Ed Dawson teaches that we are each God's temple, and that God cares about us and what we do with our temple. He shares from 1 Kings 8 and 9 that God puts his Name on his temple forever and that his eyes and heart will always be there. He holds up Jesus' concern for the Father's temple in John 2:12-22 as an example for us to follow. And he reminds us, using 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, that we were each bought at a price and therefore our temples belong to God, not ourselves.

Inspired by the movie of the same name, James Becknell explores what it means to be truly spiritually happy. He points out that hapiness should be defined differently in God's church than in the world, and uses the beatitudes in Matthew 5:3 to describe the person who will receive true spiritual happiness.

In celebration of Easter, Curt Simmons shares about Jesus' many great escapes from capture and death along with his ultimate escape from death through the resurrection. And he shows us how God's power over each of those situations is made available to us, allowing us to escape from the attacks of satan, and ultimately escape from death.

The Sh'ma (or Shema) is the most important prayer in Judaism, the beginning of the passage we know as Deuteronomy 6:4.  Curt goes back to the Shema as a key for parents to successfully pass on the heart of their faith to their children AND GRANDCHILDREN.  He exposes a face of the enemy--the popular Media--through sobering statistics and information, in order that parents may identify specific ways in which they can overcome the Enemy, retaining their rightful place as the primary influence in guiding their children's spiritual development.

Dave Pocta shares what it will take for the church to be able to come into our 2nd generation successfully.
