2 Samuel 21 - Sin's Consequences And Teamwork



As we come to the last four chapters of 2 Samuel, instead of organizing themselves chronologically, they look back on David’s kingdom, God’s kingdom, and the relationship between them. Chapter 21 discusses some of life’s biggest questions, such as, “If there is a good God, why does he allow natural disaster and suffering?” Join us as we turn to the Bible for answers to some of life’s biggest questions.

2 Samuel 17:24-19:8 - Battle For The Kingdom



From 1955 until 1962, the world’s largest statue of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin loomed over Prague. The 17,000-ton monster dominated the skyline. When sculptor, Svec Polesny, applied to build the monument, he never expected to win the opportunity and spend the next five years of his life building it. During construction, the size of the project overwhelmed him. He fell into depression, became an alcoholic, and had an affair on his wife, which resulted in her committing suicide. As the monument neared completion in the spring of 1955, the project took so much out of him that Svec took his life. In the same way, Absalom was consumed with building a monument for himself. He wanted to leave a lasting legacy no one would forget. Like Svec, his attempt to build an unforgettable monument led to the end of his life. Join us as we study the story of Absalom, a man obsessed with being remembered.

2 Samuel 13 - Like Father, Like Son



What are the dangers of passive parenting? What happens when fathers are too busy at work to play an active role in comforting and correcting their children? What happens when children are left to act on their urges and instincts? In 2 Samuel 13, we get a window into King David’s passive parenting and the disaster that followed when he failed to discipline his sons. It is a chapter that will motivate every parent to be involved in guiding their children, no matter what their age.

Ephesians 6:4 - Teach Your Children



Schools have adopted a new system of writing for children. It is called Inventive Spelling. Children are allowed to write words in any way that feels right to them. This is intended to help children feel good about themselves and build self-esteem. Is allowing encouraging children to do whatever feels right to them the right way to raise our children? Join me as we look at God’s instructions on how to raise children.

1 Samuel 2:11-36 - Eli's Wicked Sons



Statistics tell us that social media is putting teenagers under more cultural pressure. This results in over half of teenagers drinking alcohol and over forty percent of teenagers trying drugs. How should parents handle rebellion in the lives of their teenage and adult children? Join us this weekend as we continue our study in 1 Samuel and meet Eli’s rebellious sons. We will learn lessons on how to parent children who refuse to listen and the responsibility children have for making wise choices.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 - How Do I Stand Strong For Jesus?



Today it is hard to know what to believe. A recent Gallup pole revealed seven out of ten Americans do not trust the major news networks. The media is seen as a political manipulation machine instead a source of unvarnished truth. Even more prevalent than the deception of today’s media is the religious deception around us. Satan is working hard to draw people away from Jesus. How can we be a strong Christian that is faithful to the end of our life and avoid being deceived? Join me as Paul shows us three pillars for a strong Christian life.

Command 5 - Honor Your Father And Mother




We live in a time that glorifies rebellion, especially against parents. Good luck finding a teen band that sings, "Have you helped your parents lately?" Good luck finding a teenage magazine that encourages you to help with chores around the house. Teen rebellion is glorified while honoring parents is vilified. God calls us to swim against the current on this one. The Bible promises that fighting against parents takes away life while honoring parents is the key to blessing in life, not just in your teen years but even through your adult years. Join us as we learn the importance of honoring the God-ordained authority figures in our lives.

1 Timothy 5:1-8 - What Are God's Cures For Loneliness and Vulnerability?




Do you feel lonely? Estimates say 1 in every 5 people in the United States struggle with it. Loneliness is particularly prevalent in the elderly. One study in Britain discovered that half a million people over 60 go for an entire week without seeing anyone. A million over the age of 60 only see someone once every 5 or 6 days. The research is clear. Many of us struggle with loneliness but it is rampant among the elderly. Join us as we discover God's answer to loneliness.

Genesis 19:30-38 - Daughters




Pennsylvania police say John Forehand signed up for Facebook to track a daughter he hadn’t seen in ten years. They say he was interested in a different kind of touching reunion as he sexually propositioned his 13-year-old girl. Police say he arrived fully prepared for what he thought would be a sexual encounter but what turned out to be his arrest by police. In Genesis 19, we find a similar demented scenario. Lot was incestuously raped by his own daughters so they would become pregnant and bear his children. What led Lot to such parental failure that he fathered his own grandchildren? In this study we will look at questions every father should be asking to raise their daughters to love Jesus and marry well.
