We should be able to find joy in knowing that we are striving to honor our Father through sound teaching. Clinging to the truth of the Gospel and doing good out of our love for Him. And never being afraid to call out that which is ungodly. Because...we know our God!

In Paul's Epistle to Titus, there are many parallels in the requirements of an elder that are expressed to Timothy. This helps support the consistency that Paul expects in the leadership of the church. But in this passage we see something very interesting. Paul calls the elders to be "God's Steward." This study helps us understand the important role an elder/pastor has for a local congregation.

The introduction of Paul's Epistle to Titus reveals some really interesting theological truths. The truths about how we are saved are all manifested in God's perfect timing. When things are not always going our way, we must be reminded that all things are happening in God's perfect timing.

The letter that Paul writes to Titus begins with Paul saying that he is a slave of Jesus Christ. This seems like a strange way to introduce yourself. Join us to see what Paul really means. People are all a slave to something; to sin or to God. And the rewards are vastly different!

My God is so big that He stretched the expanse of the universe and hung the stars, yet He still loves me. He loves me so much that He shared His name with me. He is the restorer of my soul, made me wise to His ways, He has given me a reason to rejoice, enlightened me and has shown me how much He loves me by making me HIS righteousness. We worship a Good Good God!

On Christmas Eve we are meeting to celebrate the Lord's Day. On this Sunday we discuss that God's love for us is not just a feeling, it is an action. Therefore, the love that we have for each other should be active! I am hoping this message finds you well, filled with the peace and joy of Christ Jesus, and having a Very Merry Christmas!

The third week of Advent tradition is to pray for Joy! This study examines Romans 15:13 and Paul's prayer for joy in the midst of understanding self-denial. Join us as we examine what joy really is and how we can receive this gift from God.

Millions across the world will begin celebrating Advent today. The first day of the Christmas season. As we all prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we can be reminded that God also prepared for our salvation. We know from Ephesians 1 that Jesus Christ was the plan for being reconciled from before the foundation of the world. But where do we see God's plan for salvation revealed in scripture first? Join us today as we look at the Protoevangelium from Genesis 3:15, and see the Lord's plan come to life in the Scriptures.

In this final lesson on the Trinity, we will discuss how the Trinity plays an essential role in the redemptive process. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your redeemer, if you believe that you are saved, you believe in a Triune God. Each person of the Trinity having a specific role in the salvation of man, for the glory of God!

Last week we examined the Biblical evidence for the Trinity. We worship one God in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This lesson explores Trinitarian analogies, Trinitarian heresies, and why it is important to be Trinitarian. Join us as we dive into the essential doctrine of the Trinity!
