June Focus:
This month, our Foundations Class is focusing our hearts and minds on the words of Jesus in John 14:27, our Scripture Memory Verse for June: 

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. – John 14:27 

What a timely reminder in a world full of anxiety, distractions, and uncertainty. Jesus offers a peace that is personal, present, and powerful—a peace that calms the troubled heart and drives out fear. 

As we meditate on this verse throughout the month, let’s also remember our Name of God focus: El Shaddai—God Almighty. He is not only all-powerful but also tender and near, able to calm every storm and strengthen every step. 

Let this be your encouragement this week
  • Memorize John 14:27 and carry it with you throughout your day. 
  • Pray using the name El Shaddai, trusting His power to bring peace. 
  • Share this verse with someone who needs the comfort of Christ’s presence. 
Together, let’s grow in faith, peace, and confidence—because our God is mighty, and His Word is true.

From Rome to Colossae
Richard Battle Brings Paul’s Story to Life

Last week, our Foundations Class launched the Summer Colossians Study with an unforgettable opening lesson from Richard Battle. With warmth, humor, and insight, Richard transported us from the streets of modern-day Rome to the heart of Paul’s prison cell—where the letter to the Colossians was written.

Drawing from Trish and Richard's recent travels, they shared photos, stories, and Scripture that brought fresh perspective to Paul's transformation and calling. If you missed it, or want to experience it again, we encourage you to watch the video and let your heart be stirred by Paul’s bold faith and Christ’s unmatched sufficiency.

Watch the full lesson now and be inspired to live with grace, peace, and purpose.

This Week’s Lesson: 
Grace and Peace in Every Word 
Taught by Jeff Pennington

Jeff will walk us through Paul’s greeting—exploring how these ancient words speak into our lives today with clarity, purpose, and encouragement. Whether you’re new to Colossians or have studied it before, this lesson will deepen your appreciation for every word of Scripture and draw you closer to the heart of the gospel. Bring a friend and your Bible—and come ready to be encouraged!
