- Nov 5, 2017What Can Stand in the Way?
What Can Stand in the Way?We learn from Philip a great way to share the story. When he meets the Ethiopian along the road, Philip begins where tha man's questions are and leads him toward Jesus. What can stand in our way of telling the story? What can stand in our way of responding to the story by being baptized and following him?
- Oct 29, 2017Standing
StandingIn Stephen we see a great example of the boldness and courage to keep telling the story of Jesus. Are we will to stand through adversity to keep telling the story?
- Oct 22, 2017Serving
ServingMike Duffield, one of our elders, brings us this lesson from Acts 6 about the selection of seven men to serve in the early church. Service is one of the many important works God intends for His church.
- Oct 15, 2017Being the Church

- Oct 8, 2017Giving
GivingOne of our elders, Mike Duffield, shares this lesson from Acts 4 and reminds us the importance of giving in the church. This week we took a special contribution to help Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, Inc. with their work responding to natural disasters. They are currently helping in the aftermath of hurricanes in Texas and Florida, fires in the west and in other areas around the country. You can learn more about their work and find ways to help at
- Oct 1, 2017Sharing Without Fear
Sharing Without FearPeter and John were arrested for talking about Jesus. They were given an ultimatum by the Sanhedrin to stop. Their response in Acts 4:20 was simple: "As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." For Christians today, we have that same mission. If you were on trial for sharing about Jesus, would you be found guilty?
- Sep 24, 2017Look at Us
Look at UsIn Acts 3, Peter heals a man at the gate of the temple. With the attention that follows, he and John use the opportunity to tell the crowd about Jesus. When people notice the lives we live and the way we love God, it gives us the opportunity to point people toward Him.
- Sep 17, 2017The Church Begins
The Church BeginsOn the day of Pentecost the promised Spirit is finally revealed, the gospel of Christ is shared and lives are changed. In the beginning of the church we see the foundation it is built upon and the pattern that helps it grow.
- Sep 10, 2017The Mission of the Church
The Mission of the ChurchWe begin a new series this week on the book of Acts: The Church in Action. Between His resurrection from death and ascension to heaven, Jesus left the apostles with the mission to share His story. It is a mission we continue today.
- Sep 3, 2017The Reunion
The ReunionOur series on Genesis concludes with the reunion of Joseph and his family. From being the favorite son, to the bottom of a pit, to life as a slave, to prison and eventually to the palace of Pharaoh; Joseph's life is full of ups and downs. Through all of them, "God was with Joseph." His story is a reminder of God's faithfulness. Our stories can be too.
- Aug 27, 2017From the Pit to the Palace
From the Pit to the PalaceAfter continuing to do the right thing, Joseph finds himself in prison. Even there he is given responsibility because of his good character. This incredibly difficult path will lead him through God's power to being second to only Pharoah in Egypt. God can still work in our struggles in ways that we cannot even imagine.
- Aug 20, 2017Joseph and Potiphar
Joseph and PotipharAfter escaping death only to be sold into slavery, Joseph ends up in Egypt in the house of Potiphar. Even as a slave, Joseph earns the respect of his owner. Unfortunately, that respect is short-lived due to false accusations. Through all the struggles, God is still with Joseph. That should remind us that God is faithful through good and bad.
- Aug 13, 2017Joseph
JosephThe last major character in our Genesis series is Joseph. His story takes about 1/4 of the book. This is the first of four lessons about his life. Joseph was his father's favorite child. That did not go over well with his brothers, but God uses their action against Joseph as one of the first steps to place Joseph where he needs to be.
- Aug 6, 2017Jacob
JacobWe return to our series on Genesis with a survey of the life of Jacob. Like so many of us, he made some poor choices in his life. But as we also see, God is faithful through it all.
- Jul 30, 2017Leaving the Past Behind

IsaacOur series on Genesis continues this week with a look at the life of Isaac.
- Jul 16, 2017God Provides
God ProvidesGenesis 22 can be a difficult chapter to understand through modern eyes. In Abraham's culture it set God apart from the gods that others worshiped. Our God provides the sacrifice for Abraham and for us.
- Jul 9, 2017True Freedom
True FreedomThe story of Abraham and Sarah is so much more than a story about an older couple having a baby. It is a story that shows what happens when people finally follow God's path instead of their own. Walking with God is not a series of limitations. Walking with God allows us to find true freedom.
- Jul 2, 2017David
DavidAs we look back at our week of Vacation Bible School, we talk about the life of David. Through David's ups and downs, God remains constant and sees through to his heart.
- Jun 25, 2017The Covenant
The CovenantOne of our greatest difficulties in faith can be trusting in God's ways and His timing. In Genesis 15, God makes a covenant with Abram (soon to be known as Abraham). Abram and Sarai struggle with a plan from God that sounds impossible, but God continually reminds them and us that He can do the impossible.
- Jun 18, 2017Men of God
Men of GodOn Father's Day we discuss several of the men of God in the book of Genesis. They have strengths and flaws as we all do, but we can learn from their victories and mistakes how to better walk with God.
