Presented by Mark Winner - May 18, 2018

What have your experiences in life netted you? While we cannot control every circumstance in our lives, we can control the general direction of our lives. But that is assuming one very important point—that we are learning from our experiences as opposed to merely experiencing life.

Ach Shamar

Presented by Scott Lord - December 14, 2017

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a book about relationships. Building a relationship with God is what our Christian calling is all about. But God also wants us to learn how to relate to our fellow man—whether a stranger, a neighbor or a brother. Please join Scott Lord as we explore what it means to be our brother’s keeper.

Lessons From Elijah

Presented by Paul Carter - December 11, 2017

There are many individuals in the Bible from whom we can learn lessons. Some are only briefly mentioned, while others made a lasting impact in their time and left an abundance of examples for us to learn from. Join us as we look at the life of Elijah and some of the lessons we can gain from what is recorded in Scripture.

The Place of Safety?

Presented by Doug Horchak - September 15, 2017

For years, the Church has recognized references in Scripture to God protecting His people during the future time of God’s punishment of mankind. Where did this teaching originate? Is there any scriptural precedent to God protecting His people? Does the Bible teach of such a safe place for the Church in the future? If so, where might this place of protection be? Join Doug Horchak as he walks us through the Church’s historical teaching on this subject, coupled with what we can (and cannot) know from the Bible about the “place of safety” for God’s elect during the Tribulation and Day of the Lord.

How to Produce Godly Children

Presented by Dave Myers - September 15, 2017

Many tuning in to this study are parents with young children. Conscientious parents are concerned about how to raise their children in a godly manner. As parents, we can feel like we are wandering in the wilderness when it comes to finding solid guidelines by which to train our children. Yet our goal is to produce godly children that God will be pleased with and that we can be properly proud of. What are the most important values and behaviors that we should instill in our children? 

A Time to Dance

Presented by David Johnson - September 15, 2017

In 2000 crossover country star Lee Ann Womack won the Grammy Award for the best country song of the year with the song “I Hope You Dance.” The song wasn’t so much about dancing as it was about recognizing and seizing the opportunities life brings your way. The opportunities God brings to Christians are unique and have a purpose for our lives, but sometimes we, too, may overlook the special possibilities God sets before us. Sometimes the path that seems to lead where we want to go is not the one we need to travel. Join us in this Bible study to learn more about recognizing when God is telling us it’s time to dance.
