James 3:1-12 - The Power Of Words



In 2017, while struggling with depression, 15-year-old Molly Russell took her life. During the dark struggle, she turned to social media for help. Before her suicide, she interacted with over 2,100 posts about suicide and self-harm on Facebook and Instagram. The words of the posts convinced her that instead of seeking help, she should take her life. Recently a British court held Meta, Facebook’s parent group, liable for her death because of the words they chose not to censor. As we begin our series on taming the tongue, we learn what the Bible says about the power of words and the importance of using every word we speak to honor God in our life.

1 Samuel 31 - The King Is Dead



Queen Elizabeth died on September 8, 2022. She was the longest-reigning British monarch. An estimated 250,000 people visited her casket, and representatives from 168 countries attended her funeral. The queen’s funeral was the most-watched television event in the twenty-first century. It is an understatement to say the queen’s death was a big deal. As we finish 1 Samuel, we come to the death of King Saul. After a 40-year reign, his death led to a national crisis. Join us as we look at King Saul’s death and what we can learn about living and dying well.

Genesis 37 - Providence




Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Why is suicide so common? People lose hope. It doesn't take long for a financial nightmare to snowball. Life is hard and we will have times when we see no hope for the future. As we begin our study in the life of Joseph, we find why Christians always have hope, no matter the darkness of their future.
