Sept 17, 2023 Elisha Freeman — Many of us are Christians. In and through faith, we repented of our sin and were baptized to have that sin washed away. Through those responses, God calls us His children. What happens when God’s children sin? What do we think? What do we believe? What do we do? The Apostle John will remind us and encourage us that even when we sin, our Heavenly Father created and maintains the opportunity to be forgiven.
Sep 10, 2023 — Elisha Freeman The Holy Spirit through John makes a bold statement about the reality of eternal life: Eternal life is accessible and can be lived now not just later.

Aug 27, 2023 — Tom Shamblee The world we see is not our home and Paul describes our bodies as tents, or temporary dwellings. (Do we see them as such?)

Aug 13, 2023 Elisha Freeman — One aspect of the Biblical faith that is hard to accept, much less live through, is being tested. Sometimes, God allows the testing and sometimes God does the testing. When it comes our way, how do we pass the test? This morning we will take a look at Genesis 22 and Hebrews 11 at the record of Abraham’s greatest test and learn how to pass the test that comes into our faith journey.
Aug 06. 2023 Elisha Freeman — Everyone who is committed to following God must learn a vital lesson, that lesson is waiting. Waiting is hard, long, and challenging. How do we wait well?

Jul 30, 2023 — Scott Woolens — In today’s lesson, we’ll explore the life of David, son of Jesse, a major character in the story of God’s chosen people, Israel. He was a good king but not a perfect one. His life is full of heroic conquests and tragic misdirections and yet he points the way to a faith that will not let go of the God of Israel because the God of Israel will not let go of him.
Jul 23, 2023 Elisha Freeman — When a crisis arrives at your door, what is your response? Is it one of fear? Is it one of courage? This morning we are going to examine the response of one the good kings to see how we can respond in a favorable way.
