– While we know that we should preach the Word because God commanded it, the Holy Spirit gives us more, giving us reasons for why God has commanded it.  As we work from points made by the late Bro. Tom Holland in his book on “Sermon Design and Delivery,” we will see five reasons that … Continue reading Why Preach the Word – 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 (8/15/21 p.m. sermon)

– In response to false teachers in Antioch, Paul and Barnabas traveled to Jerusalem to discuss the matter of keeping the Law of Moses with the apostles and elders there.  This meeting took place between representatives of two congregations, and a decision was made that confirmed what was already being taught.  In this lesson, we … Continue reading Acts 15:5-19 (8/11/21 Bible Class)

– As we continue learning about evangelism from Jesus himself, we shift our focus to his encounter with the “rich young ruler” in Matthew 19:16ff.  This young man was “pretty good” but still lacked something in his desire for eternal life.  Through Jesus interaction with him, we can learn much of how we can evangelize … Continue reading Jesus and the Really Good (8/8/21 Bible Class)

– A continuation of our study on how Christ’s example can teach us about evangelism.– Teacher: Matt Burleson

– While it is easy to look around and lament the wickedness in the world (and sometimes, even in the church), we must recognize that we cannot control the world. We can only control our own attitude and actions, and so it is imperative that we remember those things that will help us to stay … Continue reading As For You… – 2 Timothy 3:10-17 (8/8/21 p.m. sermon)

– The Parable of the Sower is familiar, and we usually apply it in the same way.  We usually think of the lost when we read this parable.  In this lesson, however, we are going to make it more personal, and apply it to our own hearing and understanding of the Word of God.– Speaker: … Continue reading How’s Your Soil? – Matthew 13:3-9 (8/8/21 a.m. sermon)

– Though this study doesn’t cover very many verses, it was still a blessing to gather together with God’s people and study Scripture.  In this lesson we study those Judaizing teachers who attempted to force Gentiles to keep the Law of Moses in order to be saved. Then, we begin to think about some in … Continue reading Acts 15:1-5 (7/28/21 Bible Class)

– Paul warns Timothy of certain challenges to be faced by Christians in the last days. Understanding that the “last days” refer to the entire Messianic age, these were challenges which were already being faced by Christians in Paul’s day.  These challenges involved not only wickedness and opposition of those outside the church, but from … Continue reading Times of Difficulty – 2 Timothy 3:1-9 (7/25/21 p.m. sermon)

– Our study this morning from John 4 focuses on several examples Jesus gives us in his conversation with the Samaritan woman.  From using the seemingly mundane to teach spiritual truth, to breaking down social and racial barriers to evangelize, there is much we can learn from our Savior in this chapter.– Teacher: Matt Burleson

– Everyone who bears the name of Christ has been given the commission to preach the gospel.  There are examples in Scripture that we can read, and applications that we can make to our evangelistic efforts, which we will consider together in this lesson.– Speaker: Justin P. Sivley
