Great Oaks Church of Christ (Memphis, TN)

Tonight, we have the second part of our brief "Ministry of Conversation" Sunday night series. How can we prepare ourselves for when faith conversations might turn into the opportunity to have a Bible study with someone?

It's easy to think as we become a Christian that things will go smoothly - but is that what Scripture tells us to expect? This morning, we jump into James chapter 1 and discuss what we must to do exercise our faith, and understand just how thankful we should be for Jesus as a result.

How has the Gospel been "good news" to you? And how might we share that truth in everyday conversations? That simple practice is a great way to live evangelistically; let's study how it can happen in our lives.

This morning, we introduce our Great Oaks theme for 2026! It comes from a study of John 1:1-5.

Tonight we complete our Sunday night study of Ezekiel’s life and message! Let’s end the series by looking at his best-known vision from God, and what it teaches us about God and His people...

In 2025, we challenged our church family to read through the entire Bible. As our daily reading schedule comes to its last few days, let's explore the symmetry between the Bible's beginning and its end. What do the Bible's "bookends" teach us about the world and our faith?

We are studying the life and message of Ezekiel on Sunday nights! After Jerusalem was destroyed, Ezekiel preaches God's strong accusations against Israel's religious leaders, but he also shares some of God's big promises about how He would bring hope to His people in the future.

At a time of year when many people—including many outside of Christianity—are interested in Christ coming to earth, we study the one chapter in the Bible that tells us what happened on the day Jesus was born. What does the Bible tell us about it, and what do we learn about Jesus and our faith?

We are studying the life of Ezekiel on Sunday nights! Tonight, we notice an important theme that bridges the 'judgment' and 'hope' sections of the book.

This morning, we revisit our theme for 2025, "Go With God." What can we learn from Joshua about trusting God while facing life's challenges?

This morning, Tim discusses a church blessing for which he is thankful. Where do we see that blessing in Scripture, and how can we continue to practice it going forward?

We are studying the life of Ezekiel on Sunday nights! Tonight, we study some of the prophetic acts that Ezekiel performed to warn and teach the people. What did God tell Ezekiel to do, and what did those acts teach God's people?

Each fall at Great Oaks, we try to center our PM lessons on a Bible life! This year, we turn our thoughts towards the life of Ezekiel and how his upbringing led to some unique circumstances that God was able to use.

Today is our Praying for Memphis Sunday! As we aim to support and strengthen our community, we reflect on the book of Jonah and his story in Scripture.

Hope is a uniquely Christian quality, but sometimes we struggle to lean on it as we should. Tonight, we revisit a lesson God taught Jeremiah about hope. What was it, and what do we learn?

We live in a media-dominated world, which has become a big part of our daily lives. What are some of the spiritual challenges in our new digital age, and how can we be faithful as we face them?

Sunday morning sermon by Tim Alsup. This morning we complete our "Adventures in Bible Reading" series, reminding us of Scripture's life-changing power. Our study today comes from Acts 8, in which God brings a Christian together with someone reading his Bible, and we again see the life-and-soul-changing power of God's word.
