Text: Ephesians 1.3

We are often encouraged to "bless" God in the Bible, especially in the Psalms. But how can we (as finite beings) bless an infinite God? What does it mean to "bless" God? This is the focus of our lesson today.

Text: 2 Corinthians 5.17-21

What are you? The question will change depending on the context in which it is asked. It is also a deceptively difficult question because many struggle with self-identity. Today, we will consider the question from an in-Christ perspective.

Text: Ezekiel 6.9

When we consider the impact of sin, we often thing of it in terms of how sin impacts us. But how does sin impact God? Today, we consider a shockingly unexpected image of the impact of sin on God in Ezekiel 6.

Text: 2 Chronicles 16.12 & James 5.13-15

Today we consider the all-to-often controversial issue of whether or not it is permissible for a Christian to receive the COVID19 vaccine(s). This is a difficult and intensely personal issue with which many struggle. Today we cut through the hyperbole, misinformation, and personal politics to consider the ethics of the issue from a biblical perspective.

Text: Acts 2.36-38

When it comes to a meal, it doesn't get much simpler than a peanut butter sandwich. Consisting of two simple ingredients, it's hard to mess it up. It is also irreducible in complexity (remove one element and we no longer have a sandwich). There is something we can learn from the peanut butter sandwich when it comes to the simplicity of the proper response to the gospel of Christ. We explore peanut butter sandwiched and salvation in our lesson today.

Text: Psalm 119.127-128

Gold is a precious metal that some pursue with all of their heart. The psalmist spoke of his love of and commitment to God's word as being more valuable to him than even the purest gold. Do we love it and pursue it with the same dogged, heartfelt commitment?

Text: 2 Corinthians 2.14-17

There are two sides to every coin toss, those who win and those who walk way. Though not a game of chance, this dynamic is true with the gospel message as well. In this lesson we consider both sides of the proverbial coin by looking at something Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 2.

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5.19

In our text, Paul charges the church in Thessalonica, "Don't quench (or extinguish) the Spirit." What does he mean by this? And can we suppress the Spirit of God today? If so, how?
