Biblical Studies
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scripture daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17:11 – KJV)

Mission
Our mission is not to teach the Bible to the learner but to teach the learner the Bible so that they receive the word with all readiness of mind and search the scripture daily, whether these things are so!

Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God’s Agenda
By Henry & Richard Blackaby

Leadership. Everyone experiences it, or the lack of it in their daily lives. Those called to lead can find it a daunting task. Those expected to follow can experience frustration when their leader is unable to lead and their organization seems to be going nowhere. Struggling leaders may agonize in the knowledge that others resent them and blame them for their organizations failures.  Discouraged Christian leaders carry the added, albeit misguided burden that they are failing not only their people but their Lord. IS there any hope for countless number of leaders who are not experiencing the fulfillment and reaching the potential God intended for them? If anything can revolutionize today’s Christian leaders it is when Christians understand God’s design for spiritual leadership.  This eleven week study on Spiritual Leadership will equip those who are called and those who follow with the tools to move God’s people on to His agenda.

Ephesians

Broken marriages, shattered friendships, racial divisions, war between nations-we live in a fractured world. How can the pieces be put back together? In Ephesians Paul lifts the veil from the future to allow us to see God's plan to unite everyone and everything in Christ. Studying this book will renew your hope. This revised Life Guide Bible Study features additional questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection. Over the next 11 weeks we will study the Epistle of Ephesians.

Keeping Order in the Church

Worship is the act of displaying reverence or paying homage to God. The word reverence means: “an outward expression of a deep inward awe.”  Our worship should be an expression of AWE at what God has done, is doing and will do for us. If we are honest, we have to admit that there is room for improvement in the discipline and manner in which we approach God through worship each Sunday morning.
