought to address the cultural decline of its time, but each also missed the biblical simplicity of Luke 3: that true societal transformation flows from evangelism and personal conversion, not social reform alone.

Through this analysis, Drollinger challenges today’s Church to rediscover its primary calling—to make disciples and proclaim the Gospel—so that the next epoch of American Church history might be marked by clarity, conviction, and spiritual renewal.

In Part 2 of this three-part series, Ralph Drollinger continues examining the five epochs of American Church history in light of evangelism and discipleship—the Church’s primary calling.This study explores the first two epochs:

1776 – The Puritan Pulpit Shapes American Culture; and
1877 – The Encroachment of Theological Liberalism

Discover how Postmillennialism shaped early American evangelistic fervor, how the Social Gospel emerged through Theological Modernism, and why these movements continue to influence the Church’s engagement with culture and politics today.

The Church is the pillar and support of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15), called to evangelize and make disciples as a preserving and illuminating force in a fallen world (Matthew 5:13–14).

Yet throughout major epochs of American Church history, her efforts to engage culture have been marked by clumsy mistakes.

For nearly 50 years, much of the American Church’s focus in Washington, D.C. has been on changing laws. While biblical laws are worthy objectives, Luke 3 shows us an even more excellent way: evangelism and repentance as God’s ordained means to bring cultural change.

In this first study of a three-part series, Ralph Drollinger explores:

• Why heart change must precede lasting societal change
• John the Baptist’s call to repentance in Luke 3:3–14
• How evangelism transforms individuals, institutions, and nations
• The repeated missteps of the American Church in neglecting evangelism

Join us as we trace how the American Church has bungled her calling, and why the path forward begins with prioritizing evangelism.

This in-depth Bible study explores why both libertarianism and communism fall short of God’s design for government. Drawing from Romans 13, 1 Samuel 12, and other passages, we see a biblical framework for civil society.
