Once Upon a Time?

1 Peter 1:16, 1 Timothy 1:3-4, 4:7, 2 Timothy 4:1-4, Titus 1:10-14, John 1:1-3, 14, Genesis 1:1, Revelation 21:1,5

Richard Peifer

Join us as Richard Peifer shares scripture regarding myth and truth. The Bible clearly recognizes that myth exists, and warns us to stay away from it. We cannot prove that God created the heavens and earth; but as it states in Hebrews, by faith we understand that the worlds were created of God. It's important to realize that God created the heavens and the earth. If this is only a myth, then as a byproduct, there is no God; there is no Jesus; and there is no salvation. If Creation is simply a myth, the human race is without hope.

It Happened

Acts 2:24, 4:33, 17:18, 32, Romans 1:1-4, 1 Corinthians 15:13-14

Bob Christopher

Join us as Bob Christopher begins the Resurrection series. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the centerpiece to Christianity. The resurrection differentiates Christianity from all other religions. Resurrection needs to be more than a mere fact in our lives, rather, a way of life. With resurrected life, it's not just the same life being brought back after death, but the body raised to a new life. Knowing this, how can we make it central to our lives? How do we import the truth into our daily living? Do we really believe that Jesus rose again three days later after He was crucified? What do you believe?

Service: The Body Reaches Out

John 11:38-44, Hebrews 10:19-25, Philippians 2:12-18, Matthew 5:14-16

Richard Peifer

Join us as Richard Peifer talks about service. What does service look like? We are compelled through the Holy Spirit to help the dead outside of Christ come to Jesus. As with Lazarus, who needed his grave clothes removed by others when Jesus called him out, so do some of us need help in having our grave clothes removed. We are not compelled to go have people clean up in order to come to Christ, but to simply be a vessel that the light of God, Jesus, can shine through, offering hope to this dark world that we live in.

Gifts: The Body Grows Strong

1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12:1-8, Ephesians 4:1-16

Richard Peifer

Join us as Richard Peifer shares the reason for the Gifts of the Spirit. There are numerous gifts that the Holy Spirit gives to the Body of Christ. The gifts are for edifying and growing the body. Gifts are not earned, nor are they taken back. Why? I Corinthians tells us that manifestation of the Spirit is for the common good. We belong to Christ, but we also belong to each other. The gifts are given to equip us for works of service to build up the Body of Christ. Our goal is to reach unity in the faith and become mature. Have we reached that goal? Allow the Holy Spirit to work in us today!

Fellowship: The Body is Defined

2 Peter 1:4, Eph. 5:11, 4:32, 1 Cor. 1:9, Romans 6:8, 8:17, 15:7, 2 Cor 13:14, Philemon 17, Phil 1:7, 1 John 1:3, John 13:34-35, Col 3:13

Richard Peifer

Join us as Richard Peifer shares the beginning of his series: Fellowship. Three key points of being in fellowship with God and the Body of Christ are Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness. When we are in fellowship with the Body, it's more than a casual conversation; it's intense. As God had fellowship with Adam and Eve in the beginning, so He desires that same intensity with us. In the early start of the Church, the Christians devoted themselves to the Apostle's teaching, and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. These are three separate parts the disciples were devoted to. Are we just as devoted?
