1 Corinthians 11:17-34. What does it mean to take the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner or to eat and drink judgment on yourself? This study by Evangelist Brent Dyer examines Paul's warning about eating and drinking the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner.

1 Corinthians 1:18-31. In his letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul wrote that there are two responses to “the message of the cross.” In this study from 1 Corinthians 1, Evangelist Jacob Holman considers these two responses to the message of the cross and what they mean for each of us.

We all have an inherent, ceaseless desire for more. For many, that becomes a desire for more money, status, and stuff. In the pursuit of contentment, we may try to squash that desire, but what if we redirect it to something better? This study from Evangelist Brent Dyer is about choosing to be dissatisfied with where we are spiritually as a way to overcome complacency. We can redirect our desire for more into a pursuit that is never finished: Pursuing God.

While Christ calls all of us to be servants, just as He is, some in His body serve in a special, unique way. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman looks at three key thoughts Scripture teaches us about God's special servants - deacons.

Genesis 12:1-3. Have you ever wondered, "Why did God put this in the Bible?" If we don't understand the big picture, some Bible passages can seem irrelevant and even boring. But, when we look at the larger narrative of the Bible, each passage adds something to the harmony of praise for the God we serve. In this study, Evangelist Brent Dyer traces the promises to Abraham through the whole Bible to help us see the proof of God's faithfulness.

Exodus 20:12. We live in a world where 'honor" often isn't expected, shown, taught, or valued as much as it once was. God speaks often in His word of "honor." In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines what God says about honoring our mothers.

Habakkuk 3:17-19. If someone got married just because they wanted kids or companionship, we would say that they did not truly love their spouse. Similarly, Jesus offers us salvation, unconditional love, purpose, and protection, but if we don't truly love God, we have missed the point of his blessings. In this study, Evangelist Brent Dyer looks at cultivating a genuine love for God and offers practical tips for increasing our love for God.

2 Corinthians 5:17. The Apostle Paul, in his writings to the Corinthians, said, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature,” and that “all things have become new.” In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman uses Paul’s words - "all things new" - from 2 Corinthians as a springboard to consider three "new" things life in Christ brings.

The greatest threat to a church is unresolved conflict. In the book of Philemon, Paul pleads on behalf of Onesimus that Philemon would be reconciled to Onesimus. In this study, Evangelist Brent Dyer examines Paul’s method of peacemaking between Philemon and Onesimus in order to resolve church conflict.

Romans 12:3-8. To a diverse First Century church, Paul emphasized the message that in Christ Jesus, "we are one." This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman examines that precious truth and helps us see what “being one” means for us today.

If we only had to be disciples of Jesus one day a week or every once in a while, it would be easy. However, He has called us to be His disciples every day for the rest of our lives, and that can be difficult. This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman considers three demands of daily discipleship.

2 Corinthians 4:7-5:10. “We have this treasure in jars of clay.” Our earthly bodies, troubled by weakness, display to the world the power of God in us and remind us of our longing to be clothed in eternal life. This second study in 2 Corinthians 4 and 5 by Evangelist Brent Dyer, investigates God’s power, the life of Jesus, and the hope of eternal life as motivation for boldness and perseverance in the life of a Christian.

I Samuel 16:7. While we see the things, people, and circumstances of our world every day, so does God. But the way He sees is often different from the way we see. After God rejected Saul as king of Israel, Samuel is sent to anoint the next king. This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman considers God’s words to Samuel that, "God sees not as man sees."

2 Corinthians 2:1 – 7:16. Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians about a treasure in clay jars (2 Cor 4:7). He made a distinction between a vessel and its contents. With this lesson, we begin a study of 2 Corinthians. This study of 2 Corinthians 2-7 by Evangelist Brent Dyer focuses on the treasure, which is the gospel message, and what this treasure demands from us.

Col. 1:24-29. We all set goals for our personal lives. Of all the worthwhile goals we can pursue in life, the most important is that of reaching maturity in Jesus Christ. This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman focuses on two "big picture" points from Scripture that help us pursue that goal.

Vernon White is an Elder with the Anderson, Indiana congregation. He recently traveled to Colombia to preach the Gospel. In this lesson, Evangelist Vernon White shared some of his experiences in Colombia.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Our culture today is not all that different from what Paul writes about in this passage. This study will remind Christians of where we once were, and if we're not a Christian, it will show us where we are now. This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman is relevant whether one is "in" Christ or not, it applies to us all.

We often focus our teaching on how to respond to God. This sermon goes one step back to answer: Who is God that we should respond to Him? This study by Evangelist Brent Dyer looks at several passages to inspire awe and worship for the awesome, faithful, terrifying, and loving God we serve.

Psalm 47. Even though our world may appear to be in chaos and rapidly spinning out of control, it is not no matter what may happen. In this study by Evangelist Jacob Holman, we remind ourselves of what the psalmist wrote so long ago that, as the King of the earth, God is firmly in control.

When we see people “in need” - physically, mentally, emotionally, or relationally, do we only see life’s necessities, or do we see their greatest need? This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman considers the greatest need of all and some people who need the Lord Jesus Christ.
