By Sheryl Murray “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, that we may receive mercy and grace to …
Better Than Moses
By Gail Peo Last week Kathy asked us: “Have you ever found yourself putting your hope and trust in things other than God?” In our study of Hebrews this week (Hebrews 3:1-4:13), we considered the fact that Jesus is “Better than Moses.” Now, we don’t tend to worship Moses today, but the first readers of …
Worthy of our Worship
Have you ever found yourself putting your hope and trust in things other than God? Our study in Hebrews this week showed us that the 1st century Jewish Christians were prone to worship angels. I didn’t even know it was a thing, but I can see its draw. Any biblical account I’ve read where a …
We’re Back!
I wish I'd taken a video of our in-person class this past Tuesday when Marlys led us in a "happy dance." On second thought, it's probably just as well I didn't. This way you can imagine us all as excellent dancers reveling in the joy of being back together again (at a safe 6-foot distance, …
Registration Closes this Sunday
Have you registered for our fall class yet? I'll admit, I'm a life-long procrastinator, but I did register for the Better class today. Why? Because registration closes on Sunday and I don't want to miss out. I don't want any of you to miss out either, so if you're planning to join us next Tuesday, …

The Greatest of These is Love
Happily Ever After. No matter how skeptical you might be, there’s still something about those three words that draws us in. Why? Because at the end of the fairy tale when the narrator tells us the couple lives happily ever after, we know what the words really mean is they loved happily ever after. And …
Love When Loving Is Hard
By Maranda Hoefs I feel 100% unqualified to write a blog on love enduring and love persevering right now. While I’ve been praying about what God would have me write for a long time, the closer I got to the date of me writing, the more questions and confusion set in. I can’t write a …
Steady On
In these times we're experiencing, I'm grateful for the extra words of understanding we get in the Amplified version of 1 Corinthians 13:7: "LOVE . . . hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times]." A love like that goes far beyond the way we often consider our hope. How often do we hope for …
Trust is the Key
By Mary Wenzl “Agape.” This was the Greek word chosen by Paul to describe the kind of love Christians should have for each other in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. This type of love requires a deliberate choice be made by the person wanting to express love, rather than concentrating on the one who is the recipient of …
