    No Greater Shepherd

    Did you hear the true story of the 2-year-old Arizona boy who was rescued to safety earlier this year by a shepherd-dog? Make no mistake, those shepherding instincts didn’t come through evolution— they came from a Creator God who is Himself the Ultimate Shepherd.  In Psalm 23, the Bible informs us and inspires us with the truth that the LORD is our shepherd. So what does the Shepherd provide, and how does Jesus ultimately fulfill this role for us?  (VBS Celebration Sunday: Emerald Crossing)

    The Cost of Following Jesus

    When America’s “Founding Fathers” signed the Declaration of Independence, they knew there was going to be a great cost in breaking from Great Britain, but they didn’t shrink back from embracing that cost. In Luke 9, Jesus talks with three different men who didn’t understand the true cost of following Jesus. What are some of those costs, and how do they still exist today? How can fathers and grandfathers communicate those costs to their families? (Fathers Day 2026)

    Resisting Assimilation

    Today’s Christians need a reminder that America’s culture is not morally neutral. It’s working against God and His truth. And nowhere is that influence more evident than with our children and young people. Today’s culture wants to strip away their biblical values, reprogram them with worldly beliefs, and then assimilate them into the secular machine.   Looking back into history, Daniel and his three friends were put in a similar situation, but they were able to resist assimilation. What are the powerful influences pushing against our young people today, and how can we help them stay devoted to God?

    A Marriage That Made History

    Many people know that Martin Luther impacted Christian doctrine when he broke from the Roman Catholic Church. But did you know that Martin Luther also impacted Christian marriage?  Have you heard the story of how Luther helped 12 nuns escape the church, and how he married one of them?  In Ruth chapter four, the Bible tells us about another monumental marriage, and that was the union of Ruth and Boaz. What happens in the climax to this story, and what lasting effects are still impacting your story in the here and now? (The Book of Ruth, part 5. Conclusion)

    A Daring Act of Faith

    Did you hear about the man who walked across Niagara Falls back in 2012? It was a daring, dramatic, and dangerous walk that was watched live by more than 500 million people.  In Ruth chapter three, the widow Ruth makes her own daring walk, when she goes to see Boaz in a secret midnight meeting. As we watch God’s hand moving in this story, what happens in the unfolding drama, and what insights can you uncover for your own walk of faith? (The Book of Ruth, part 4)

    A Chance Encounter That Wasn't Chance

    American television changed forever when a Cuban man and a red-haired woman met and then merged their professional careers in 1940. Their sitcom, “I Love Lucy” is still considered one of the greatest of all time.  In Ruth chapter 2, the widow Ruth meets a wealthy land-owner named Boaz. But because God is writing this story, their meeting isn’t chance at all. What encouraging insights can you uncover in this text about God’s active involvement in your life? What does God want you to know about your life story?  (The Book of Ruth, part 3)

    Moms Who Change The World

    Did you know that nearly 70% of people who are succeeding with their personal goals, careers, and families— attribute that success to their upbringing in a positive family environment? That statistic certainly underlines the tremendous impact of dads and moms.  One of the most godly moms in the Bible was a woman named Hannah—who would become the mom of the legendary prophet Samuel. What stands out about Hannah’s character and actions?  What are four qualities of moms who change the world? (Mothers Day 2026)

    A Heartbreaking Homecoming

    How do you typically respond when life comes crashing down? Do you complain and sink into a season of despair, or do you turn to the LORD in confidence and trust?  In Ruth chapter one, Naomi returns to her home country after a decade of heavy hardships. What happened to this family, and where was God in all of it? How does God want you to respond when the walls come falling in on you? (The Book of Ruth, part 2)
