The Most Important Thing I’ve Learned by Preaching Through Mark
It has been quite an odyssey, and Central has been great to be along for the ride. At the beginning of 2023 (notice…not 2024), it was announced that Noah Davis and I would be preaching through the Gospel according to Mark. We made it clear that it would not be every Sunday morning, but that we were going to take two years to go through that book. Now, as November 2024 approaches, we are about to land the plane. Lord willing, the four Sunday mornings of November will be spent bringing this study to a close with sermons on (1) the second part of the crucifixion, (2) the burial, (3)…

Coming Next Monday…
On our most recent “Legacy of Faith” podcast, Leah and I took some time to talk about two projects that we are working on; one from each of us. We are very excited to be doing these things and we are praying that what we are trying to do will be a blessing to you in your Bible study. In case you missed that episode of the podcast, I’m taking my post today to let you know about these two things, both of which start next Monday, October 14. “Into the Heart of the Bible” (Leah) Leah has had a desire for some time to do something to help teach…

Making Connections
Sometimes people try to discredit the Bible by saying that the God in the Old Testament is not the same God we read of in the New Testament even though He claims to be the “same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Others try to use the same argument but to make almost the opposite point: that it is much easier to please God today because He is more loving now. They usually point out actions recorded in the Old Testament that seem more harsh while highlighting verses from the New Testament like 1 John 4:8 which reads, in part, “God is love.” My son Daniel is extremely good…

Bring Polishing the Pulpit with You!
A few weeks ago, dad wrote an article about Polishing the Pulpit (PTP). As a family, we have loved this event for many years now. Truthfully, of all the “extra” things that were cancelled due to covid in 2020, PTP was probably the one that hit our whole family the hardest. Each year, we all enjoy dozens of lessons. This year, only three of us went, as Mary Carol had started school. Next year, it will just be Leah and me, but we have already made plans to go and we know we will be built up spiritually throughout the week. However, in the 51 weeks in-between PTP 2024 and…

The Song of Songs
We have known it was coming. As our Tuesday afternoon Ladies’ class has traveled through the Bible in chronological order for the last 14 years, we have known that the Song of Solomon was coming up. Last Tuesday was the day that I introduced the book, and we began a study of it on Tuesday of this week. There have been comments made over the years about dreading to get to this book and how hard it will be to teach. We have even joked about feeling like illness was coming on the closer we got to the Song of Songs. As I have devoted more time to study, I…

When Not to Call It a “Bible School Program”
I suppose one of the most common ways to refer to what some call “Sunday School” is to refer to it as the “Bible school program.” Children, teens, and adults attend classes and, over the years, hear hundreds of lessons. But today I want to give three times when calling it the “Bible school program” is not accurate, and each one provides something to honestly evaluate. First, don’t call it the “Bible school program” if it is not actually a program; in other words, if there is little-to-no organization. A great deal of time and attention needs to be paid to evaluating curriculum, for example. And, by the way, that…
