Undivided | Week 3 | Ken Miller--Favoritism contradicts faith in Christ, worldly values distort how we view people, and Gospel faith expresses itself through mercy and love.--Notes

Undivided | Week 2 | Ken Miller--Hearing God's word is not the same as obeying it, obedience reveals whether faith is real, and Faith that doesn't act is faith that deceives.--Notes

Lessons From The Life of David | Week 7 |  Mitchell Dorris--Next to David's defeat of Goliath, the story found in this passage is one of the well- known aspects of his life.

Lessons From The Life of David | Week 6 |  Ken Miller--This lesson will cover the early days of David's reign as he attempts to rule his kingdom in a way that honors Yahweh. Having never served as a king before, David has a lot to learn about managing the affairs of state in keeping with Yahweh's commands.--Notes

Lessons From The Life of David | Week 5 |  Mitchell Dorris--As 2 Samuel opens, David is mourning the deaths of Saul and Solomon.

No Other Jesus | Week 5 |  Mitchell Dorris--This weeks lesson focuses on how Christ transforms the everyday parts of life when He's truly at the center. Paul takes us straight into the home, the workplace, and the way we live in front of others. It's a call to live with intentionality and surrender in the places that matter most.

No Other Jesus | Week 4 | Ef Salcedo--This week's lesson is focused on Christ's work in the believer's life which has an outward expression of God's virtues toward others.  

No Other Jesus | Week 3 | Mitchell Dorris--Paul warns against being led astray by persuasive arguments, empty philosophies, or religious rule-keeping that looks spiritual but lacks substance. In Christ, we have everything—we've been made alive, forgiven, and set free from the weight of the law. 

No Other Name | Week 2 | Ef Salcedo--In this week's lesson, Paul continues his emphasis on Jesus' deity and humanity, stressing his own willingness to suffer as Christ did so that the Colossians could experience the full impact of the good news regarding Jesus. For Paul, Jesus was the Son of God in human form, and this difficult to believe reality was the key to their ongoing transformation into His likeness.

No Other Name | Week 1 | Ken Miller--In this week's lesson, Paul gives a powerful lecture on Christ to a group of professing believers. Why does he spend so much time lecturing the faithful on the nature of Jesus? Great question.
