From Class to Community: Sunday Lunch at Los Tios

After a meaningful time in God’s Word this Sunday, the Foundations Class will gather for lunch at Los Tios on San Felipe. These after-class meals are more than just good food—they’re a time to laugh, connect, and grow as a class family. If you’re a widow, please know your meal is joyfully covered. There’s a place for everyone at the table— bring a guest, come share the fellowship.

One Nation Under God: Stories That Still Speak 

In Sunday’s lesson, Our Foundations Class celebrated Independence Day with a powerful and interactive lesson: One Nation Under God: The Faith that Formed Us. Four groups brought American history to life by sharing faith-filled stories from Robert Morgan’s 100 Bible Verses That Made America. From the McGuffey Readers to John Jay’s biblical convictions… from revival fire on college campuses to President Truman’s courageous stand for Israel—each vignette showed how God's Word shaped hearts and history. You won’t want to miss this! Watch the full video and be inspired by the stories, the scriptures, and the voices of your fellow class members as they remind us what it truly means to be One Nation Under God.

Chains Broken, Debts Canceled: Walk in the Power of Christ
This Sunday, Jeff Pennington brings to life the message of Colossians 2:1–14—a passage that stirs the soul with the assurance that in Christ, all treasures of wisdom are found, all chains are broken, and every debt of sin is canceled. Paul’s heartfelt struggle for the believers in Colossae is as relevant today as ever. Come hear how the mystery of Christ reveals a love that cuts away our old nature and raises us to new life. This is not just doctrine—this is transformation. Don’t miss it.
