August Memory Verse: The Wounded Healer
This month, our class turns its heart to Isaiah 53:5, a verse that captures the essence of Christ’s redeeming work:
But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.
Isaiah 53:5 is the Gospel in one verse—pointing to the suffering Savior who bore our sin, secured our peace, and brought our healing. As you commit this verse to memory, take time to reflect on the personal cost of our salvation and the deep love of Christ that led Him to the cross.
Let’s carry this truth with us into every conversation, every trial, and every opportunity to speak of the One who was pierced for us.
August Names of God Class Focus:
Yahweh Yireh — The Lord Will Provide
This month, our class explores the powerful name Yahweh Yireh, meaning “The Lord Will Provide.” This name was first spoken by Abraham after God provided a ram in place of Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:14). It reminds us that God not only sees our needs but anticipates them—providing exactly what we need, when we need it.
Whether you’re facing uncertainty, carrying a burden, or stepping into the unknown, let this name anchor your heart: Yahweh Yireh sees ahead and provides. Reflect on His faithfulness, and trust that the same God who provided for Abraham will provide for you.
Pronunciation Guide:
Yahweh Yireh
YAH-way YEER-eh
Yahweh (יְהוָה): “YAH-way” — Emphasis on the first syllable.
Yireh (יִרְאֶה): “YEER-eh” — First syllable rhymes with “deer,” and the second is a soft “eh,” like the “e” in “met.”
Join us this Sunday, August 3rd, for a fun and flavorful lunch at Los Tios Mexican Restaurant—just 8 minutes from HFBC! We’ll gather right after class to enjoy great food and even better fellowship.

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
Rand Wall’s powerful lesson from Colossians 3:1–11 reminds us that the Christian life is one of transformation—dead to sin and alive in Christ. With passion and personal stories, he challenges us to cast off the old self and walk daily in the power of the resurrection.
Don’t miss this compelling call to holiness, hope, and victory in Jesus.

Dressed to Bless: Living in the Love of Christ
This Sunday, Carol Pierce brings us into the heart of Christian character with a powerful lesson from Colossians 3:12–17. In a world that too often encourages division and pride, Paul’s message calls us to "put on" compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience—clothing our hearts with Christ’s love. Carol will guide us in exploring how love binds all virtues together and how letting the peace of Christ rule in our hearts changes everything. Come ready to be encouraged and challenged as we learn to live, love, and forgive like Jesus—whatever we do, doing it all in His name.
