Having parents who teach their children God’s precepts is a tremendous blessing.  And it is good for children to take those lessons, even as they grow older, and let them lead us and guide us throughout life. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

As we conclude our studies on the Holy Spirit, this lesson focuses once again on the emotional feelings that many ascribe to the Holy Spirit. Though emotions are not bad (and at times even should be felt), we must be careful not to over-emphasize emotion in our worship of the Lord. Teacher: Matt Burleson

Embarking on a new Bible class this evening, we will continue to consider some practical application concerning the Word of God.  Having studied how the Bible has been transmitted, preserved, and translated so that we can have it today, we move on to the important topic of how to study it.  We know that it … Continue reading How to Study the Bible and Enjoy It (6/7/23 Bible Class)

Among the I Am statements of Jesus is one that speaks clearly to the exclusivity of Christianity.  Though some will claim that there are multiple ways to heaven, such a thought stands in direct contrast to the words of Jesus, who stated that there is but one way to the Father, and that one way … Continue reading One Way – John 14:1-6 (6/4/23 First Sunday Devo)

Several topics taught in the Bible are unpopular in our modern age.  Few are as controversial as the discussion of respective roles of men and women within the gathered assembly of the church.  With this lesson, we attempt to make sense of the instruction that God has given, while also honoring and respecting the commands … Continue reading God’s Blueprint for the Church – 1 Corinthians 11:2-3 (6/4/23 a.m. sermon)

What we want to consider is if there is any such relationship, and if so, how much are our emotions affected … Continue reading The Holy Spirit and Emotionalism (6/4/23 Bible Class)

As we conclude our study on How We Got the Bible, we focus a bit more on the Bible in our language today.  We examine a few more modern translations, and why having multiple translations can be a good thing to aid in our understanding of God’s Word. Teacher: Justin P. Sivley

As Paul continues to defend his ministry to the church in Corinth, he gives the Christians a choice to make.  Will they choose to listen to one who truly cares for them, though some would call him a fool? Or will they listen to the false teachers that sound really good, but don’t have their … Continue reading Who Are You Going to Listen To? – 2 Corinthians 11:1-15 (5/28/23 p.m. sermon)

The family is part of God’s original design.  He made man and woman and brought them together in the beginning.  Recognizing that he created us with differences, and respecting that he expects different roles from each of us is necessary.  As we study God’s word together this morning, we focus on what is expected in … Continue reading God’s Blueprint for the Home – 1 Corinthians 11:2-3 (5/28/23 a.m. sermon)

As we continue our studies about the Holy Spirit together, we consider a bit more about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Our focus this week is primarily on what it means to be filled with the Spirit. Teacher: Matt Burleson
