What does God say about our right to self-defense (loosely based on the 2nd Amendment)?
God calls us to live at peace with everyone, to turn the other cheek, and to love our enemies. In an ideal world, we'd be able to diffuse every violent situation with the love of Christ. But in the real world, violence is sometimes thrust upon us.
In this Bible study, we explore what the Bible says about our right to defend ourselves and our families, and the important limitations that surround that idea.
Part 2 of this class explores what the Bible teaches us about the right to privacy.

God's Heart for the Outsiders
September 2, 2020
God has always heart a heart for the outsiders. From the time of Israel to the ministry of Jesus, God has always given special honor to the men, women and children in society who tend to be overlooked. In this Bible study, we explore what it means to treat everyone with dignity, decency, and respect--no matter their background.
Christ the Redeemer
August 26, 2020
Jesus promises that when he sets us free, we are free indeed. But is he freeing us from? And what does it mean that Jesus is our Redeemer? We invite you to join us for this week's Bible study that will look into these questions using the Old and New Testaments. We hope you'll fall more in love with Jesus as you hear about the price he paid to purchase our freedom from sin.
What Christians Get Right (And Wrong) About Freedom
August 19, 2020
In our culture, freedom is often associated with the absence of a master or authority telling us what to do. We feel we can't be free if we have to answer to anyone but ourselves. The Bible gives us a fundamentally different understanding of what freedom really means. In tonight's Bible study, we'll be exploring two key passages from Scripture that teach us an important truth about freedom: everyone has a master, but not ever master has our best interest in mind. True freedom is found when we are freed from our slavery to sin and choose to follow Jesus as our new master.
