Today we look at the doctrine of creation. Does believing that God created the world make you a Christian? How does God relate to the world, and to us? Why does it matter? https://maitlandpres.org

Today we begin a new series “Confirmation for Everyone” Whether you are just starting to explore Christianity or have been in the pews for 40 years, this will be a time to focus on what it means to be a Christian. Each week we will cover one topic about the Christian faith and invite you to learn a memory verse, participate in discussion and read along with us in the book Christian Doctrine by Shirley Guthrie. We will start today by learning more about what the Bible is (and isn't), what we do when the Bible seems to contradict itself, and learn a few key guidelines for interpreting Bible passages. Most importantly we will see that our faith isn't in a book. It is in the person of Jesus Christ. https://maitlandpres.org

Homecoming Sunday is almost here! Here is what expect on September 12th https://maitlandpres.org

Nehemiah was an ordinary man who took on an extraordinary task. He took the initiative to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem. He didn't do it by himself, nor did he work any miracles, but he was a hero like no other. https://maitlandpres.org

September is a busy month here at Maitland Pres! Here is the latest news for this month https://maitlandpres.org

This week’s hero is Jonah from the book of Jonah in the prophets of the Old Testament. Some heroes run toward danger and want to save the world. Others, like Jonah, would rather run and hide. What does God do with reluctant heroes? And what if we are like Jonah in our reluctance to follow God? Will God give up on us? https://maitlandpres.org

This week’s heroes are David and Nathan from the books of 1st and 2nd Samuel. David has one of the most epic life stories recorded in the Bible. He is incredibly talented, but it is his character that makes him a hero. When his character fails, Nathan is there to help him. What should we do when our heroes fall? https://maitlandpres.org

This week’s hero is Esther from the book of Esther. Esther's story is unique in the Bible as it has no mention of God. This small book in the Old Testament will help us answer a very big question: What do I do if God seems silent? https://maitlandpres.org

This week’s hero is Moses from the book of Exodus. Moses has been the model for champions of the oppressed for thousands of years. We are always looking for the next Moses. But how will we know them when we see them? And what do we do if we're the Egyptians? https://maitlandpres.org
