One Word: Marriage (Adam Faughn)

While marriage is not a requirement to be a faithful Christian if one chooses to marry he or she must follow Gods will fully in that relationship In our time when marriage is being stripped of its Biblical heritage we must return to the Scripture and seek the will of God In Ephesians 5 Paul gives one concept that if we could apply in each marriage would make all the difference This lesson will build toward that allimportant concept

Hot, Cold, or Lukewarm? (Adam Faughn)

The seven churches of Asia faced immense struggles both internally and externally The church at Laodicea was condemned by the Lord for being lukewarm but what did Jesus mean in saying that

One Word: Mother (Adam Faughn)

It is commonly believed that the word mother originated from the sounds little babies make The word still makes us think of the preciousness of that relationship To think of the idea of being a godly mother we are going to study a lady thatso far as we knowdid not have children of her own However Deborah was called a mother of Israel and her example sets forth principles that each mother who desires to be godly can follow

The "More Blessed" Beatitude (Adam Faughn)

Beatitudes are usually thought of as the opening words of the Sermon on the Mount but there are many other statements of blessing found in the New Testament In Acts 20 Paul shares with us one that is not found in the Gospels but that Jesus said This lesson will examine the statement It is more blessed to give than to receive in context then apply it to our daily lives of giving to others

One Word: Resurrection (Adam Faughn)

1 Corinthians 1533 is a favorite verse of parents and youth ministers but do we ever consider the context Paul is writing about the resurrection so there must be a tiein with that great teaching This lesson will notice that tiein so that we can better understand the importance of this teaching

Arise, My Love (Rickey McCreless)
