First Evan | EvenSong | The End is Coming...

July 11 - August 1 Stacy will be teaching a four week series called The END is Coming: How Knowing the End Gives Meaning to the Present. In this study, we will explore how the Scriptures’ description of the End of the present Age calls us to Hope, Holiness and Action. The EvenSong services are from 6-7pm in the Fellowship Hall at First Evan (735 Ridge Lake Blvd Memphis, TN 38120). We would love for you to come join us. You can download the notes and the audio for this series in the links below. (Please check back each week; we will update as we go)

Summer Study: The Heart of the Matter

This year our Summer Study will focus on the Heart. At the core of all human activity lies the heart. At the core of every thought, desire and emotion lies the heart. Obviously, we are not talking about the physical organ that pumps blood through our bodies; we are talking about the spiritual organ from which our life flows. Proverbs tells us, “Above all else guard your heart, for from it flow the springs of life” (4:23). To go to the page for this study click here. Read More...

New Class: The Thessalonian Letters

For the Winter/Spring term, we will be studying through the letters of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Two of the earliest letters written in the New Testament, these letters give us a glimpse into the life of the early church and call us to ponder the role affliction plays in growth and maturing of Christ’s people. You can follow the study by going here.

New Resources: Life Transformation Groups

On Thursday, July 16th we hosted a student and supporter “thank you” dinner and First Evangelical here in Memphis. We were over joyed to see so many of you there and want to provide links to some of the resources mentioned that night. If you were unable to attend, we are posting the recording of the evening in the following link:

We also circulated some brochures about a new resource that we are going to test out called Life Transformation Groups. We need more than just “classroom” time to cultivate the transformation that comes about by focusing on Christ. These small groups meet to 1) hear the Word, 2) share life - celebration and confession - and, 3) motivate one another to mission. If you would like to read more about these, you can download the brochure here:

We are also working on several new MilktoMeat resources and tools. We will let you know more about them as we get closer to the Fall. If you would like to receive an email newsletter update about current events and new resources and opportunities, please let us know by contacting us here.

Thanks to all of you who support this ministry with your time, financial sacrifice, prayers and participation. We are excited about the days ahead, looking forward to the opportunities that our Father will surely give us all to proclaim the excellence of His unique Son Jesus!
