Turning the Gem: Union With Christ | Les Newsom

Adult Sunday School
Turning the Gem: The Order of Salvation
There is a difference in picturing your Christian life as an attempt to hang onto a life preserver for dear life versus learning that he dove into the water and carried our lifeless bodies to safety. This salvation is the most valuable thing possible to the Christian, a gem of wonder. Each week we are going to spin this diamond and it’s going to cut up the light on different ways. Each week, we will give it a new turn.

Meets each week at 9:45am in the sanctuary.

The Gospel & My Job | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:5-9
The Ancient Greeks told the story of Pandora’s Box and how “hard labor” escaped when she opened it. Mankind has always struggled with a negative view of work. No surprise that Paul takes up this topic in Ephesians 5 and gives some of life changing insight into how Christians are to view their jobs.

It’s a Family Affair | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:1-4
You can’t sequester your beliefs when you enter the public sphere to make decisions as a Christian. But we need to start “local” by looking into what the Gospel says about our most fundamental relationships, that between parents and children. Paul has wisdom to spare in these (oddly) short verses.
