Read bible-based teachings by Matt W. Leach, classic Camps Farthest Out speakers, and More.

Rev. Matt W. Leach preached on these seven subjects for forty years. Each study guide below gathers what he taught on one of them, and links to the sermons themselves.

Knowing God

Who God is, and how he makes himself known. The place to start if you have never been sure what picture of him you were carrying.

Prayer

Growing in the Word
