Reacting to Jesus

Mike Sullivan

Mark 12:1-34

In His day, different people had differing reactions to Jesus.  The religious leaders valued their power over submitting to Jesus.  Some people were curious and approached Him with sincere questions.  Value God's opinion more than other people's opinion.

An Ideal Woman

Dennis McCallum

Proverbs 31:1-31

Proverbs 31 details the description of a strong and capable wife, but the lesson is not limited to wives or even just women.  This chapter challenges both women and men to be strong and capable and to trust God to help one become such a person.

A Relationship with God

Dennis McCallum

Proverbs 3:1-12

Proverbs are a form of instruction that ultimately desire to lead one to trust or believe in the Lord and not one's own self.

The Jesus I Thought I Knew

Mike Sullivan

Mark 1:14-2:28

When Jesus began His earthly ministry, He insisted our most pressing need was not for physical healing, but forgiveness of our sins. His displays of power over illnesses and demons demonstrated His authority to make this bold claim.

Response

Jim Leffel

Hebrews 10:19-11:6

The writer of Hebrews is warning his listeners that if they continue to willfully reject the offer of forgiveness that Jesus extends, there is no other means of salvation.  There is only the terrifying expectation of judgment.

John the Baptist's Greatest Quality

James Rochford

John 1:19-37

Some people think humility is being weak, shy, timid or putting yourself down but that is not biblical humility. By studying John the Baptist we can answer these three questions about humility. What is humility? Why would we want humility? How do we learn humility?

A Tale of Two Kings

Scott Risley

2 Samuel 1

King David and King Saul chose different paths. King Saul refused to obey God and was surprised when in need, God did not answer him. He even went so far as to consult a spiritual medium for advice. But David, even after going his own way for a time, turned back to God and heard from Him when he called upon Him.

A Tale of Two Kings

James Rochford

1 Samuel 28-31

David continually put his trust in God and not in his own abilities, whereas Saul turned to go his own way and ultimately lost the kingship. David did not let fear rule his life, but Saul was consumed by fear and jealousy of David. David drew his strength from God and His Word, but Saul turned to spiritists and mediums.

David On the Run

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 21-25

When the waiting on God becomes weeks, months, even years, will you take matters into your own hands or will you actively wait upon the Lord? Will you trust God to bring you spiritual friends while repeatedly seeking God in prayer? Will you refrain from repaying evil with evil while remembering the times God has come through?
