1.7.24 – "What God Has Done"
We must realize that every joy and blessing comes from God. “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow” (James 1:17).
1.14.24 – "The Gift of Love"
God’s gift of love appears to us in every way. This love especially comes to us in Jesus Christ our Lord, who suffered for our sins that He might bring us to the Father and give us eternal life. What wondrous love!
1.21.24 – "Meant for Good"
Not everything that happens to us is good. We all face struggles and heartaches, but God has the power to turn the things that are harsh into something that helps and is good. We can trust God to help us in our struggles.
1.28.24 – "But He Lied"
Many today imagine what you believe doesn’t matter if you love Jesus, but believing a lie can lead to irreparable harm. In this lesson we see how a religious man believed a lie, failed to obey God, and lost his life.

2.4.24 – "Who Is Jesus?"
No one in all of history is like Jesus Christ, but who is this Jesus who loved us and died upon a cross? The New Testament describes Jesus by titles and descriptions that reveal who He is and why He came to earth.
2.11.24 – "Examine Yourselves"
Paul asked the church at Corinth, “Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.” Perhaps we too should take an inventory of our spiritual lives and character. What might we see?
2.18.24 – "A Sin-Sick Soul"
Many today are sick and may not know it! I’m not speaking physically but spiritually. People who have allowed sin habits to form in their lives are opening their lives to much harm, and they desperately need the Lord to save them.
2.25.24 – "Freedom in Christ"
Paul said in Galatians 6:1, “It was for freedom that Christ set us free.” Many think Christianity restricts us and has too many rules, but true Christianity frees us from sin and opens the door to a new life!

3.3.24 – "We Need God Again"
When America separated from Great Britain, they realized how desperately they needed God to be with them. In our culture of declining morals, we too must awaken to our desperate need for the God of heaven to be with us.
3.10.24 – "What God Wants for Me"
As parents Jackie and I wanted to give our children the very best we could, because we loved them. In the same way our Father in Heaven wants to meet our needs and give us the best life possible.
3.17.24 – "Spiritual and Religious"
A recent Pew poll revealed that while many Americans (41%) seek to be more spiritual, fewer (24%) seek to be religious. In fact, over time a third of all Americans have become less spiritual. Being spiritual and being right with God are not alike.
3.24.24 – "Walking with God"
How we walk (or live our lives) is important. While many decide to walk their own path, the Lord Jesus wants us to walk with Him. Are you walking in the light or darkness? We hope you are walking in the light.
3.31.24 – "Our Adversary"
We have an adversary who is willing to use any strategy or lie to overcome us spiritually. We should know our enemy and be ready to fight against him. Thankfully we have the Lord who will help us when we are tempted.

You can start over again with a new and better life. The Lord causes every person who becomes a Christian to be born again. Yes, every person who obeys the gospel is born again. You can have a new life!

There is so much uncertainty in this world and questions that seem to have no answer. But when you have Christ, you can know the truth that will set you free from doubts and fears prevalent in this world.

When you have Christ, you have hope and a promise of life beyond with the Lord Jesus. One day Christians will enjoy the place prepared and kept for them, a place that is imperishable, undefiled, and will not fade away.

5.5.24 – "Back to the Bible"
What the Lord has caused to be written in Scripture never loses its authority. It stands written. The Scriptures had authority in the first century and will have authority in this 21st century. Let’s go back to the Bible.

Early Christians were devoted to their faith in Jesus Christ. It was not a weekly observance but a daily commitment to serving the Lord. They took their faith seriously and would not let anything move them from their devotion to the Lord Jesus.

The fool described in Scripture is one who denies or ignores God and His teaching. He lives for himself and is unwilling to listen to the wise teaching of God. When the fool is rebuked, he hardens his heart against God.
6.23.24 – "Truth"
We sometimes hear people speak about “my truth” and “your truth”; but is there is a truth that is greater than an individual’s conclusion? Can people deceive themselves about life, sin, and the judgment?
6.30.24 – "The "Musts" of Christianity"
The little word “must” is often forgotten in today’s religious society, but the New Testament uses the Greek word for “must” nearly one hundred times. Christianity makes demands on us, and there are things we must do.

9.1.24 – "Someday I Will"

9.8.24 – "The Blood of Christ"

Human traditions and doctrines of religious groups often fill people’s minds with things they think the Bible teaches. We need to know if the Bible really teaches these things. We are searching for the Lord’s will and the truth.

11.3.24 – "Citizenship as Christians"
When it’s time to elect government officials, should Christians get involved? If Christians never get involved in electing godly people, then ungodly people will have little trouble getting ungodly people elected.
11.10.24 – "Morals Matter"
Do morals matter in our culture? In a world where many people believe that morality is circumstantial rather than determined by God, people believe they can do as they please. God, however, will have the last say in matters of morality.
11.17.24 – "Being With Christ"
Being with Christ is so much better than being without Him. In this lesson we will explore the joy and the blessing of having a close, personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. In Christ we have blessings now and blessings in the life to come.

12.29.24 – "The Way"
The Lord Jesus declared in John 14:6 that He is “the way.” He is indeed the way we live, the way we treat others, and the only way to draw close to our Father in heaven. Living “my way” is not the same as following the one true way.
