The class held an interactive lesson:
"From Generation to Generation: The Power of Honor "
 A Study on Exodus 20:12
Summary of the lesson:
This past Sunday, our Foundations class enjoyed an interactive discussion centered on Exodus 20:12—"Honor your father and your mother." Each table explored different aspects, including the meaning of honor, its role in a stable society, practical ways to honor parents through life’s various stages, dealing with difficult family relationships, and understanding the unique promise tied to this commandment. Participants shared meaningful insights, highlighting forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, and the importance of leaving a godly legacy. The lesson encouraged everyone to intentionally bless someone this week—whether a parent, mentor, or spiritual parent—as a practical application of honoring God by honoring others.

This Week March 30th:
"Two Words, One Powerful Command: Valuing Life "
 A Study on Exodus 20:13 Sam & Noel Gray Teaching.
Join us this Sunday as Sam and Noel Gray guide us through an insightful lesson titled "Life Is Sacred," based on the sixth commandment from Exodus 20:13: "You shall not murder." Interestingly, the original Hebrew captures this profound commandment in just two words, highlighting God's clear and concise message about the sacredness of life. We'll explore the deeper meaning behind this directive—understanding that it’s more than just a prohibition; it’s God's foundational call for respect, dignity, and honoring the life He created. Together, let's discover how embracing this principle helps us live freely, aligned with God's heart for humanity. Don’t miss it!

Danny Reid taught lesson 4 of a multi part lesson series: 
"The Ten Commandments"
Exodus 20:8-11
"Remember the Sabbath: A Holy Rest in a Restless World"
 This lesson video is available by clicking on the arrow below:

Summary of the lesson:
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy—from both Old and New Testament perspectives. Beginning with God’s rest in Genesis and moving through Exodus, Leviticus, and the Gospels, this lesson unpacks the theological, historical, and personal significance of the Sabbath.  Reflecting on its transformation into the Lord’s Day in light of Christ’s resurrection, and consider how believers today can find true rest in Jesus. Through Scripture, reflection, and heartfelt honesty, we are all challenged to ask: Why do I keep the Sabbath? What does it look like to truly rest and worship? Join us as we journey toward a deeper understanding of God's gift of Sabbath rest, and what it means to live that out with joy and purpose.

"The Ten Commandments"
Exodus 20:7
"Revering the Name: Honoring God in Word and Deed"
 This lesson video is available by clicking on the arrow below:

Summary of the lesson:
Reverence for God's name is not just about avoiding profanity but about living a life that honors Him in all we say and do. Bill Wright's lesson on Exodus 20:7, which addresses taking the Lord's name in vain, begins with a discussion about the significance of names. He reflects on how names become associated with a person’s reputation and how they influence perceptions. He highlights examples from personal experiences, history, and even pop culture to illustrate the importance of names. The lesson encourages believers to be mindful of how they use God’s name in everyday life both in word and actions.

Exodus 20:4-6
"No Idols: Worshipping God Alone with Devotion and Truth"
 This lesson video is available by clicking on the arrow below:
 This lesson on the Second Commandment (Exodus 20:4-6) explores idolatry, highlighting how quickly the Israelites broke this law with the golden calf. It distinguishes idolatry from artistic representation and warns of modern idols like wealth, power, and culture. God’s jealousy reflects His zealous love, desiring exclusive worship. Christ is the true image of God (Col. 1:15), and believers must guard against worldly influences in worship and daily life.

🧭Exciting news, Foundations Friends! Our journey together continues, and we’re setting our course toward a new meeting location starting Sunday, March 2, 2025! 
 Over the years, we’ve navigated different stops along the way—from the Library in June 2021 to Fellowship Room D in January 2022—and now, it’s time for another shift. 
Why the move? The class before us has grown beyond 100+ in attendance, and to support their continued expansion, the church is opening Fellowship Rooms C & D for their use. But this isn’t the end of our journey—it’s a fresh path forward! Church leadership is actively charting the best location for our class, and will reveal our new destination before we gather again on Sunday, March 2nd. Let’s step forward in faith, trusting God’s direction for our next stop! Stay tuned for updates!✨
📢 Foundations Class – A New Sunday Classroom Setup Plan This Week! 

Exciting changes are coming to Fellowship Center D, and we want YOU to be part of the smooth transition! 
To accommodate both Life Bible Study classes using our space, our classroom will be transformed from theater seating to tables before we meet at 10:35. 
 Here’s how it will work: 
🔹 The Third-Quarter class will finish at 10:25, and its members will be asked to move to The Lawn for refreshments and fellowship while the transformation takes place. 
🔹 The setup team will clear chairs and set up tables for our Foundations Class. 
🔹 At 10:35, a designated leader will invite us in to begin class in our newly arranged classroom. 
 How You Can Help: 
✅ Plan to arrive early and enjoy fellowship on The Lawn before class begins. 
✅ Be patient as the transformation happens—this will allow us to focus on learning, connection, and growing together in Christ. We appreciate your support in making this transition smooth and effective.

Join us as we uncover surprising insights, explore ancient and modern idolatry, and challenge ourselves to live with undivided devotion to God.

In the latest Truth Talk episode, co-hosts Butch Butcher and Richard Battle led a dynamic discussion on the relevance of the Ten Commandments in today’s world. They explored how biblical principles have shaped society, the historical warnings from leaders like John Adams, and the struggles of applying these commandments in modern life—from social media-driven coveting to the challenge of honoring the Sabbath in a fast-paced world. Listeners engaged with thought-provoking questions, while scripture, humor, and real-life insights made for a compelling conversation. The takeaway? God’s law isn’t just ancient history—it’s a guide for life today. This episode is available here:
