Tonight we were pleased to have Roy Knight for St. George, SC to continue our studies in the Sermon on the Mount. This week we enter into the section where Jesus gives a more perfect understanding of his will for his disciples, using the formula “You have heard that it was said…but I say to you.”  In this week’s lesson we consider what Jesus says about anger, and how to keep it from overcoming us.

Speaker: Roy Knight

Note: We apologize that there was no recording for the 6/19 study.  We will try to get a recording of each week’s lesson, but we cannot guarantee that it will happen every week.  In any case, we hope you are blessed by the lessons we are able to provide.

When Babylon falls, it will be felt.  In Revelation 18, those who had benefited from Babylon lament her destruction, but do not come to her aid.  God’s judgement is certain, and as the scene changes, the heavens rejoice in Babylon’s fall.

Teacher: Justin P. Sivley

Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son is well known, and the father in that story can be an example to us.  He reflects our Father in heaven, but also the kind of people that we should be, especially if we are fathers or any kind of leader.

Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

Though David was not able to build the temple, he was able to make preparations to help Solomon when it came time for him to build God’s house.

Teacher: Matt Burleson

Due to our Summer Series taking place on Wednesdays, we have moved our weekly studies in Revelation to our Sunday afternoon meeting.  This will be our pattern through most weeks through the duration of the Summer months.  This week we continue our previous discussions on Babylon, and ultimately of God’s judgement against her because of her many sins.

Teacher: Justin P. Sivley

Jesus is called the Master Teacher for a reason. His use of easily understandable illustration to teach deep spiritual truths.  Such is the case in Luke 11 when he uses the picture of a father caring for his children to encourage his disciples to trust our Heavenly Father and be willing to come to him in prayer.

Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

David’s decision to take a census of Israel was a matter of pride.  Rather than trust in God, he was looking to trust in the number of soldiers in his army.  Displeasing God, he was made to choose a punishment for Israel, but was also shown mercy when he acknowledged his guilt.

Teacher: Matt Burleson

Our series on the Sermon on the Mount continued on Wednesday night with Scott Taylor from Duncan, SC bringing us a lesson about being Salt and Light in accordance with the word of Jesus.

Speaker: Scott Taylor

One last thought from Galatians, as Paul speaks about bearing the marks of Jesus in his body.  He is probably thinking about physical marks that he bore because of persecution, but by and large it is his way of identifying himself as belonging to Jesus.  Likewise, there should be “marks” in our lives that show others that we belong to Jesus.

Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

At 12 years old, Jesus was found in the temple sitting among the teachers and discussing the things of the Father.  As our example he shows us how to be “about our Father’s business” or “in the things of our Father,” by being where He wants us to be, thinking about what He wants us to, and doing what He wants us to do.
