  • Planned Parenthood

    This is not an examination of what the world’s concept of “planned parenthood” is, but rather we will examine what God’s word has to say about being a parent. We will study on how to be godly parents. Only about 60% of children (according to one study) raised as a Christian follow that example when Continue reading

  • Involvement

    This lesson opens in Joshua 24. Here, in light of the new year, we are going to direct our thoughts toward the topic of involvement.

We are usually prepared to go one the defensive regarding our faith and practices, but we sometimes fall short on being able to simply share our faith.
