The Bible is the most influential, most controversial, and most powerful book of all time. This book has been maligned and attacked for centuries and yet it continues to be one of the highest selling books in the West. Is the Bible merely a Myth—the product of human imagination—or is it a revelation from the One True God? Can we really trust what the Bible says? Is the teaching of the Bible repressive and out of touch with the times or will it lead us to true freedom?
In our study this year, Stacy Tyson and Seth Stevens will be team teaching a 6 week class that will explore how the Bible is currently under attack and how to equip yourself with answers to some of the most difficult questions in our day. Read More...

How Long, Oh Lord?: God’s Purposes in the Pain and Suffering of His People.” This study has never been posted to the website, but it is now available for download. In this six session study, we explore some of the difficult questions related to pain and suffering by seeking the wisdom of the Scriptures and the insight of mature saints who have struggle with this fundamental issue of the human experience.

In April we were pleased to welcome Seth Stevens to the full time staff of Truth Seekers. He began working with us part time at the end of last year and as we got to know him better, it became clear that he would be a good fit to help us develop and expand the ministry.

Seth is the son of Ronnie and Jane Stevens. Many of you will know Ronnie who served as the Pastor of First Evangelical here in Memphis from 1994-2003. Seth is married to Jennifer (Ekedal) who is currently working with the Orphanos Foundation here in Memphis.

We are very excited to have Seth join the ministry and wanted to give you an opportunity to get to know him a little in this interview that will also be featured in our May Newsletter. (ST) Read More...

We continue with our study of God’s purposes in History by looking that the context for the Noahic Blessing and Covenant.

In this class, we continue our study of God’s purposes as they are being worked out in History. The Blessing of Humanity in Genesis 1 becomes the foundation for all that is developed in the Scriptures relating to the rebellion and fall of Humanity as well as the saving work of God.

In the final chapters of Deuteronomy, Moses brings his final series of sermons to a close. Here, the Lord allows Moses to know that Israel will fall into more idolatry after his death and the covenant curses will fall on the nation. Yet there is hope. A glimpse of the New Covenant is revealed. In the later days, after both the blessing and the curses have fallen on Israel, the Lord will restore His people in order to fulfill the promises He made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

We begin a new theological series this week dealing with God’s purposes in history. Over the next several weeks we are going to be exploring the Biblical Covenants and how God’s self revelation through the Scriptures has given us insight into his plans for History. With this foundation, we will be looking at the different theological systems that attempt to give a big picture view of this, particularly Dispensational and Covenant (Federal) Theology, along with some other systems.

We continue with Moses explanation of the Torah and exhortation to love the LORD God and to have no other “gods” before Him. If Israel is to prosper in the Land under the blessing of God, they must be very careful to follow all of His instruction. This is especially true of the leaders who are to come.

In Deuteronomy, Moses calls the New Generation to faithfulness. They have seen how the LORD has carried them along and provided for them since Egypt. Now, on the border of Canaan, it would be foolish for them to not trust Him as He leads them in to take the Land. At the core of this call is the necessity of loving God with all that they are. Thus Moses explains and applies the reality of the first, and preeminent, of the commandments - you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul and strength.
