Practice What You Preach
One of the greatest challenges in the Christian life is the gap between knowing and doing. As we strive to bridge that gap, we do not just want to do the right thing. We want doing the right thing to become second nature for us and for others to see Jesus because of that.
Cause and Effect
As we continue to learn to understand grief, we consider some causes of grief, effects of grief and how God responds to both.
Under Pressure
This week we look at tempting and testing. They have different sources and different intended results. Understanding those differences can help us through many situations and can help our relationship with God to grow deeper.

Redwoods
We conclude our series about the church this week. We have asked this question during each lesson: “What does a church member do?” This week we talk about how a church member must grow.
How We Grow
In the first lesson in this series, we learned that God expects us to grow. This week, we talk about the ways that we can grow.
Belonging
Most people want a place to belong. Those who follow Jesus find that and much more. In Luke 9, we look at several things that come as a result of following Jesus and what that means for us as church members.
