In the Book of Galatians, Paul challenges us to “keep in step” with the Spirit. To communicate this biblical truth, he uses an interesting word in the Greek - stoicheo. This word references a military command to form a straight line or to march in ordered rows and can also be applied to a group of dancers. African stepping which is popular today finds its origins in a combination of military close order formations and exhibition drills. Soldiers drill for hours and learn to obey both visual and spoken commands. Drill instructors teach them to march and move in a way that is completely unfamiliar. Not only do they learn to keep in step individually, but they learn to function as a unit. And so it is in the Christian life. When we receive Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells us and He sets the line and pace for us to follow. At first the Spirit-filled life is foreign to us so we must learn how to be led by the Spirit; how to “keep in step” with Him. We must learn how to be sensitive to His voice, listen for His commands, heed His warnings and follow closely after Him. More importantly, being in step with the Spirit is not only crucial to the individual life of the believer, but Paul makes it clear to you and to me that to truly keep in step with the Spirit, we must also be in step with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In battle, the soldier that broke rank, not only endangered himself, he endangered all of his fellow soldiers. So too are we a danger to the church when we are “out of step” with the Body of Christ. This study is designed to encourage, equip and empower you to “keep in step” with the Spirit. Whether you are a new or seasoned believer in Christ, the truths of God’s Word are sure to meet you right where you are at. We all need more of the Spirit in our lives and whether these truths come as new and fresh or glorious reminders, our spiritual life will benefit tremendously as we seek to follow hard after the Spirit and the abundant life that is promised to every believer. Now it’s time to “take a step” to “keep in step”!

You may remember a television show called, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", which made its debut in 1984. The show featured the extravagant lifestyles of wealthy entertainers, athletes and business entrepreneurs. Their wealth influenced to a large degree the way in which they lived. If you were to look up the definition of the word “lifestyle” in a dictionary, it would be defined as a way of life or a style of living that reflects the values and attitudes of a person or group. Take for example the individual who lives a “healthy” lifestyle. From the food they eat to the physical exercise they employ, the way they live is based on their values and attitudes with a focus on health. Scripture teaches us that the lifestyle of a Christian is holiness as we follow Christ.We see this lifestyle clearly laid out for us in the books of 1st and 2nd Peter. Peter lived in close proximity to Jesus Christ for more than three years, learning from His example and what it looked like to live in holiness amidst a hostile world. Peter calls Christians to “sanctify Christ as Lord” in their hearts, that believers might live and act as Jesus desires during their short time here on earth. Answer God's call to the "Set Apart" life and passionately seek to embrace a lifestyle of holiness in this challenging eight week study.

How to Be a Godly Woman in Today's Culture: A Study in the Book of Titus

Every woman has a story. Every woman has a struggle. Every woman has a promise of victory. God has given us the examples of women in the Bible who walked victoriously with Him. Women, very much like you and me, who didn’t have it all together, but loved God. His love saw them through trials, painful circumstances and struggles and brought about His perfect will in their lives. We make a grievous error when we believe that the women in the Bible are somehow irrelevant to the lives we are living today. These women were meant to be our heroines, our comrades and our closest friends. Their lives stand as a testimony to the power of God’s love and faithfulness. This study is a tribute to the women in the Old Testament, who knew their God and understood His love and they leave a legacy of victory. They trusted, obeyed and were faithful during hard and difficult times and we have much to learn from their example. As we uncover each woman’s story, her struggle and victory, may it forever change our lives and may we too be more than “victorious” through Him who loves us.

Victorious: Lessons from Old Testament Women Who Walked Victoriously with God

Every woman has a story. Every woman has a struggle. Every woman has a promise of victory. This study is a tribute to the women in the New Testament, whose lives were touched and forever changed by Jesus. Some of these women you will meet by name, others will be known by their situation. Their very raw and personal stories demonstrate the power of Christ to conquer anything that seeks to come against the victory that is ours in Him. As we dig deep into each woman’s encounter with Jesus, our hearts will be radically changed and compelled to follow Him with nothing less than all of our lives. We make a grievous error when we believe that the women in the Bible are somehow irrelevant to the lives we are living today. Nothing could be further from the truth. Though times may have changed, our struggles have not. The women of the New Testament will quickly become your friends and confidants and you will truly identify with their hearts. As you come to a deeper knowledge and love for Jesus through the lives of these women, know that He is in the midst of your story and your struggle. He is there to help you walk in the victory that He has already won for you when He died on the cross and rose! Remember you are more than victorious in Christ!

What does it mean to have beautiful feet? These verses are not concerned with the external beauty of our feet, but the beauty of the message that we bear. Those with beautiful feet are those who preach the gospel of peace and bring the good news of Jesus Christ! To be in pieces means to be shattered or broken. Everything in the world is broken. Our government is broken, our financial system is broken, and our schools are broken. Let’s bring that reality a little closer to home. Our cities are broken, our neighborhoods are broken, and our families are broken. This means, that in the very things these institutions were designed to bring: peace, safety, and comfort, they are powerless to accomplish. Now is the time to preach the gospel of peace, to bring the good news of Jesus Christ! Christ alone has the power to transform and restore that which is broken. Now that we know that God wants to use our beautiful feet, the question becomes are they willing to go? Doubt, fear, and insecurities keep our feet from walking into the darkness to bring the light of the gospel message. This study is designed to help you overcome your fears and challenge you to use your beautiful feet to bring the good news to those God has placed in your sphere of influence. Part of the armor of God, as described by the apostle Paul, is the shoes of the preparation of the gospel of peace. The sandals of the Roman soldier "often were fitted with nails, or armed with spikes, to make them hold firm in the ground.” God's good news, and our marching orders to preach it, serve as our firm foundation. When we truly allow ourselves to take comfort in the good news promised by God, no forces that the world can marshal will trouble our hearts or give us reason to be afraid. Christ has overcome the world, and we have nothing to fear from it! Therefore, the purpose of our time in the Book of Romans will be twofold: First, we want to gain a deeper understanding of the gospel and its power to save. Second, we want to learn how to live out the truths of the gospel, in order to daily bear witness to the transforming power of Christ. With these two goals deeply rooted in our minds and hearts, our beautiful feet will be ready and willing to proclaim salvation to everyone.
