As we continue our look at the Biblical relationship between men and women, we come to the first sin, often called the fall of man. We will see that, as God created men and women to cooperate with one another, they shared not only in that calling but also in their disobedience. But their shared disobedience drove a wedge between what God had created.

Acts 15 contains one of the clearest and most powerful pictures of church unity, yet in that same chapter, Luke records one of the New Testament’s most ordinary disagreements. We explore what led to the split between Paul and Barnabas and consider how their story shapes the way we think about conflict, calling, and the work God continues to do in His church.

In thinking about and praying about Linda's funeral this weekend, I've been relistening to her Immanuel testimony from 2017. I think you would find it meaningful and a testimony of who we all knew Linda to be.

Immanuel: Linda Bates - Bent Oak Church Linda Bates shares her story of how God revealed himself through faithfulness and healing.

Recorded between the dramatic scenes of Saul’s conversion and Peter’s calling to Cornelius are two unexpected miracles and a small detail about Peter’s accommodations in Joppa.
