In God We Entrust Luke 5
As Christ followers, our lives should be stamped with the same words as our currency– “In God We Trust.” Regrettably, that is not the case. There are portions of our lives that we surrender to our Savior, and there are areas that we attempt to shield from his knowing gaze.
During our Investigate Jesus Bible study tonight, we’ll review the evidence presented in Luke chapter 5 that identifies the four areas of our lives that Christ commands that we entrust to him. You can test yourself to determine how many of those areas you are holding onto.
Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Our investigation of Luke 5, In God We Entrust, begins at 6pm at Southeast Christian Church Shelby Campus.

Jesus and The Foolish Fisherman Luke 5
Jesus asked Peter to do something that appeared to be foolish and a waste of time. The commercial fisherman had just washed and put away his nets after an unsuccessful night of fishing. Yet Jesus–who was not a commercial fisherman–urged Peter and his crew to go back out and lower their nets once again when even a novice fisherman would know it was too late in the day to catch fish.
During our Investigate Jesus Bible study tonight, we’ll review the evidence as to why Peter obeyed The Preacher from Galilee. If you sense that Christ is urging you to do something that seems foolish and a waste of time, this investigation is for you!

Team Building Luke 6
When Jesus was building the team that would take his message of repentance for salvation around the world, he handpicked one disciple who denied him and another disciple who betrayed him. Why did he do that? Didn’t he know these men would let him down at the very moment they were under pressure to stand up for him?
During tonight’s Investigate Jesus Bible study, we’ll review the evidence in Scripture to answer:
Did Jesus know when he invited Peter to join him that the fisherman would deny him three times?
If Jesus is all-knowing, why did he invite a traitor into his inner circle?
Who was on the other team Jesus was building at the same time he was recruiting the Apostles?
Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Our investigation of Luke 6: Team Building begins at 6pm at Southeast Christian Church Shelby Campus.

Plain Truth: Luke 6
You have heard of the Sermon on the Mount. Did you know that Jesus also preached the Sermon on the Plain? In that message to his disciples and followers, Christ used both progressive revelation of Scripture and paradoxical language to teach his disciples, including us, some uncomfortable truths about ourselves. But, he closed out his message with hope for each of us. We’ll do the same as we Investigate Jesus through evidence presented in Luke chapter six.
Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Our discussion, The Plain Truth, begins at 6pm at SECC Shelby Campus.

Psalms: Part III
With Thanksgiving approaching, our hearts should turn to praise, and that’s when believers in Christ should turn to the thickest book in the Bible–The Psalms.
These 150 poems–curated over the centuries into a collection of praise songs–are punctuated by praise and thankfulness.
Amos will guide us through the Psalms tonight to remind us that even though Thanksgiving happens once a year, being thankful should happen every day for what Christ did for us on Calvary!
Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Part III of our investigation of Jesus through the Psalms begins at 6pm at Southeast Christian Church Shelby Campus.

Psalms: Part II
There are times when you need to pour your heart out to God. The challenges, disappointments, and heart breaks of life are too much to contain.
That’s why God gave us the Psalms.

Daniel: Part III

Describing what End Times will look like for those still alive when Christ returns to judge at his Second Coming.
Amos compares the end times prophecy contained in this 3,000 year old book to what we are seeing happening around the world right now during Part III of his series on the book of Daniel.

Daniel: Part II
Daniel worked for the most powerful man in the world–King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Nebby possessed the unquestioned authority to snuff out Daniel’s life at the slightest offense. Yet, the exiled Jewish scholar–who was enslaved by the king–stood firm in his faith in the face of certain death. Learn how Daniel’s boldness points us toward the Christ in the second part of Amos’ series on the book of Daniel.
Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Part II of our investigation of Jesus through the life of Daniel begins at 6pm at Southeast Christian Church Shelby Campus.

Serving Others is #3 Luke 10
For the last several weeks, our group has been discussing the biblical reasons we should be eager to serve others. So if that is true, why does Jesus tell Martha–who is busily preparing food for Jesus and his friends–that she should not be doing that?
During tonight’s Investigate Jesus Bible study, we’ll review the evidence in Luke chapters 10 and 11 to answer:
Why is it wrong to make serving others my priority?
What are some warning signs that I am not serving others in the proper way?
How can I find the ministry area in which God designed me to serve others?

Charlie Daniels told us “the devil went down to Georgia.” Dr. Luke says Jesus went down to Capernaum–and just about got himself killed!

Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Our investigation of Luke 4, Jesus Went Down to Capernaum, begins at 6pm at Southeast Christian Church Shelby Campus.

Why Did Satan Ask, “If You are the Son of God? Luke 4 Part 2

During our Investigate Jesus Bible study tonight, we’ll explore the evidence available to us in the Scriptures to suggest two theories to answer this important question.

The Temptations Luke 4
Our Investigate Jesus Bible Study continues tonight!

Our shared meal will be ready for you at 5:30pm. Our investigation of Luke 4 begins at 6pm at Southeast Christian Church Shelby Campus.

Evidence Examined
Jesus said the proper response to his earthly mission was for us to “repent and believe” (Mark 1:15). Believing is often the hard part. What evidence do we have that can give us confidence to believe that Jesus is REALLY who he claimed to be? As we continue our Investigate Jesus Bible Study, we’ll consider eyewitness testimony from the Gospel of Luke. What will your verdict be?
Our shared meal begins at 5:30pm. Our discussion and Bible study gets underway at 6pm. We look forward to hosting you tonight!
