The dark days of Ahab and Jezebel demonstrated how far Israel had fallen into wickedness. Unsurprisingly, the righteous prophet Elijah felt alone in his desire to serve God. However, God informed him that there were 7,000 who had not bowed the knee to Baal. This ancient account is very helpful for modern readers witnessing a further plunge into darkness. It shows that those who take God seriously can be a part of the faithful remnant. After comparing ancient and modern times, we will learn how the people of God can keep faith intact, though in the minority.

If you have lived long enough, you have made mistakes, meaning you might regret or dwell on something you have done. Many of us have made anywhere from minor to significant errors. Some of us have forgotten and left behind those failures, though some cannot escape those mistakes. As summer approaches, we want to start afresh and leave our missteps behind. In this lesson we will explore how “Putting the Past Behind Me” is essential for us to move forward with strength and purpose by letting go of unnecessary burdens. By doing this, we can more effectively imitate and push onward to Christ while leading others to Him.

Graduation is in the air! Seniors have long since tired of their high school studies and have their focus set on receiving their diplomas. This will take place in a ceremony to honor the graduates, typically with a keynote speaker to offer encouragement. What is Qohelet was the speaker. The first question many might ask is, “Who is Qohelet? Typically translated as “the preacher” in the book of Ecclesiastes, he offers great insight into life. While this will specifically apply to our near graduates, his message is important no matter our stage of life.

For the fifth week of our Spring Series we welcomed guest preacher Kevin Clark.

As early Christians carried their faith into all parts of the world, they came across some intriguing figures. One of these was a Samaritan sorcerer by the name of Simon. As Philip shared the good news, the people of Samaria, including this magician, believed and were baptized. However, Simon had to learn that salvation entails not only baptism but also putting away those attitudes and actions that characterized the old man of sin. This study will contrast the two men as well as emphasize what Jesus has to offer and the seriousness with which it should be accepted.

For the fourth week of our Spring Series we welcomed guest preacher Kenny Moorer.

The fellowship shared between people of faith and their God is a never-ending source of peace and comfort. Also, the fellowship shared between fellow believers provides a fortress of support for those whose lives are dedicated to heavenly things.
