Bible Study with Pastor Lee and Donita Boddie
What legacy will you leave behind when you exit this world? Will you trust God to take the lead in it? Join us as we workshop Genesis 48 to see a biblical approach to legacy.
God is in control at all times. His protection and guidance are continually over those who believe in Him. So, fear not! The Apostle Paul is the poster child for living a fearless life in the name of Christ Jesus. Join us for a workshop of Acts 23.
Power often refers to the ability to control or influence people and events. But true power belongs to and comes from only God--given to us by His Holy Spirit. This power is not derived from human strength and it is transformative. Join us for a compelling workshop of Acts 2.
People can be hard to please. Therefore, ministering to them may be challenging--even for Jesus. And it's often the “religious” who most reject the truth. Join us for a workshop of Luke 4 to see this from Jesus' perspective.
In all humility, let your faith in Christ Jesus move you to do great things for Him. Jesus tells us that our faithful worship and service to Him will have a life-long impact. Join us as we workshop a passage from Mark 14 about one woman's quiet act of great faith!
Luck doesn't exist. That's because the providence of God is always at work, managing the affairs of people, even when they're completely unaware. Join us for a workshop of Esther 6 -- a great testament to God's providence!
There is a significant difference between Christ-centered living and religious living. Christ-centered living is about being yoked to Jesus. His yoke is far more fulfilling than the yoke of religion. Join us for a workshop from Matthew 11.

The faith walk is very much an amazing race. But you will need to be prepared for it--it is sometimes difficult and the road can start to feel like an obstacle course. In this episode, you will find great encouragement from a workshop of Hebrews 12.
The world is full of communities. The most important community to the Christian, is the kingdom of the LORD. As invited members of that kingdom, we have certain obligations. Join us for a workshop of Daniel 9 for a great example of love for God's community.
What does it mean to be a good citizen? First, you must submit to your government. Yes, even when you don't like the government. Join us for a workshop of Romans 13 to hear what God says about this through the Apostle Paul.
In an evil world, it is easy to feel unsafe and unprotected. But this is precisely where the beauty of God's love prevails. Need some encouragement? Join us for a workshop from John 17!

Names are relational, unique and purposeful. But there is one name that stands above EVERY other. A name that every single person will ultimately utter. How is that for famous? Join us for a workshop of Philippians 2:5-11.
Taking a stand against fools and foolishness is an act of courage. It requires even greater courage for those who society typically silences. There are wonderful biblical examples of the least and the weakest in society, taking on the greatest, as the LORD God leads them. Join us for a compelling workshop of 1 Samuel 25!
The truth of The Gospel of Jesus Christ is fixed--it cannot be designed by our own desires or perceptions. Instead, the truth forces every believer to be courageous, while accepting that they have been crucified with Him. And this truth is so much better than a lie. Join us for a workshop from Mark 8!
What are you willing to give up to stay in the center of God's will? At some point in our Christian walk we are all called to some form of suffering and sacrifice. How will you handle it? Join us for a workshop from Philippians 1.

Stories have played an essential role in our social discourse since the beginning of time. In fact, creation itself is a beautiful love story that connects us to God. Join us for a workshop that goes back to the beginning of the story in Genesis 1.
Shadows take on form, but they are not the true object. The Old Covenant (and its law) was a shadow of the New Covenant under Christ Jesus - it could not remove sin. Only one covenant can remove sin. Join us for a workshop from Hebrews 10 to learn more.
This season of celebration is a great time to consider what it means to be content. Also, why does contentment matter, and how do we get it? Join us for a workshop of Ecclesiastes 5, for biblical answers to these questions!
Chaos and suffering are among life's greatest challenges. People are often brought to a standstill in their faith journey, as they try to understand why God allows certain difficulties. Join us for a workshop from Luke 24 to see how to make sense out of nonsense.
Political seasons bring societal problems front and center. But, societal problems are not really political at all—they are spiritual. Political loyalties should never be stronger than our loyalty as one in Christ. Join us for a workshop from Mark 12.

What does the word “servant” mean to you? Is it someone who's under the thumb of another? Someone living at life's lowest level? Do these words come to mind: giver, kind and considerate. Let us theologically shape this word for you with a workshop passage from Matthew 14.
Being saved does not mean you will experience God's power in your every day life. If you want to get more of God's power, your capacity has to expand. Join us for a workshop of Ephesians 3 to learn how!
In a world of different beliefs, is there really only one way that leads to God? Yes, because God says so in His Word. Join us as we workshop 1 John 4.
Things aren't always as they seem. Hopelessness is a feeling not a fact. Are you ready for when God shows up? Join us for a workshop of Ezekiel 37.

Nice is fine. But, it is an obstacle if it prevents you from telling the truth. Healthy relationships are rooted in truth. Join us for a workshop of 2 Samuel 12 to see how to love with the truth.
What is forgiveness really? There is arguably nothing more important. Join us for a workshop of 1 John 1 to get a handle on the truth about forgiveness.
