“So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” -Romans 10:17
This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Olumide Faulkner shares the lesson 'The Parable of the Sower'. Reading from Mark 4, and 1st Thessalonians, we see how we can be accepting of God's Word, ready to take what we hear to heart, or can be like those who turn away from the Word. Olumide reminds us the Word of God flourishes in the heart that accepts it, and the heart that accepts it, is the heart that obeys it.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Andrew Elliott shares the lesson 'The Jesus Movement'. Reading from Luke, Andrew helps us to re-think how we are as disciples. Are we doing things in an old legalistic way like some of the people Jesus was speaking to? Or are we challenging ourselves to be better and closer to Jesus each day? Our hearts and lives need to be transformed each day by the truth found in Word of God, and be ready to share this message with the others around us.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Happy Princes and Samaritan Heroes'. Reading from Luke 10, Kyle helps us to examine our hearts and consider: Are we like the priest and Levite, or are we like the Samaritan in the parable? Kyle teaches us the word Mishpat, the Hebrew word used over 300 times in the Bible. It is used to mean justice, but the full meaning is humility, mercy, love and compassion. His challenge: If we are indeed striving to be like Jesus, we cannot push helping those who are vulnerable and without to the side even though our lives are busy, but must make actively helping the vulnerable part of our Christian walk.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Andrew Elliott shares a lesson about 'Hell, and God's Judgment and Mercy'. Reading from Matthew 21, the 'Parable of the Tenants' Andrew helps us to see ourselves more clearly; how we can be just like these 'Wicked Tenants', rejecting God, his servants, and His word. He challenges us not to live a life deceived like these 'tenants' but to face the truth who we are. That we must change our motivation to live by gratitude for God's boundless mercy.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Scandalous Generosity'. Reading from the 'Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard' in Matthew 20, Kyle helps us to see what a person with a truly generous heart looks like. That it is not one that is keeping score and comparing oneself to others. When we compare ourself to others, we should not be filled with envy and anger, but filled with gratitude for the grace given. Kyle reminds us, you cannot experience the full powerful weight of grace until you embrace the full powerful weight of your sin.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Facing God'. Reading from Matthew 25, we read the 'Parable of the Ten Virgins'.

He challenges us: If today is your last day, are you ready to 'Face God'?

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Andrew Elliott, reading from Matthew 22, shares the lesson 'The Invited and the Chosen'. He shows us where God's people in the Bible were not following God's commands, and not responding to his invitation. How we are called to come to the 'banquet' (God's Kingdom). Andrew asks us to examine our lives, and reflect on God's invitation and asks 'How are we responding?'. And when we respond, we must also ask the question, 'Who are we overlooking to bring along?'.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Andrew Elliott reading from the book of Luke, shares the message 'The Chasm Between Hearts'. Andrew reminds us that God always knows our heart, what we value and what we set our sights on. He asks, 'What do you value? Are you valuing things of this world or things of God's Kingdom?’. Andrew challenges us to take time now, to soften our hearts, while we still can.

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman, reading from Matthew 25 and Romans 12, shares the lesson 'A Life of Worth'. His question: What gifts has God given you to use in His Kingdom?
