I trust that springtime has found you all well.  We enjoyed another great Sunday School lesson this past weekend and discussed the community project that is occurring this coming Sunday.
Whether you missed last week, or did not participate in the “Knock on Nine” event, and even if you haven’t attended Sunday School in a long [...]

In today’s lesson scripture we learn of Ezra’s motivation in returning to Israel – to not only study the law of God, but to live it and to teach it.  Study for himself, live (obey) it for God, and teach it for others.  We also learn that Ezra led others, lay people as well as [...]

Today’s lesson scripture takes us to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry in the Gospel according to St. Luke.  This comes right after his sojourn in the wilderness and the temptation he endured there.  Usually we read today’s scripture as the narrative of Jesus’ rejection by his hometown, but when we do this we miss the [...]

What do you think?  Do you favor small groups that meet outside of the regular “Sunday School” atmosphere?  How long should these groups last — should they be ongoing or short term?  Do you think it works better to meet on the Church campus or rotate meetings in people’s homes?  Is there a particular type [...]

Then have done with falsehood and speak the truth to each other, for we belong to one another as part of one body. – Ephesians 4:25  We have been adopted, called, empowered and gifted to receive the incredible privilege of being co-laborers of God, lovers of one another, and those who shared God’s love with [...]

Never cease to love your fellow Christians.  Do not neglect to show hospitality; by doing this, some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:1-2  Never neglect to show kindness and to share what you have with others; for such are the sacrifices which God approves.  Hebrews 13:16

Knowing — and doing — God’s will.  That’s what today’s lesson is about.  How do we discern God’s will?  Maxie Dunnam gives us three means of doing so: (1) Scripture study; (2) Christian “conferencing”; and (3) divine conviction through the Holy Spirit.  Have you experienced understanding God’s will in your life through these avenues?  What [...]
