This week in our Wednesday morning Bible class we began studying the 12th chapter of Hebrews. There is so much to absorb from this chapter that we could spend the better part of a month on it. Starting in verse three, the writer begins to talk about God’s discipline. He compares it to that of our earthly father. We can all remember times as children when we messed up and had to be disciplined. At the time, it was unpleasant but as we grew older, we began to understand that ou

This past month in our Christian Soldiers Sunday morning classes, we have been studying the story of Abraham. We have learned how God called him to leave his homeland and go to a place that God would show him. We learned how God made him a promise that he would be the father of many nations and how God would bless the whole Earth through his descendants. We learned how God asked him to sacrifice Issac his son, and how Abraham was willing to follow though with it. Throughout t

Last week we introduced our theme in the youth group for 2025, “Set Apart”. One of the many ways that we can be set apart from the world is to choose to follow God instead of following the crowd. Often, we are faced with a decision of whether to do what everyone else is doing or to do what God has commanded us to do. Following the crowd is usually convenient. It rarely requires any effort or sacrifice. It certainly is the easiest decision but not always the right one. In the

This year our theme for the youth group is “Set Apart.” We are using I Peter 2:9 for our theme verse, which says “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” God calls us to be different than the rest of the world. We are called to talk differently, act differently, have different relationships, and be set apart from the world. How

Next Sunday, we are going to start an exciting new opportunity! We talk a lot about giving and how we can never out give God. This is something that we need to teach our children. We should be teaching them how important it is to give back to God especially since we are so richly blessed here in the United States. So many of our brethren throughout the world are not as fortunate as we are. That is why I am excited to announce that starting next Sunday, we are going to begin K

Every day of our lives we are faced with choices to make. We choose when to get out of bed, what to eat for breakfast, and what we are going to wear that day. Life is full of choices but sometimes we make poor choices. In Genesis chapter 13, Abram and Lot are facing a dilemma. There is not enough room for all of their livestock, so they choose to separate. Abram gives Lot the first choice of where to go. Lot can choose anywhere around them to move to and Abram will go in the

Today our kids studied the story of the tower of Babel. It’s a familiar story, but one that we probably don’t think about very often. In it, the people decide to build a great city and in the middle of that city they begin to build a tower to Heaven. They say to themselves in verse four of chapter 11 “Come let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose tope is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole Earth.” Th

For the month of November out Christian Soldiers group has been studying Noah. The story of Noah is a familiar one to most of us but there are so many lessons that we can learn from it. It is a story of Faith, Action, Obedience, Grace, and Love. This morning, they focused on how Noah put his faith into action. Noah didn’t just have faith that God would save him from the flood and then sit on his hands he acted on that faith and started to build the ark. This is such a great l

This past weekend we took three of our teens to the FUEL youth retreat at Gulf Coast Bible Camp. It was a fantastic weekend, and I know that they were blessed by being there. This year’s theme was “the between”. We studied the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus but focused specifically on the Saturday between the two events. Scripture does not give us much information of what went on during that time, but our focus was on the emotions of the Apostles and what they were goi

Today our Christian Soldiers group started studying Noah in there Sunday morning class. We will spend four weeks on Noah. There is so much packed into this story. It is a story that we are all familiar with. We learned it early in Sunday school and VBS but sometimes as we grow older, we forget the great lessons of the “Bible class” stories. The story of Noah is filled with lessons that are practical for us today. The Bible tells us in Hebrews the eleventh chapter that Noah ha
