Evangelism. For many, the mere thought of sharing their faith causes them to break out in a cold sweat. “What if they think I’m a fanatic?” “What if they ask a question I can’t answer?” “What if an argument breaks out?” For many, even those who absolutely ADORE Jesus, the idea is just too much. “I’ll leave it to someone better equipped than me.” But it is something that you can do… effectively and without anxiety. In fact, it’ll strengthen your own faith and walk with the Savior, as well. Sharing Jesus is one of the few things that actually makes an eternal difference in someone’s life. Join us as we disarm common fears about sharing faith and become equipped to talk about faith. We will learn how to engage with unbelievers with wisdom and grace, whatever their attitudes about Christianity. Are you ready to SPEAK UP for Jesus?

1 Thessalonians 5.17 – "pray without ceasing."
Does prayer life seem to be a struggle sometimes? Do prayers make a difference? While some see prayer as more of a duty than a delight, Jesus saw it as essential. He hungered to spend time with God in prayer because He understood only then could He experience the Father’s peace, power, and provision in every season of life. In this study of Jesus' most famous prayer, we learn to talk to God with confidence no matter what we face. Be sure to check out each study of this series as Dr. Gordon Dabbs dives into this in-depth, life-changing study of each of the essential elements of "The Lord's Prayer."

They were back home after decades in exile. The city walls of Jerusalem were complete. The Temple was, once again, up and running. In many ways, this should have been a moment for jubilation and optimism, yet, the spiritual leaders walked God's people through lament and confession over sins, their personal sins, and those of their ancestors. True healing and restoration required an attentiveness to what went wrong in the past. Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., teaching through Nehemiah 9, reveals the truth about lament and it's importance in making us whole.
