This week we continue our study out of Hebrews with a look at Hebrews 5:11-6:20. This series is about how Jesus is always the better way. This week we learn that He is a better hope. Read the text and consider what it means to grow and mature in the faith. What is the risk if you choose not to mature in your faith? And how does maturing in your faith help you find a greater "assurance of hope" in Christ? 

This week we begin a new study out of Hebrews. Our text is Hebrews 4:15-5:10. We will be considering what it means that Jesus is our "Great High Priest". For the Jewish Christian, the writer is trying to show them why Jesus is a better high priest then they had ever had. For you and I - what are some alternatives to Jesus that we are tempted to trust more than He? As you read the text, consider what it means to "practice the presence of God".

This week is family Sunday! That means our kids from kidslane will be joining us in the main service and you will see some of them as well as some of our teens helping serve in various ways. This is appropriate as this Sunday we conclude our church wide study of the armor of God with a look at what Paul calls the "Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17. What is the significance of Paul calling it the Sword of the Spirit? And why is it a sword? Read Matthew 4:1-11 and Hebrews 4:12 as you consider these things. 

This week we are discussing the helmet of salvation in Ephesians 6:17. Why do you think Paul made salvation the helmet in his metaphor? How does or can our salvation protect our minds? Read 1 John 5:13, Romans 8:1, and John 8:36 - how do these scriptures help you answer that question? 

This week we examine the "shield of faith" in Ephesians 6:16. Read it, what makes the devils darts "flaming"? How does the shield of faith "extinguish" said darts? How do we "take up" this shield? Why and how "In all circumstances"?

This Easter Sunday we will be talking about the "shoes for your feet" in Ephesians 6:15. Read the verse and consider the following questions: Why does Paul call it the Gospel of Peace? How does it make us ready or prepared and for what? How do we put such shoes on?

This week we continue our church-wide study of Paul's armor of God in Ephesians 6 with a look at the breastplate of righteousness. Read 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:16, and consider the question, "How does righteousness protect us?"

This week we begin a church-wide study on what Paul calls the armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-20. This week read Eph. 6:10-14a, 1 Peter 5:8, John 8:44. What do these texts tell you about the devil? What is the first piece of armor Paul recommends and how will it help you today in real life situations where you encounter the adversaries' deceptions?

This week we conclude our brief series called "What God says about Human Sexuality" with an examination of what God's Word says with regard to transgenderism. This is a hot topic in this world right now and we (especially our kids) are getting all kinds of information from everywhere about this topic. We are going to look at Jesus' words in Matthew 19:4-6 and discuss this topic with the grace and truth that characterized Jesus teaching.
