Why We’re Here: A Timely Reflection on Our Purpose
In the rhythm of weekly gatherings, it’s easy to forget our deeper purpose. But our Life Bible Study class exists for more than fellowship — we are here to:
Reach. Teach. Win. Disciple.
This mission aligns directly with Jesus’ Great Commission:
“Go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19–20).
We’re called to action — not passivity.
We’re here to Reach the lost, Teach truth, Win hearts, and Disciple one another in Christ.
This week, ask God to place one person on your heart to reach out to — with a text, a visit, an invitation to class, or a prayer. Make the mission personal.
Let’s not just attend class — let’s live the Commission.
Life Bible Study: Where purpose meets action.

When Enough Is Enough: Confronting the Heart of Coveting- Lesson Recap:
Sunday May 11th, Bill Wright delivered a compelling lesson to the Foundations Class on the Tenth Commandment—Bill brings wisdom, warmth, and conviction to Exodus 20:17—“You shall not covet.” This powerful lesson reminds us that coveting goes beyond wanting what others have; it’s a deeper issue of believing that what God has given isn't enough.
Through vivid stories and rich biblical insight, we explore how discontentment fuels destructive choices, and how gratitude, trust, and joy in the Lord anchor us in lasting peace. From King David to Solomon, scripture shows us the cost of misplaced desire—and the freedom of godly contentment.
Bill reminds us: “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” — 1 Timothy 6:6
Let this lesson now on video (below) challenge you to find joy not in more, but in surrender.
Don’t Miss the Grand Finale: Carol Pierce Leads Our Ten Commandments Wrap-Up
This Sunday marks the final step in our powerful journey through the Ten Commandments—and you won’t want to miss it. Carol Pierce will lead us in a heartfelt wrap-up lesson that brings the entire series into focus.
More than a review, this will be a time of reflection, renewal, and rejoicing as we consider how God’s commands are not burdens, but blessings—guiding us to live with purpose, integrity, and joy. Whether you’ve been here for every lesson or are jumping in for the first time, this is the perfect moment to reconnect and be reminded of the beauty of God’s design for our lives.
Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and inspired as we celebrate all that God has taught us through His Word. Let’s finish strong—together.
You are invited to join us, either in person @ HFBC's Rehearsal Hall on the 2nd Floor over the Foyer or via Live Stream (details below):
