Confessional: Store Up Treasure in Heaven | 1 Timothy 6:17-19

For the Love of Money | 1 Timothy 6:3-10

Confessional: Praying from Worry to Joy | Philippians 4:4-7

Slaves and Masters | 1 Timothy 6:1-2 [Philemon]

This passage applies to our lives today largely among employers and employees. However, the Bible does speak of slaves in the Old Testament (ebed) and the New (dolous). Does the Bible support slavery as we think of it? How does the gospel inform this issue?

Confessional: Sin as Slavery | Romans 6-7

Allen shows us from Romans that sin is really a form of slavery. It is a law that, like gravity, is always exerting itself against us.

The Battle of Flesh vs. Spirit | Galatians 5:16-26 (WBFC College Ministry)

Why Easter Changes Everything | 1 Corinthians 15

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. If Jesus is dead, Christianity is too. However, Jesus is alive and this changes everything!

Confessional: Good Friday | Matthew 27

We look briefly at Passion Week and the events leading up to Jesus' death.

Widows, Feminism, and Motherhood | 1 Timothy 5:9-16

Sometimes challenging passages lead to helpful life application. With a culture that minimizes the significance of motherhood, how can we better prepare future wives and mothers to embrace their God-given roles as they love their husbands and children and manage their homes to the glory of God?

Confessional: The Proverbs 31 Woman

Proberbs 31 is well known for good reason. Jerry Ediger shows us the kind of wife and mother who is to be praised by her husband and children.

Which Widows the Church Should (and Shouldn't) Support | 1 Timothy 5:1-8
