The (Illogical) Logic of “Just a Little” and the Myth of Harmless Sin
Wednesday July 15, 2026 11:00am - 11:30am CDT
Christians often comfort themselves with “a little” — a little gossip, a little drinking, a little compromise. This class exposes how small sins grow large and how logic unmasks self-deception.

Amazing Grace—Misunderstood: Grace Before the Cross and How the Old Testament Proves God Hasn’t Changed
Wednesday July 15, 2026 2:15pm - 2:45pm CDT
Many assume the Old Testament presents a harsh God and the New Testament introduces grace. Scripture itself tells a different story. This session examines how grace operates before the cross and how the Old Testament repeatedly reveals a God who forgives, delays judgment, and invites repentance. The lesson challenges modern misunderstandings of grace and affirms the consistency of God’s character across both covenants.
