Lesson 12: Worship That Never Ends (Psalms 15, 24, 134, Isaiah 53)
Most congregations in the United States have one hundred members or less. That is true for my current church. While small churches have some advantages, a major disadvantage is in the area of worship. Several times in my life I have been in large groups singing praises to God. The power of so many voices is a wonderful experience which provides a feeling of great joy! This gives me a hint of what worship will be like in heaven. Is there any reason why small church worship lacks joy? I feel joy during worship in my small church. It is the power of many voices that is missing. Is anything else missing? Should we be careful not to confuse sound with faith? Let's plunge into our study of Psalms to learn more about worship now and in heaven!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
