The Laws of Love

God created love and marriage. He also created laws to guide and guard the marriage relationship. When God's laws are honored, marriage is the safest relationship on earth, and the love we need is promoted and protected within it. When God's laws are violated, the environment necessary for true and lasting love is diminished or even destroyed. This course will teach you God's laws for love in marriage

The Gospel of Grace

As the gospel spread across the Roman world in the first decades after Jesus' earthly ministry, conflict arose. Jews and Gentiles were beginning to believe the gospel, and a struggle over what it meant to be a Christian began. Questions about the meaning of grace and the continual keeping of the Law were being asked just to name a few. In this study on the book of Galatians, we'll examine Paul's defense of the gospel of grace emphasizing justification by faith apart from the law, and the implications this has for Christian freedom and living.

Sanctity of Life:

Part 2

The 2024 election is over and the results are in: the sanctity of all human life is a minority view. Out of the 17 measures voted on by states since June 2022, 14 passed to enshrine elective abortions. As the church, we are called to fight for the marginalized (Prov. 24:11-12; James 1:27); and the killing of innocent babies is a major stronghold in our country (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Join us to discuss the sanctity of life and what it means to be salt and light in our community.
