We are so thankful that Christ gave himself for us. But as his people, we must seek to follow him faithfully. Even when others would mistreat us for being Christians, we must remain committed to righteousness and continue in our faith. And if we do suffer, let it be for doing right, rather than for doing wrong. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley…

Though Abraham’s journey of faith had its ups and downs, much of it had been built around the promise that God would give him offspring. That promise is finally fulfilled in Genesis 21 when Isaac is born. Teacher: Allen HutchisonOleh Orangeburg church of Christ

After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples on multiple occasions. In one of John’s records, we deal with Jesus’ words concerning receiving the Holy Spirit, and in another we look at Thomas’ need for evidence. Finally we begin the final chapter of John with a look at a few disciples fishing on the Sea of Galilee. Teacher: Justin P. Sivl…

Though we are rightly concerned about the evil we often see in the world around us, God gives us assurance that the reward for faithfulness is exceedingly great. We know from past examples that God knows how to deal with those who oppose him, and also how to rescue those who trust in him. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley…

Christians give a contribution each first day of the week, following the pattern of the church given in the first century. This is a Biblical practice which has long characterized God’s people, and one that should be participated in with joy and love. Speaker: Justin P. SivleyOleh Orangeburg church of Christ

Though Abraham’s relationship with God had grown, he still demonstrated the same failure with Abimelech as he had with Pharaoh about 25 years before. And though he did fail, God did not give up on him. Teacher: Justin P. SivleyOleh Orangeburg church of Christ

Our final section in this study of John’s account of the Gospel will focus on the last two chapters. Jesus is raised from the dead and appears to several of his disciples a number of times, with each occasion giving opportunity to strengthen their belief. Teacher: Justin P. SivleyOleh Orangeburg church of Christ

This month’s abbreviated lesson focuses on moments when we might feel like everyone is against us. In those moments it is important to remember that God is on our side, and the words of Hebrews 13:6 and the related passages in the Psalms can provide us with that comfort. Speaker: Justin P SivleyOleh Orangeburg church of Christ

If we are going to be dedicated to the restoration of New Testament Christianity, that must also include the mindset of the early church. Our efforts must be about more than just practices and rules, but about the dedication, love, and fellowship that the church displayed at the beginning. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley…
