EASTER - RESURRECTED HOPE – We go into life with great hopes and dreams, but over time life crucifies our hopes and places them in a tomb. Jesus came to give us the life of our dreams and it's Resurrection Day.

FAVOR OF GOD – What is God's Favor? Does everyone have it? God desires to bless us by giving us special advantages and preferential treatment. Learn how to walk in God's Favor every day.

PEOPLE – are extremely important in our lives. There are people we avoid, people we approach, people we push up, and people who push us up. Knowing and recognizing this is key to a blessed and successful life.

I LOVE MY CHURCH – a unique look at “Church.” God loved the world and gave his son, but Jesus loved the Church and gave himself for it. We love our church (Life Gate). This study caused us to rekindle our love.

WARRIOR – a look at manhood and why men act, respond, and do what they do. This is insightful for women as well as men. (Acknowledgment to Life Church)

DAVID – a serious look at the life of King David, the man after God’s own heart. When David drew close to God, giants fell. When he didn’t, David fell.

HEALED WITHOUT SCARS – all are wounded by life. Wounds leave scars. We hide them and mask them. God wants to heal not only the wounds, but remove the scars.
