Ephesians

The eternal, Triune God has a glorious plan for the ages. That plan includes saving people by grace for a relationship with Himself in love. This salvation redeems people from their sin, blesses them with spiritual riches, and brings true unity through the Spirit. In response to such a glorious salvation, believers are to live out the realities of their new, united existence in Christ. One of the main ways we do this is by serving one another in the local church and growing together in our knowledge of God’s love. Having died to our old, selfish ways, we live out the new man by walking in the light and imitating God’s character of love. We recognize that we are in a spiritual war, and so we pray for one another as we fight against the real enemy. We do all of this with the confident assurance that our salvation is secure in Christ, and we eagerly look forward to the fullness of the age to come.

Church-Wide Sunday School Bible Study:

Old Testament Survey

In Sunday school we are now doing a research and study on the Old Testament in the form of an Old Testament Survey class. Ever wonder where we got our English Bible? How about all the main doctrines we now espouse to be God’s Truth? Where did they come from? What is the difference between historical, poetical, and prophetical books in the Bible? What are the main themes and key verses in each of the sixty-six books we have in our Bibles today? Is it true that Christ can be seen in every book of the Bible? What are the timelines of the various kings, judges, prophets, and notable events that are depicted in the Bible and across history? Come and join us for this exciting review of the Old Testament each Sunday morning.

Wednesday Night Study:

Understanding the Local Church

In this series, we’re going back to the basics: what is a church, what does it do, and why should I be part of one? As regards the distinctives of a local congregation, we’ll examine what distinguishes a true church from a small group, a Bible study, or even a Christian camp. We’ll also think about the differences between one that merely exists and one that is rightly ordered. We’ll build on that foundation and consider the reasons why God establishes local churches at all. As we do, we’ll see that being part of a local church is essential for our growth in Christ. None of us were made to follow Jesus alone. We need each other, and the Lord has graciously established local churches to help us pursue the goal of full maturity in Christ. Besides the Wednesday night devotions, a weekly study guide is available for deeper study on the subject.
