Parenting in Perilous Times: How to Raise Children in a Culture Gone Wild.
Raising children these days is not easy. The world is changing so rapidly that the ways of raising children we learned seem irrelevant. Confusion abounds. Many parents are paralyzed, not knowing what to do. Yet we can find answers that are relevant, clear and helpful.

What do you think is supremely valuable? What do you spend your energies pursuing? What should you pursue with all your might? Jesus gives you clear answers.

PART I - The Messiah I Never Knew: Old Testament Narratives Seeking to be Heard
While 1 Samuel describes David as "a man according to God's heart," both liberal and conservative interpreters have found cause to denigrate David's character, regarding him as a weak monarch at best, at worst a conniving tyrant who used propaganda to leave a false legacy. However, if we properly understand how 1-2 Samuel works, we will see that some of the very features that have been held up as evidence of David's weakness are those in which God's character shines forth most powerfully. This series demonstrates how the books of 1 and 2 Samuel function to present a model messiah, giving hope for the believer in every generation. It further demonstrates that Jesus is the Great Messiah precisely because he is like David.
Part II - Church Ministry After Obergefell
In June 2016 the United States Supreme Court in Obergefell et al, v. Hodges, Director, Ohio Department of Health et al legalized same-sex marriage in the United States. Though it did not directly or immediately affect the Church the future implications of this decision could be profound and pervasive. We will be looking at how this decision impacts the Church and how we should prepare.

The way we communicate exposes who we are and where we are in life. It has tremendous impact on our lives and on those with and about whom we are communicating. In this series of studies our goal will be to understand what God wants, where we fail and how we can communicate in a God-honoring way.

Who is Jesus? That is the question. A writer by the name of John answers that question in his Gospel. John clearly believes Jesus is God in the Flesh. Then, for 20 chapters, John unpacks the evidence for his conclusion. As he does, he marvelously allows you and I, as the readers, to enter into all kinds of encounters with Jesus as well as witness a variety of responses people had to Jesus. John concludes with the Big Question.... What do you think about Jesus? Who do you say He is?

19th Annual Bible Conference
While we may think that our modern day battle against falsehood and deception is new, it isn’t. Ever since Eden, deception and truth twisting are part and parcel of our human existence and it is our charge to be on guard against it. We must first understand where the truth lies and then stand up for its content. The faces and names may change over history, but there is truly nothing new under the sun.
