“Can He Depend on You?”
Can Jesus depend upon us as his servants? Can he depend upon us to 1) Help the needy? 2) Live for Him? 3) Teach the Gospel? Each should know their responsibilities as Christians to help the poor, live in a Christian way, and teach others the gospel. In this lesson, I hope that each would understand that while God does not depend upon us in an existential sense, he does depend upon us, by his choice, to do what he commands us to do.

The Dragon Wars with the Saints
Satan is waging a war with God’s people with two primary weapons: 1) Humanly Devised Power, and 2) Humanly Devised Religion. The hearer should understand that Revelation 13 describes the war that Satan wages against God’s people. I hope that we will learn to recognize the true nature of the war and oppose the enemy.
-
Does It Matter What We Believe?
It matters what we believe because 1) Beliefs Produce Actions, 2) Actions Result in Consequences, 3) Happiness Results. Each should be concerned with believing the right things and understanding how not believing the right things is detrimental to our spiritual welfare.

Surviving or Living
Jesus came to bring the abundant life (John 10:10). Jesus doesn’t want us to just survive—He wants us to live! The key to living is putting spiritual things first in our lives.
-
Are we judged on our knowledge of the New Testament only?
All the scriptures are profitable for me. However, we don’t appeal to the Old Testament to determine forms of worship, the organization of the church, or the plan of salvation. However, the Old Testament can supply us information on correct attitudes, wisdom, teach us concerning faith, and provide a great deal of background information regarding the New Testament.

Please Explain Matthew 5:23-25.
Remember that the Mosaic Law was a legal system used by the Jews of Jesus’ day to settle legal matters of state. Jesus was saying that for one to worship God appropriately, he needs to resolve such legal conflicts first. This is necessary prior to making offerings of peace toward God. One cannot be at odds with his brother and at peace with God.
-
Goals and Objectives of the Spiritual Family
In this lesson, we will discuss 1) what it means to have goals and objectives, 2) failures of the past to pursue spirituality, 3) the one and only goal of the spiritual family, to effect spiritual transformation. Each hearer should understand that whatever is done in life should be done to pursue spiritual transformation. That each listener would understand the need for spiritual transformation.

Groundhog Day
The groundhog is right only 39 percent of the time, yet he keeps trying. Not all will respond to the gospel (Luke 13:23-24), but like Jesus, we must never give up.
-
Jesus is the Message for our Friends
In this lesson we will study about talking about Jesus to our friends and finding constructive ways to do this. Each hearer will learn how to talk to their friends about Jesus in a constructive way. This lesson is designed to help us be more evangelistic.
-
The Blood that Speaks of Better Things
In this lesson, we will study of the blood of Christ and that it speaks about 1) The Church, 2) Salvation, and 3) Responsibility. Each hearer should understand the significance of the blood of Christ. I hope to help people think more about the blood of Christ during the Lord’s Supper.

Truth is Granular
Sometimes we overgeneralize and jump to conclusions. This is a bad practice.
-
God’s Word Gives Us Direction
God’s word gives us direction 1) For Our Soul, 2) For The Problem of Sin, 3) For Our Attitudes. Each hearer will study and learn more about the word of God from Psalm 119. We should let God’s word direct our lives.
-
“Just As I Am”
Jesus bids us 1) Come to Him, 2) Be Clean from Sin, 3) Confide in Him, 4) Cling to Him. In this lesson, we will think about the words to the song “Just As I Am.” We will think about how Jesus desires us to be saved and our response to His invitation. I hope to encourage each person to think seriously about Jesus’ invitation to salvation and respond.

Spring Gospel Meeting – Jesus: Our Hope – With Phil Sanders
This is an opportunity for us to practice the great commission of Jesus. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
-
The Blessings of Being a Child of God
To be a child of God is to have the blessing of: 1) Forgiveness, 2) Family 3) A Father 4) Felicity. Each should be encouraged in knowing that they are children of God. I hope to use fatherhood as an illustration of what it means to be a child of God.
-
The Danger of Apathy
In this lesson, we will discuss the danger of apathy and how to address it. The hearer should understand the causes of apathy and what he can do about it. I want to address how apathy hinders the church.
-
Pleasure in Unrighteousness
People have long sought to justify their desires to pursue a life of pleasure and invented many rationalizations along the way. One of these rationalizations is the doctrine of salvation by faith only. It is one of the greatest lies repeated today.

Why Do We Partake of the Lord’s Supper Every First Day of the Week?
Luke 24:1ff? Our meeting upon the first day of the week is not by accident nor by arbitrary selection. There are some scriptures which specifically mention the first day of the week and there are other scriptures in which the first day of the week is implied. Let's look at these scriptures and see what we can gain in understanding from them.
