Moses – A Man Apart
Moses – A Man Apart Moses’ story is told in the Book of Exodus, but it starts in Genesis with the story of Abraham and his family with whom God makes a covenant. Generations later Moses draws the extended family together in the form of a nation with a structure and code of law, given to him on Mount Sinai. Some contend God is the Exodus hero, and that point is certainly valid, but in human terms, Moses takes center stage throughout…
Noah – Part II
During Vacation Bible School Doug Reynolds taught two lessons on Noah. These are those lessons edited for posting on the Church’s website. Noah – Part II Genesis 6: 14 – 22: The Ark, The Promise, and The Faith In Chapter 6, we see the results of a world turned away from God. We will meet Noah, perhaps the greatest example of faith in scripture. And, we will discuss the preparation of the ark. Please continue to remember that the earth…

A Balanced Understanding of God (Part 2)
A Balanced Understanding of God In my last post I posed questions for study about a mature understanding of God. This post is the follow-up I promised that hopefully helps guide the reader to this understanding. I hope you enjoy the study. As always, comments are welcome. We will now try to answer a question many often ask. How can God be a God of love and a God of judgment at the same time? Why can we just not…
A Balanced Understanding of God
By Doug Reynolds, June 11, 2017 This is the first of two studies designed to guide us to a more mature understanding of God’s nature. When I post studies, it is a challenge to capture the spirit of the study as it is delivered in a class setting. When presented in a bible study class, I ask questions to spur interaction between class members. That interaction brings the lesson to life. If you don’t regularly attend a Sunday School class,…
Keep Your Head Up
Sometimes, we just need to stop, look, and listen. God speaks to us all the time. Do we listen and see? This study is centered on the passage from Matthew below. The theme is to focus on our Deliverer, not what we desire deliverance from. This thought spurred me to draft this lesson mainly because we (or maybe it’s just me?) seem to have a lot of folks in our church, and in our extended church family, that are in need of deliverance from something.…
Teaching the Word with Doug
Doug Reynolds teaches the Young Adults Sunday School class at Highland Park Baptist Church. Although the class calls itself ‘The Young Adults in Denial’ because most of the class is over the age of 40, it is a class where God’s word is learned through reading and open discussion. The class usually picks the topics and Doug creates a lesson for it. Doug has reformatted these lessons so the seeds of God’s word can now be cast even further. True Grace and…
