July 31, 2022 — Elisha Freeman As we read through the NT, the topic of suffering appears quite a lot. What are we to do when suffering arrives at our door step? How are we to respond? We will seek to answer these questions and more with our lesson.
Apr 24, 2022 — Brian Newberry — We serve a God whose plans for us might be bigger for us than we dare to ask or imagine! Jesus surprises all those who believed in Him in Bethany in the days before his crucifixion.
Apr 17, 2022 Elisha Freeman — It has been at least two weeks since Jesus has been resurrected and Peter has not had an opportunity to speak with him. Does this mean Jesus is done with Peter? Can Peter return from his denial of Jesus when he was arrested? Does this mean the things that Jesus promised Peter in Matthew 16:15-18 are now going to someone else? Is there any hope for Peter? This morning we will read through the third resurrection appearance to answer our questions.
Apr 10, 2022 — Elisha Freeman Most of the recorded sermons found in the Book of Acts focus on the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection is the bedrock of the Christian faith and the Bible provides evidence that it did happen. What practical implications should the resurrection have on our lives today and for the future? What decisions should we make today? We will seek to answer these and more in this morning’s lesson.
Apr 03, 2022 — Elisha Freeman There are many claims that the Bible makes concerning Jesus. None bigger than “He is risen”. What evidence does the Scripture provide that Jesus is alive and not dead? Our lesson this morning centers on this question and seeking the answer.
Dec 05, 2021 — Elisha Freeman The wise men travel to Jerusalem searching for the ‘king of the Jews’. This description is powerful picture of the role of Jesus prior to His birth, at His birth, and for the rest of time. This description also begs the question, what kind of King is Jesus? This morning we will seek to answer this question and how we can follow in His footsteps.
Apr 04, 2921 — Elisha Freeman — Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” ends with the author acknowledging the futility of the loss and the realization of hopelessness. Many of us know this feeling and reality very well as we battle hopelessness as a constant companion. The resurrection of Jesus reminds us that while the believer battles hopelessness there is not such thing as having no hope. Easter is about the revival of hope.
Jan 24, 2021 — Elisha Freeman — The Book of Revelation is about giving us a big picture view of everything that is going on. We need a big picture of God and we also need a big picture of our true enemy. In Revelation 12-14 we are reminded of our enemy and how we can withstand the war he wages on us daily.
Jul 26, 2020 — Elisha Freeman Romans 8 is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible. It speaks of hope in the face of suffering and groaning. However, what happens when hope comes under attack? To where do we turn to strengthen the hope we have in Jesus? We seek to answer this in the lesson this morning.
Apr 12, 2020 – Elisha Freeman – What happens when a parade and a funeral procession meet on the same road? This is the question that comes to mind when Jesus and His crowd meet a widow from Nain going to bury her only son. In this encounter we are reminded that nothing is beyond Jesus’ power.
