Seekers with Dr. Violet T. Adams

Wisdom Begins with God – Proverbs 1:7–9; 2:1–5; 3:5–7 How do we keep God at the center of all we do? The fear — or reverence — of the Lord is not fearfulness but the foundation of a meaningful, purposeful life. Growing up, I often heard the elders in church say, “God is the head of my life.” At the time, I thought I understood what that meant. But as I grew older, I realized it’s one thing to say...

This lesson— “Teach Us to Pray: The Jesus Way” —begins our series The Way of Prayer. It’s designed to help us rediscover prayer the way Jesus taught His disciples to pray: with intimacy, humility, and alignment with God’s will. Guiding Question When people pray, are they following Jesus’s way of prayer—beginning with relationship and reverence—or are they treating prayer as a wish list for their n...

True self-care is found in alignment—guarding our heart, walking wisely, and trusting God with our growth. Think of your life like a car: when a car is out of alignment, it pulls to one side, wears down the tires, and becomes harder to steer. Even if it looks fine on the outside, the misalignment causes hidden damage over time. The same is true for us—if we’re not aligned with God’s wisdom, we dri...

Parenthood is not about control, but about guiding children toward wisdom, integrity, and trust in God. As parents, guardians, or mentors, we are not called to control outcomes or manufacture perfection. Instead, we are called to train with patience, discipline with love, and model integrity so our children see God’s truth lived out. Like arrows in a quiver, children are meant to be aimed and rele...

The point of today’s lesson is this: The Final Harvest is the fulfillment of God’s promise that all the chaos, hate, and suffering we see around us will not have the last word. Our headlines remind us that wars rage, the environment is strained, hate and division run high, and even our democracy as we know it is at risk —yet God assures us it all ends with His peace, His justice, and His joy. The...

Our Lesson Point is: YIELD—surrender fully to the Lord of the harvest so He can reap through you. Practically, this means relinquishing control and promptly obeying God’s leading so His Word and Spirit bear tangible fruit through your life. I Have 3 Points to make: Isaiah 55:10–11 — “The Word That Works” : God’s Word, like rain and snow, accomplishes His purpose and yields fruit when we yield to i...

“The point for today’s lesson is God’s provision is both rain and ripe fields—obedience positions us to receive and reap (Lev. 26:3–5; John 4:31–38): when we walk in God’s ways He supplies in season, and as we do His will with eyes lifted, He shows us ready opportunities to gather eternal fruit.” I have 3 points Leviticus 26:3–5 — Provision Flows Through Obedience: When God’s people walk in His st...

Faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are spiritual anchors that keep a believer steady in Christ. These fruits grow by intentional effort, the work of the Spirit, and staying rooted in God’s truth. This is the final lesson in our Fruit of the Spirit series. We’ve walked through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness. Now we close with the anchors: faithfulness, gentleness, self-c...

I have a question… How does fruitfulness shape the way we treat others? But first, let’s define fruitfulness . In secular terms, fruitfulness means being productive or achieving positive outcomes. But as Christians, fruitfulness means allowing the Holy Spirit to produce godly character in us—especially in how we love and live with others. Lesson Point: Fruitfulness in Relationships Requires Consis...

The point for today’s lesson is: Love, joy, and peace are cultivated when we stay connected to Christ and let His Spirit shape how we live and how we love. We don’t produce these fruits by force—they grow as a natural result of abiding in Jesus daily. When we walk in the Spirit, we build deeper trust, reduce conflict, communicate with grace, and create more meaningful relationships—with God, ourse...

Today’s Lesson Point is: Spiritual fruit grows from a life led by the Holy Spirit. This means true change happens not by trying harder, but by staying connected to Christ and letting the Spirit shape who we are—from the inside out. This is the first lesson in a 4-part series called "Walking It Out: A Spirit-Led Life," where we’ll explore how the Fruit of the Spirit forms Christlike character and s...

MATTHEW 5:7 Speak to help not hurt.

Mathew 5::7, 9

Matthew 5:7

Today’s Lesson Point is: Mercy and peace aren’t just ideals—they’re daily choices that reflect the heart of God. This means that every day, in how we speak, respond, and treat others, we have the opportunity to show the world what God’s love really looks like. This is final lesson in our Beatitude Series—the Relational Beatitudes, where we will discuss practical ways of improving how you relate to...

The point of today’s lesson is: Seeking God first brings lasting peace and purpose. In today’s scriptures, Jesus teaches that those who deeply desire righteousness and remain faithful under pressure will be filled, protected, and provided for—not by the world, but by God Himself. This is Part 2 of a 3-part lesson on the Beatitudes— Today, we’re focusing on the righteous pursuit Beatitudes—where Je...

The point of today’s lesson is: God blesses those who are humble, honest, and hungry for spiritual growth. Just as Jesus taught in the Beatitudes when He called the poor in spirit, the meek, and those who mourn “blessed” because their hearts are open to God’s transforming grace, He calls us to do the same. This is Part 1 of a 3-part lesson on the Beatitudes—a series about growing in God and living...

The point of today’s lesson is: Surrendering to God brings strength, restoration, and His perfect timing. —because as 1 Peter 5:6–11 teaches, true power comes through humility, and God Himself will exalt and sustain those who trust Him through suffering. I have 3 points: Release the Weight – 1 Peter 5:6–7 : Humble yourself and cast every worry on God because He cares for you. Stay Alert, Stand Fir...

Even when you don’t understand the why , you can trust the Who . Your steady faith teaches your children that God can be trusted through it all. Three Key Points for Fathers: Purpose in Pare...

The Point of Today’s Lesson is: GOD IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THOSE WHO OPPOSE US. Today’s lesson reminds us that no matter the strength or strategy of our enemies, God’s wisdom and power will always prevail—just as He demonstrated through the prophet Elisha and Israel when faced with overwhelming opposition. I have 3 points: He Knows Our Hidden Thoughts // 2 Kings 6:8–12 God’s knowledge is so complet...

The Point of Today’s Lesson is: GOD BLESSES AS WE SERVE OTHERS. When we make ourselves available to meet someone else's need, we become instruments of God's hand—carrying out His divine purpose and often receiving unexpected blessings in return. I have 3 points to make: Look for Opportunities to Be a Blessing (2 Kings 4:8–10) – Like the Shunammite woman, be ready and willing to serve others withou...

The point of today’s lesson is this: God provides for our needs. He is faithful to supply what we lack, but we must respond with faith and obedience to receive His provision. I have 3 points to make: 1. Cry Out to God – 2 Kings 4:1–2 When we’re in need, our first response should be to go to God honestly and expectantly. 2. Follow God’s Instructions – 2 Kings 4:3–4 God’s provision often comes throu...

The point of today’s lesson is GOD INVITES US TO JOIN HIM IN HIS WORK. GOD’S HAND IN CALLING US TO SERVE means He personally chooses, equips, and guides us to accomplish His divine purposes. It is not about our abilities, but about His power working through our willingness to say yes. I have 3 points to make: Relinquish All (1 Kings 19:19-21) – Leave behind anything that keeps you from fully follo...
