    Session 42 – Romans; Romans 9:25-29: Mark Lanier, 09/27/26
    This lesson explores Romans 9:25–29 through the cultural lens of first-century Roman freedom ceremonies, where slaves were freed, renamed, and adopted as citizens — illuminating how God doesn't just free us but renames and adopts us as His children. Through the stories of Hosea's children (named "Not My People" and "No Mercy") and Isaiah's remnant prophecy, we see God's power to transform outsiders into His people and His promise to always preserve a faithful remnant.

    Session 41 – Romans; Romans 9:19-24; Mark Lanier, 09/20/26
    In the Greco-Roman world, a mortal who talked back to a god got obliterated—turned into a spider, a weeping stone, or skinned alive. But when Paul's audience expects a thunderbolt, God gives them a potter at his wheel—because God interrogates, He doesn't incinerate.

    Session 40 – Romans; Romans 9: Mark Lanier, 09/13/26
    This teaching on Romans 9 traces Paul's retelling of Israel's story — from the patriarchs through the Exodus and prophets — to show that God's Word has never failed. Using the metaphor of the potter and the clay, it demonstrates that God's shaping of history, including hardship, is proof of His reliability, not a philosophical argument about predestination.

    Special Event – Summer Series: The Ten Commandments; Pastor Brent Johnson, 09/06/26
    This message explores the Ten Commandments through the lenses of Moses, Jesus, and Paul to reveal that God's law was never meant to save us through rule-keeping, but to show us our need for a Savior. By tracing examples from Genesis through the New Testament, we see how the law acts as a tutor that drives us toward abundant life found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Session 39 – Romans; Romans 9:14-18: Mark Lanier, 08/30/26
    God's word came through a real first century teacher, Paul, teaching the way the best teachers of his century taught. Mercy is never owed — it doesn't depend on human will or exertion, but on God who has mercy.

    Session 38 – Romans; Romans 9, Has God’s Word Failed?: Mark Lanier, 08/23/26
    In this teaching on Romans 9, Mark Lanier uses his background as a biblical languages scholar and trial lawyer to show that God's promises have never failed, tracing Israel's story through Isaac and Jacob to demonstrate that membership in God's family has always been by grace, not race. The lesson ends with a teaser for next week: whether the election of Jacob over Esau refers to their historical roles as nations, individual salvation, or both.

    Session 37 – Romans; Romans 9:1-5: Mark Lanier, 08/16/26
    This lesson explores Romans 9:1-5, where Paul expresses deep prophetic grief over Israel's rejection of the Messiah, catalogs the irreplaceable gifts God gave Israel, and breaks into a doxology declaring Christ as "God over all, blessed forever." It sets the stage for Romans 9–11 by addressing the critical question: if God's promises to Israel appear to have failed, can we trust His promises to us?

    Special Event – Summer Series; The Ten Commandments: Pastor Brent Johnson, 08/09/26
    In this final lesson of the Familiar Ground, New Light summer series, the speaker traces the evolution of the Ten Commandments through Moses, Jesus, and Paul — showing how what began as a relational covenant became increasingly demanding under Jesus' teaching. Ultimately, Paul reveals that the law was never meant to save us, but to serve as a guardian pointing us toward faith in Jesus Christ.

    Special Event – Summer Series; John 11:23-27: Pastor Scott Riling, 08/02/26
    Jesus didn't say, 'I do resurrections' — He said, 'I am the resurrection.' The moment you are born again, you're not waiting for resurrection power; you're already living in it.

    Special Event – Summer Series; John 1:19-20: Dr. Chris Kugler, 07/26/26
    John's Gospel is woven with deep echoes of Genesis and Exodus, showing that Jesus — the eternal Word made flesh — entered history to take the place of cursed Adam and reverse the curse of sin and death. Through his crucifixion and resurrection, he launches a new creation and commissions his followers to carry the message of forgiveness into the world.

    Special Event – Summer Series; Take It One Day At a Time: Rev. Alex Graham III, 07/19/26
    Rev. Alex Graham explores the biblical concept of taking life one day at a time, tracing it through Scripture and sharing how his own battle with Stage 4 cancer deepened his trust in God's daily provision. He closes with practical encouragement to embrace finitude, be still before God, and stay fully present in each moment, as illustrated through the story of Mary and Martha.

    Special Event – Summer Series; Psalm 139:13-14: Dr. David Fleming, 07/12/26
    Using Michelangelo's David and Psalm 139 as a backdrop, Fleming challenges the false choice between being "wonderfully made" and a "work in progress," showing that both truths coexist in the Christian life. He calls listeners to rest in God's unconditional acceptance while intentionally pressing on toward Christlikeness.
