"The Church United": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 32, Session 1: The Church Is Sent to Trust God
Reflect on the fact that James, a disciple of Jesus and brother of John, was executed at the hand of King Herod, while Peter, another disciple, would miraculously be set free. Did God display greater love to Peter than to James? Many believers find it easier to acknowledge God’s sovereignty when His will aligns with their preferred outcome. This...

“The Church United”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 32, Session 1—Peter Escaped from Prison
I don’t understand how a 7-800,000 pound Boeing 747 can lift off the ground and fly. I don’t understand how a 200,000 ton cruise ship can float.

"The Church United": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 31, Session 4: The Church Is Sent to Demonstrate Faith
Known as the “Hall of Faith,” Hebrews 11 reminds us of men and women throughout Old Testament history who walked with God in faith. In particular, the chapter speaks of their faith being evident in what these heroes did on the basis of what they believed. Their actions demonstrated their faith. Abraham is one of the more prominent examples...

“The Church United”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 31, Session 4—The Hall of Faith
When I was a kid playing baseball with my friends, one of the favorite things for us to do was to copy the batting stances of some our favorite professional players. If you aren’t very familiar with baseball, often players will have rather unique stances when they are up to bat and also when they swing. We loved mimicking...
