The Word: Not of Men but of God
March 15, 2026
The faith landscape in the U.S. is constantly changing. In his study, American Worldview Inventory 2023-2025, veteran researcher George Barna aimed to determine what born-again Christians truly believe. By “born-again Christians,” Barna means they believe they will go to heaven after they die, but only because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.
One shocking discovery was believers’ attitudes toward the Bible. While 85 percent say they are deeply committed to their faith, only 55 percent read or study the Bible at least once a week!
In 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16, Paul will remind us that the Bible is not of human origin but of God. When we ignore the Bible, we block ourselves from hearing God’s voice. And how much we need to hear—and obey—His voice in a world that constantly demands our attention. Join us as we return to the majesty and miracle of God’s Word working in our lives.

King Saul
“Give us a king!” the people demanded. “Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” [1 Samuel 8:20]. There was only one problem with that request. They already had a King. The Lord was their King. But God wasn’t good enough for them. They thought they needed someone else to lead and fight for them. So, God crowned Saul as the first king of Israel. Sunday, we’ll enter his story. We’ll see that while he could have been truly great, his kingdom crashed almost as soon as it started.
Scripture References: 1 Samuel 13:1-15

We’ll spend August studying the lives of five of Israel’s kings. Their stories are fascinating and unforgettable. We’ll watch as Joash’s own grandmother attempts to assassinate him. We’ll see King Saul’s kingdom slip away simply for losing his patience. We’ll watch 80 courageous priests confront King Uzziah for defiling God’s Temple. We’ll learn why Manasseh was not only the wickedest king in Israel but in the whole world. And we’ll celebrate the coronation of eight-year-old Josiah—the only truly good king of the bunch. Whether good or bad, these kings pale in comparison to King Jesus, who we'll come back to week after week. God has much to teach us from each of them. Join us for this exciting and life-changing study of God’s Word.
