Letters of faith, foundations of truth

TIMELESS WISDOM FOR TODAY’S CHURCH

Explore the rich truths and practical guidance found in Paul’s letters to the early churches—encouraging us to live with faith, hope, and love.

Paul’s letters to the churches ending in “-ians” are some of the most beloved and transformative books of the Bible. Written to guide early believers, these letters are filled with timeless lessons on unity, perseverance, humility, and the power of the Gospel. They challenge us to grow deeper in our faith and to live as Christ’s representatives in a complex world.

Through The -ians, we’ll learn how the early church overcame challenges to grow in their faith and mission—and how we can do the same. These letters remain deeply relevant, calling us to live boldly for Christ and to carry His love into the world.

May 4 through July 13

Introduction to Paul’s Letters

May 4, 2025

We’ll begin the series by exploring the background and heart behind Paul’s letters to the early churches. These Spirit-inspired words are packed with encouragement, challenge, and timeless truth. As we start this journey, we’ll see how these ancient letters still speak powerfully into the church today.

Unity in the Body of Christ

Life in the Spirit

May 18, 2025

What does it really mean to walk in the Spirit? In this message from Galatians 5, we explore how the Holy Spirit shapes our daily lives, not through pressure or performance, but through surrender. Paul contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, inviting us to examine what is growing in us and where we are being led. This is not about trying harder. It is about living rooted in Christ and letting the Spirit do what only He can.
