“So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today.” Proverbs 22:19 NIV I was reading my Bible this morning and came across this profound proverb. I underlined it. Meditated on it. Made a note of it to hang this somewhere in my classroom. Ultimately it resonated most with my role as…
“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV) Recently I was meeting with a friend and she said something that I have said many times. We were…
I’m very excited about this summer’s Bible study. Last summer we studied the book If by Mark Batterson. This summer we are studying How to Overcome Lies from the enemy and Walk in Freedom. I’m writing this study and looking forward to sharing it with you. We will meet Thursday nights in June, starting with…

This student made a poor choice and was now having a consequence. Everyone was…
“His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” John 2:5 As a parent, I have come to despise the word “whatever.” To be honest, it may not be the word but the attitude of whatever. Anyone else feel that same way? You know, the look, the eye roll, the exhaling loudly, all…
Today is the first day of Lent. I grew up Methodist and we celebrated Lent, as did my Catholic cousins. During the time leading up to Easter we all engaged in a fast of sorts. Lent serves as an opportunity to give up something to remind us of how Jesus gave up His life for…
“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold…
Welcome back to our study of How to Overcome Lies from the enemy. We have been studying lies we hear from the enemy and how to confront them with the truth of the Gospel. We started with Is God Really Love? Then we asked the question, Are You Really Forgiven? And last week we dug…
