Although all people are fundamentally equal in the eyes of God, there are major differences in the manner in which they function. Some have the gift of leadership. Our society, and every organization...
Faith is not to be confused with rational conviction. Faith in the biblical sense is not based primarily on our reason (even though it is not unreasonable or irrational!); nor is it based on our...
For many of us, the church is already chosen! Either our parents were our denomination or we chose the church ourselves and now are members. But think about the person who does not belong to a church....
What are some of the images God uses to teach us the plan of salvation? What is atonement? How central is the concept of substitution to our understanding of the Cross? These are some of the questions...
From the moment Adam and Eve lost the Edenic paradise, every generation of God’s people has waited for a new heaven and a new Earth as their eternal home. For many today, however, the word “heaven”...
Hope is a defining characteristic of people with faith. We have hope because our faith informs us that, in spite of all appearances to the contrary, an infinitely good and powerful God is in control...
People nowadays live much longer than in previous generations, especially people in the so-called developed world. In itself, that’s good, of course. But long life, if it’s just more years, is not...

Two basic institutions for all humanity date from the first week of earth’s history: marriage and the Sabbath. They are intrinsic parts of the divine intentions for human happiness. No wonder that...
As bad as sin is, it’s not the end of the story. Sin is real, but so, thank God, is divine grace.
Until recently, the term stewardship was not used much in the contemporary world outside of churches. More recently it has become a major theme of books about management in both business and nonprofit...
The way we see and respond to life is so different. It’s almost as though diversity is hard-wired into human beings (though we have a big tendency to obscure and forget this reality).
This unit deals with the cross; the primary, most basic reality of Christian faith. This session is about the heart of the gospel, making a decision to follow Jesus. Two different approaches are...
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a parochial school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. A teacher made a note, and posted it on the apple tray, “Take only...
Prayer is the most basic and the most powerful way that we experience God. Prayer is our attempt to reach up to God. Grace is God’s hand reaching down to us. And somewhere in there, a connection is...
Even the best among us spend time demanding payment, don’t we? Think about it. Doesn’t someone owe you something? An apology? A second chance? A fresh start? An explanation? A thank you? A childhood?...
One of the fundamental truths about God is that God communicates. God is not silent, withdrawn, aloof or distant. God desires to be known. Which means that God chooses to communicate with people for...
So how does one go about paying attention to what matters most? This is what is often referred to as “spirituality,” taking the time to pay attention to the internal issues of life, the heart-soul...
