Why DOESN’T the BIBLE make sense to EVERYONE?
May 2, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 3:7–16
Why are so many people confused when they hear the good news about Jesus? Why is it that someone can read the Bible and yet it makes no sense to them? Why is Nicodemus having a difficult time understanding what Jesus is telling him about being born again? Why are people afraid they might not be saved because of their past that they can’t get over? Join us today to find out!
BORN AGAIN: From Spiritual DEATH To Spiritual LIFE
April 18, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 3:7–8
We know people who all their life wanted nothing to do with God. But then one day – EVERYTHING changes. Suddenly the good news of Jesus makes sense to them. Suddenly they WANT to follow Him. But what happened? It’s as if they were spiritually dead and then became spiritually alive. Join us today as we see what Jesus says happened as we continue in the Gospel of John.
What Does the BIBLE Say About UFOs?
April 11, 2024 • Lisa Laisure • John 3:3
Recently there have been more and more UFO or UAP sightings. Should we be concerned about what people are seeing? What are they? Extraterrestrials in spaceships coming to our planet? What does the Bible have to say about this? Join us as we continue in the Gospel of John.
Is your CHURCH CODDLING or PREPARING you for what is coming?
March 28, 2024 • Lisa Laizure
Times are changing and because of that, Pastors should be teaching the Bible. Pastors should be preparing their people to stand up amidst persecution. Pastors should be telling people what Jesus said it means to follow Him which consists of counting the cost. Taking up our cross. Seeking His Kingdom over ours. Is that what we are hearing on Sunday mornings?
If You Are Born Again… This SHOULD Be Happening.
March 21, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 3:1–3
Today we are going to see that being born again spiritually is a lot like being born as a baby physically. It takes time to grow up. Years in fact. The same is true with a spiritual born again birth. Join us today as we continue in the Gospel of John
Why Many Professing Christians Might Be UNSAVED BELIEVERS
March 14, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 2:23–25, John 3:1
Why is it that so many people who claim to be Christians act no different than non-Christians? Why are our churches so divided? Why is there so much anger, bitterness, sexual sin, and gossip going on among professed Christians? Well…it could be that these people claiming to be Christians aren’t really Christians. They might be “unsaved believers.” Today we will hear this from Jesus Himself as He teaches 2 parables that remind us that in the church there will be true born-again believers and false, unsaved believers. Then we will talk about what a true Born-Again Christian actually looks like! Join us today as we continue in the gospel of John.
Do you “BELIEVE“ in Jesus or are you “BORN AGAIN”?
March 7, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 2:18–25
Jesus said we must be born again but we live in a time where cultural Christianity is prevalent. We are told that to become a Christian all you have to do is believe in Jesus, pray a sinners prayer, or accept Christ into your heart. But is that what the BIBLE says? Is that what JESUS says? Join us today to see what being born again should look like.
When Jesus said “Enough is Enough”
February 22, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 2:1–16
Sometimes, we have this view of Jesus that He was meek, mild, and always cheerful and happy. But that isn’t the biblical picture of Jesus. There were times when Jesus was angry. Righteously angry. Today, we see this as He takes a whip and clears out the Temple because the Religious Leaders had become about greed and not God. Then, we will discuss how that plays out regarding our modern-day Christian churches today.
FOLLOWING JESUS and ALCOHOL
February 1, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 1:43—2:3
What does it mean to follow Jesus? Is it like clicking the “follow” button on Facebook and now you and Jesus are friends? Or does Jesus expect more from us? Then let’s talk about alcohol. Are Christians allowed to drink? What does the Bible say? Join us today for the answer to that question as we study Jesus’ miracle of turning water into wine.
What SHOULD Happen After BAPTISM?
January 18, 2024 • Lisa Laizure • John 1:22–41
What exactly is baptism? Do I have to get baptized to be saved? Is being sprinkled as a baby considered being baptized? Is everyone who is baptized actually saved? But a more important question is this: What should be happening after I get baptized? That’s a lot of questions that we will answer today as we continue through the Gospel of John.
Being Born of God is LIFE-CHANGING
November 9, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • John 1:13–23
If you were a Volkswagen and you wanted to become a Cadillac – what would you have to do? Would you be considered a Cadillac if you put a Cadillac emblem on your Volkswagen or does something else have to happen? Today we will learn a valuable lesson about what it means to be born of God by that illustration and what we will see is how being born of God is directly related to Jesus stepping out of heaven and coming to this earth. Join us today as we continue through the Gospel of John.
Jesus Light Switch: On or Off?
October 5, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • John 1:1–12
Jesus came to this world to give us light. Spiritual light. But it is our responsibility to turn that light on and when we do the world should look different. We should look different! Join us today as we meet John the Baptist who was given the job of pointing people to the light. We will also talk about the Trinity - one God in 3 Persons and try and make that easy to understand!
Living in a BROKEN WORLD
September 14, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • John 1:1
Here is why we study the Bible: because life changes. We like life when it changes for the good, but when it changes for the bad we need something to cling to. Something to give us hope and peace. Join us for Lesson 2 in the book of John as we see why reading the Bible is so important for living life in a broken world.
