Easter Season

Easter Sunday has passed, but the joy of Christ's redemptive work and resurrection continue.
Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20

The Road To Emmaus

The Road To Emmaus DVD is a available for you—to view at home and to give to others. This 30 minute video focuses on that Easter appearance of Jesus to two of his disciples on their walk from Jerusalem back to their village of Emmaus. During their walk, Jesus' identity was hidden from them. "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself." (Luke 24:27) After he revealed himself to them, he disappeared from their sight. They returned to Jerusalem to tell the Apostles and those with them that they had seen the risen Lord. You can read the entire story in Luke 24:13-35.

Take a copy home for your use, take a copy for a friend. This video is a great way to share your faith and to show how all of the Bible fits together and points to Jesus as the promised Savior.

Sunday School

It is our joy as well as our responsibility to teach our children the precious message of our Savior. With this in mind, our staff look forward each week to sharing with you as parents this great joy.

Proverbs 22:6, Matthew 19:14

Something New For You

During our worship service every Sunday, we listen three portions of God's Word read from the lectern; we also sing part of a Psalm. Once in a while, the sermon is based on one of these readings. However, most of the time we only hear a short introduction to each of the readings. We don't have time during the worship service to delve into the background of each of the readings, to discuss any of them, or to talk about how to apply them in our everyday lives.

Salem has never before offered two different Bible class options at the same time on Sunday mornings, but that's what we're doing now. In addition to the Bible class held in the Family Ministry Center (FMC), we have a second Bible class in the church building from 8:45 AM to 9:30 AM. During this time we look a little deeper into the readings for the day. We look at more of the context, discuss them, and see how to apply them in our everyday lives.

This study focuses on the readings for the day, but we still have our Bible class held in the FMC that usually follows a book of the Bible or a topical study. Pick one and participate!

Something Still For You

Our Bible class held in the FMC is continuing a study of the New Testament book of Galatians. The Apostle Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to write to Christians in the province of Galatia to counteract things that were happening in the early Church that were undermining the message of the Gospel. There are challenges today within Christianity that need to be addressed. Our study of Galatians provides occasion for us to discuss them.
