The Sunday Sessions

Jesus was born to offer salvation to all people. Unless we understand the events of Easter, it’s impossible to grasp the heart of Christmas.

The good news of Jesus' birth should lead us to a response of joy. Let's allow that joy to lead to joyful worship as we're reminded about Who God is and what He's done.

Mary's response serves as an example for us to follow. God wants us to surrender our lives to Him completely.

God's people were living in dark times. But God always keeps His promises, and a child was about to be born who would prepare the way for the One who is the Light of the World.

In Christ, we can give thanks in all circumstances. But why should we be thankful and what can we be thankful for?

If we're not careful, it's easy to pass over the things we can truly be thankful for. God's Word reminds us that we can give thanks in all circumstances.

Reflections on Roles, Responsibilities, and Relationships of Church Leaders.

Contentment doesn't come naturally. It's learned as we grow in our relationship with Christ.

Christians are called to live holy lives. What does it mean to be holy, because God is holy? How can we walk in holiness?

Unity is essential if the church is going to be healthy, experience the right king of growth, and achieve the mission God has given us. Jesus prayed for unity, and the apostle Paul repeatedly taught on the importance of unity throughout the New Testament.

Healthy marriages cannot grow or be enjoyed without carefulness, hard work, communication, and sacrifice.

In submitting to one another, we are loving each other like Christ loves the Church. Submission is just as much a part of the Christian life as the practice of worship or the posture of thankfulness.

This week, we will look at the Bible says about singleness. If you do desire to get married, what are some important characteristics that you need to look for in a spouse?

As parents, we are called to accept our children's uniqueness, affirm their value, and trust them with more responsibility. We should raise our children according to their bent.

As parents, we should help our children understand the "why" behind their behavior. Behavior is always an issue of the heart.

Teaching your children to obey your authority will prepare them to obey God's authority. You should think of your home as a laboratory for learning.

The most important factor in parenting is having a sincere faith in Jesus. Parenting is not about perfection, it's about relying on a perfect Savior. Faith is caught as well as taught.

In times of waiting, God alone leads us, God alone encourages us, and God alone is worthy of trust.

Psalm 51 is a Psalm of repentance (we see the honest heart of a broken man crying out to God). But it's also a Psalm of mercy and grace, revealing the unchanging nature of our perfectly good God.

In this life we will have troubles. But we can take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. Psalm 46 reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, our true source of joy, and that He is still on the throne!

God's answer for the thirsty soul is to put your hope in Jesus.

If you truly understand how much you’ve been forgiven in Christ, there’s nothing that can be done against you that you should not be willing to forgive. Forgiven people are forgiving people.

The letter of Philemon was written as a plea to Paul's dear friend Philemon on behalf of one of his new friends and brother in Christ, Onesimus. This plea gives us insight into how we can live for Jesus and be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us.

Your fingerprints are all over the people you serve, true ministry takes a team, and as you grow in your faith, God will give you more opportunities to put your faith to work.

1 in 4 Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder. What can we do...if anything? We can help carry each other's burdens by listening, empathizing, and supporting.
