From Information to Encounter
How to Truly Meet God in Scripture
Hebrews tells us that “the word of God is living and active” (Heb. 4:12), but many believers still experience Bible study as informational rather than transformational.
If Scripture has started to feel routine—or your time in the Word feels more like study than relationship—this teaching invites you into something deeper.
Through this session, discover how to move beyond information-gathering and begin encountering God through His Word in a real and personal way.
Set Free for More
From Slavery to Worship
When God freed Israel from Egypt, He didn’t simply remove them from slavery—He called them into something new.
The same is true for us.
In this teaching, we’ll explore the deeper purpose behind redemption: that we are set free from sin, but also set free for worship, surrender, and a life offered to God.
Drawing from Romans 12:1, we’ll look at what it means to present our everyday, ordinary lives as living sacrifices—wholeheartedly given back to the One who redeemed us.
God's Name, God's Presence
Know Who is With You
Throughout the book of Exodus, God reveals both His name and His presence to His people—not as abstract theology, but as personal assurance that He is with them.
In this teaching, we’ll explore what it means that God makes Himself known, and why His presence is not just a doctrine to believe, but a reality that shapes how we live.
As we trace key moments in the story of Exodus, we’ll see how knowing God’s name leads us into deeper trust, worship, and confidence in His nearness today.
