“Living A Spirit Filled Life" -  [Romans8:12-17; Ephesians 5:15-21] — Clearly the Bible teaches that the Holy Spiirit indwells, influences and leads the child of God.

“The Suffering Servant" -  (Isaiah 52:13-53:12)  - There is great apologetic value in Isaiah 53. Written nearly 700 years before Christ, the prophet clearly and accurately describes the suffering of God's Servant and the purpose for His suffering. But more than that, this text provides amazing theological and doctrinal statements fundamental to our salvation. God’s Servant would be rejected & despised / abused & tormented beyond words by wicked men. People still reject the REAL Jesus for the same reasons those in His day rejected Him. His suffering was for our sins - our transgressions - our peace and our healing. Our path to peace and healing is ONLY through the suffering Servant - Jesus Christ. - We have all sinned and all desperately need salvation - therefore we are all responsible for the suffering Jesus endured for us. — MP3  / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 07/03/2016

We MUST examine everything we are taught or think in the light of God’s word!— MP3  / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 06/26/2016

“Why Christians Want To Assemble With The Church” -  (Psalm 122:1-9) - A recent article stated that only 20% of Americans attend worship services every week. There were four reasons given why many do not want “to go to church.” Join us as we examine these  reasons many give as to why they do not want to “go to church,” and compare them to Biblical reasons why EVERY Christian WANTS to assemble with the church every time it assembles. - MP3  / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 05/01/2016

“The Demands of Grace” -  (Titus 2:1-15) - There are few, if any, Bible doctrines abused and perverted more than the doctrine of grace.  Join us as we examine what the Bible actually teaches about the “grace of God.” Any teaching about grace that diminishes the authority of Christ and the essentiality of our obedience to Him is a perversion of the truth. Grace does NOT give the Christian a license to sin or live any way he wishes. Grace has demands. Grace demands faith in Jesus, repentance toward Jesus and obedience to Jesus. - MP3  / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 04/24/2016

“Being United In A Divisive World” -  (James 3:14-4:10) - One of Satan’s most effective weapons is DIVISION. Since sin first entered the world, division has existed - and will continue to exist, even in eternity. Many recognize the value of “unity,” and seek to unite humanity by attempting to dismiss absolutes, such as the very existance of God and Satan, the reality of truth and error, sin and righteousness, moral and immoral, etc. In this lesson we will demonstrate the reality of the problem / why the problem exists / the necessity of division / and the ONLY provision & basis upon which unity with God & man can be achieved. - MP3  / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 04/10/2016

Others attempt to solve the problem by watering down the gospel into a few “essentials” and in turn dismiss many things the Lord demands of those who believe in Him.  The real issue is how to solve the problem -  How can believers in Christ truly be united? - MP3 PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 04/10/2016

“Some Things Money Cannot Buy” - (Matthew 6:19-33; Acts 18:14-24; 1 Peter 1:18,19) There are many who are so poor all they have is money! The truth is, we are truly wealthy ONLY if we are rich in things money cannot buy, i.e., spiritual things! - MP3  / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 02/28/2016
