Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit —
Growing in Christlikeness
Paul shows us the way of the Spirit of God given to us
through Christ: “Walk by the Spirit...led by the Spirit...
live by the Spirit...keep in step with the Spirit.” That is the
heart and soul of Christian living—the center and secret of
what it means to be a person who belongs to Christ.
Tim Shaw
The Life of Joseph
Agape
“You meant it for evil...but God meant it for good”— this
is the great conclusion that Joseph comes to at the end of
Genesis. In chapters 36-50 of Genesis, we will be walking
through the drama of the life of Joseph with special
attention to the goodness and sovereignty of God in the
midst of the suffering that Joseph is going through. And as
we do so, each week we will see types and shadows of the
One who will ultimately and finally make “all things work
together for good” and “make all things new.”
Combined Emmaus and Berean Classes
Studies in the Book of Hebrews
The Book of Hebrews is a sermonic letter that has as its
theme Jesus Christ. He is greater than any angel, priest,
or old covenant institution. The burden of this “word
of exhortation” is that rather than leave such a great
salvation, the reader is summoned to hold on by faith to
the true rest found in Christ and to encourage others in the
church to persevere. The Son of God became the heavenly
high priest, who offered himself as a sacrifice once for all.
Christ obtained salvation for all who approach in faith, and
such faith perseveres until it receives the promised eternal
reward.

New Covenant
Life in Christ
Duty follows doctrine. Behavior follows belief. Output

about practical Christian living in union with Jesus Christ.
