We move past the children’s book version of the life of Samson to see how a hidden weakness that is unaddressed will always lead to a public downfall. Often times we want to put forward the areas of our lives that others will find impressive but if we ignore the things we try to hide, they have a way of becoming exposed in the worst ways.

Join us in this study on the world’s strongest man who struggled with a huge weakness.

As we do our “Bible in 90 Days” challenge, our studies will explore more deeply a nugget found in the Scripture reading from that week.

In this study, we go deeper into a repeating theme in the reading on God being all about restoration. We go deeper into a season in the life of Jacob where he was acting in fear but once he leaned into God, had his entire family, protection, and provision restored in an awesome way.

If you are in place where you are afraid or acting in “damage control” mode, dig into this study to be reminded of God’s promises, testimonies, and goodness. Doing so leads to confidence in the Lord, moving in faith, and restoring your hope!

What do you do when someone you love is falling back into a pattern of sin?

How do you handle it when you find out someone has been gossiping about you?

How do you act with someone who left your church in a hurtful way?

All of these questions have to do with church discipline. In this study, we explore why church discipline is critical, what it’s goals should be, and the freedom it can lead to. It’s not an easy topic. Actually, it’s one many would like to avoid (which we also explore) but when we ignore church discipline, it leaves a trail of pain and hurt behind that push many away from church all together.

We invite you to take a fresh look at church discipline and what your part is in the process (Hint: It’s not just the pastor’s job).

In this study, we explore how the Bible came to be. (Spoiler Alert: It has nothing to do with the Council of Nicea).

As we do, we find that God goes through incredible lengths to give us His Word, protect His Word, and speak to us through His Word. We look at the validation of the Scripture and how we know it’s the Word of God.

This also serves as the set up for our 2017 Summer Challenge at The Shepherd’s Fellowship (see that video on our church Youtube page).

For Mother’s Day, we did a study on two of many women of faith and what we can learn about them if we want to be people of influence in the lives of others (including our children).

We also found a reason why we can all celebrate on Mother’s Day even if we did not have positive moms, made some mistakes ourselves, are dealign with infertility, or have experienced the loss of a parent.
