When life changes we all have a choice: we can either believe God is doing something or we can be miserable. Join us for Session #2 as we learn from 4 guys in the Old Testament who were kidnapped and taken to a foreign land where they would have to learn live a "new normal" life.
Bad news usually comes out of nowhere and when it does - panic, anxiety and fear are our usual response. But as a follower of Jesus - how should we respond? How can we look at something tragic or something that changes the trajectory of our lives in light of God? Can God use something bad and use it for something good? Join us for our first session in our new Monday morning series to help you jump start your week!
Parable of the Talents – Today we will work through the Parable of the Talents as we discuss our purpose in life. Every Christian has been given something. It might be an ability or a profession. It might be money or a desire to help people. It might be a passion or hobby. Whatever it is – God wants to use it!!
Today we will be working through the Parable of the Faithful and Unfaithful servant. Throughout the Bible we come across men and women who took their faith serious; who wanted to make God look great no matter what. Today we will see that those are the people who ended up being the most faithful, loyal, steadfast and unmovable in their faith and we need to ask ourselves which category we fit in!
Am I Really A Christian? This is a very important lesson from the Parable of the wheat and the tares! Jesus wants to warn us that Satan has a plan and he is "seeding" his followers into our churches, bible study, and small groups - claiming to be Jesus followers but in reality they are placed there to divide and destroy the true church. So how does Satan do this? You may be surprised at how covert he is!
People are watching...what are they seeing? Jesus reminds us that we are to be the light in a very dark world and to be salt to those around us. But what does that mean? What should I be doing to look more like salt and light? Join us for a very important lesson!!
Today we will work through the Parable of the Two Debtors as we see a Prostitute who was changed forever by Jesus. Her response to Him is shocking which begs the question for us: has our encounter with Jesus changed us in that way?
The Good Samaritan – Today we will work through this well known Parable as we learn who our neighbor is 2000 years after Jesus taught this! Since we don’t find too many people robbed by the side of the road – we will put that scenario into our lives today and see what we come up with!
How To Abide In Jesus Christ The Parable of the fruitless fig tree – Today we will work through the Parable of the fig tree that never grew fruit and we will see from this parable that Jesus says spiritual fruit is expected and not optional! So what does that mean for us? What exactly is spiritual fruit?
Parable of the Mustard seed, growing seed and yeast. Join us today as we see how for thousands of years people have been coming to Jesus which begs the questions: How? Why? And what is my part in all of this?
Join us today as we work through this amazing parable and learn how NOT to wander away from our faith but if we do – we have a Shepherd who comes after us and brings us back to the flock!
Stabbed 37 times Kevin Ramsby shares the story of how he forgave the man who broke in his home and stabbed him 37 times - an event which changed the course of Kevin's life forever. This is a powerful story of forgiveness and how we can look at horrible tragic events in a different light!
Forgiveness, Reconciliation or Run away - Join us as Kevin Ramsby answers questions from the audience and shows us the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and he how we can re frame the events and the people who hurt us and allow God to use that for good!
The parable of the unforgiving debtor – What do we do when someone has hurt us and changed the course of our life forever? How can we get past the pain and move forward with a heart filled with forgiveness? Join us today as we work through the Parable of man who refused to forgive and we will see what Jesus says about that!
The Parable of the Persistent Widow and the Persistent Friend – When you pray do you stop praying because you don’t think God will answer the way you want? When you pray have you ever thought about who your prayers will benefit? Join us today as we work through what persistent praying looks like!
The Parable of the Prodigal Son – today we will see the heart of God for His children who walk away from Him for a season. Join us as we see that no matter how far you have wandered away from Him – He is waiting with open, outstretched arms to welcome you home!
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Join us today as we work through the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector with modern day examples showing us who we might look more like! After today’s lesson we may be saying “ who ME? I’m not like the Pharisee!” But in reality – we just may be!
Parable of Counting the cost – join us today as we see what Jesus asks of us – to count the cost of following Him but the question we have is…HOW? How do we do that? Join us as we discuss this today!!
The Parable of the Sheep Gate Part 2. Today we will have former Mormon and tenured BYU professor Lynn Wilder join us as she shares her story of leaving the Mormon church after 30 years. Lynn finally left the Mormon church when she was confronted with what the bible said about false prophets, false christs and false religion. Join us for a very informative lesson on what the Bible says we need to watch out for!
The Parable of the Sheep Gate. How do you think people get to heaven? Do all roads lead to God no matter what religion? Jesus says NO WAY! Join us today for a very important lesson regarding what false teachers or false religions are trying to promote that will affect where people will spend eternity!
The Parable of the Wicked Tenants – today we will see the incredible patience of God as we are reminded of how God waited and waited for hundreds of years for the Israelites to come back to Him! We will see what that means for us thousands of years later as we grasp His heart for us to return to Him if we have wandered away or for some of us we may realize we never really knew Him at all!
Parable of the Pearl of great price – today we will find out what this incredible treasure is that we are offered and we will see why it is worth giving up anything just to have it!
Today we will ask the question “What matters most in our life?” Because as followers of Jesus – the answer should look different than anyone else! Join us for the Parable about a man who God calls a fool – a man who took life easy and didn’t care about others and we will see why as a Christian – that can’t be us!
Today with guest Allen Parr we will continue building our strong spiritual foundation by answering questions regarding “Why so many denominations?” “How does God speak to us?” “How does Catholicism differ from biblical Christianity?” and why the Catholic Bible has more books in it and so much more!
Join us today with special guest Allen Parr as we talk about building a strong spiritual foundation, just like Jesus said to do in the Parable of the rock and sand, by answering tough questions with Biblical answers! In this session we will discuss what the Bible says about Anxiety, Fear, Depression and much more!
Continuing the Parable of the rock and sand, today Allen Parr will help us build our spiritual foundation by learning what the bible says about relationships. We will see what the Bible says about singleness, loneliness, online dating and biblical reasons for divorce and separation and much more!
Today we will work through the parable of a man who has a choice regarding what foundation to build his house on: the rock or sand. But why does that matter?? The point is that in order to make it through the difficulties in life we need to build our lives on a strong spiritual foundation but the question is: how do we do that? Join us to find out!
Today we will work through the parable of the 2 sons. When asked to go to work – one son did what his father asked. The other refused. In this parable Jesus is trying to make a point: He really does care that we know what His will is and then do it!!
Today we will work through the parable about wineskins as we learn why many people are miserable in their Christian life! Reason: we can’t take our old life of sin and shame and guilt and bring it with us over to our new life in Christ!! We will see how Jesus feels about us mixing the old life we used to live and the new life He is offering and why He says it won’t work!
