Are most Christians truly passionate about Jesus—fully committed, bold in sharing their faith, even willing to die for Him? Probably not. And that’s surprising… because we have the full Bible—the complete truth. So why does it often seem like those in false religions are more zealous than those who follow Jesus?
Today, Moses will finally make it to Egypt, but along the way, we will see how he deals with marital issues and commands of God! Join us as we see why the commands that God gives us are so simple and always for our own good. We will also discuss why so many church people always want to shoot the messenger!
Knowing Satan is alive and well and wants to derail our mission of loving Jesus and sharing Him with others, we need a battle plan! Join us today as we learn how to go to battle and win this war!
Jesus doesn’t just claim to be a teacher or prophet—He claims to be God. If that’s true, then everything changes: the Gospel is true, the resurrection is real, and Jesus is the only way to God. That means His words aren’t optional—they determine our eternity.
Join us today as we talk about two words that should change your life!
Today, we will read of Jesus casting out a demon, which begs the question: how much authority does Satan have over my life? What does he want from me? Can I be possessed by a demon? Join us as we answer these questions and see 2 places where Satan is influencing this world in a big way!
Darkness brings on fear and chaos. But Jesus said that He is the light of the world. But what does that mean for believers and non-believers? How does that affect our day-to-day lives?
What keeps us from God’s best? What keeps us from being used by God? Excuses. Moses used them and so do we but maybe not for the reasons you think! Join us today to see the root of why we make excuses and how it keeps us from the great place God has for us!
We spend time in prayer, but do we spend time listening to what God has to say? Join us today as we learn how God speaks, so when we have decisions to make, we can be sure His voice is what we are hearing!
When confronted with sin, Jesus didn’t excuse it—He called for change. Following Jesus begins with the word REPENT. When God moves into our lives, we WILL CHANGE!
We all have doubts. Does God REALLY care? Is God REALLY there? Is the Bible REALLY true? Join us today as we talk about why doubt just might be a really great part of your Christian life!
Tired of praying and not getting what you pray for? Maybe it’s time to revisit what prayer is all about! Join us today as we take a look at how Jesus says we should pray and I will share what I learned about God through frogs!
Many people are walking through hard seasons—health, marriage, work, or family—and it can feel like God is silent. But instead of letting our faith rise and fall based on outcomes, we are called to develop “EVEN IF” faith—trusting God and remaining steady even if He doesn’t answer the way we hope.
Every day, we are faced with different kinds of fear, and it can be debilitating. But the good news is that God never created us to be fearful! Join us today as we see what we can do to stop being afraid!!!
Tired of praying and not getting what you pray for? Maybe it’s time to revisit what prayer is all about! Join us today as we take a look at how Jesus says we should pray and I will share what I learned about God through frogs!
Are all Pastors, Commentaries, Study bibles or AI right all the time? No. So how do we get answers for people about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, creation, and the resurrection?
Do you feel unappreciated and overworked? Do you feel like you do everything for everyone and you are getting tired of it? Join us today as we talk about Martha – a woman with an “A” personality who wants to get things done but is frustrated because nobody will help! We will learn a valuable lesson about what to do when we fall into the “what about ME?” trap!
"Why? Why is this happening to me? Why are You not stopping the pain?" These are questions we ask God during our personal wilderness crisis, so join us today as we see the bigger picture of why God does what He does!!
As Christians, we talk a lot about what we believe. But do you know WHY you believe those things? Because knowing what we believe is one thing. Being able to explain why we believe is another.
The wilderness is a period of time where we learn about ourselves and about our relationship with God. Do I REALLY believe in Jesus? Do I REALLY trust He will take care of me? Do I REALLY believe He has a purpose for what I am going through? Join us today as we learn from Moses how to get closer to God through the wilderness as he meets God at the burning bush!
A house isn’t built in a day. Construction unfolds step by step, with daily progress that moves it toward its intended design. In the same way, when we are born again in Jesus, God begins a lifelong building project in us. Growth should be ongoing. Change should be evident. We are becoming what He designed us to be.
Regret. Shame. Embarrassment. Discouragement. All of these emotions you feel because of a bad decision you made at some point in your life. You feel you have crossed that line, and you are convinced that God could never use you, but what we learn today is that is NOT TRUE! Moses teaches us that God is the great Master Chess player and He can override with good anything we have ever done in our past!
Join us today as we learn from a town that Jesus cursed what we need to do to bring peace into our lives!
Today, we are finally finishing Romans 9 as we talk about why religion doesn’t work. We will wrestle with the question, “Is God unfair? Then we’re going to take a fun little historical journey to see when the word “Israelite” became “Jew” even though nobody has ever asked that question! Join us as we continue in the book of Romans.
Can you imagine putting your child in a basket and launching him into the Nile River and then walking away? That is exactly what happens in today's lesson as Moses' mother learns how to take a leap of faith and trust God for something she has no control over...the life of her child! For you it might not be a child but instead your health, your job, or your finances that you need to release to God! Join us today as we see what stepping out in faith looks like in our own lives!
Join us today as we see Jesus teaching the disciples important lessons about what "greatness" really means, why we are all on the "same team" and why Jesus doesn't "rain down fire" on those that hurt Him!
Are you confused about what God is doing in your wilderness—whether it’s a health issue, school, work, marriage, or struggles with your children? When life feels overwhelming, and nothing makes sense, what if the problem isn’t the situation but the perspective? In this lesson, we step back from the little picture and begin to see the big picture of what God may be doing—discovering that what we’re walking through might not be about us at all.
Life is filled with highs and lows so join us today to find out how to make it through the lows!
As Christians, we should read the bible. We should WANT to read the bible. But why don’t we? I would say maybe we don’t understand it but after these last 15 weeks in our Puzzled by the Bible series we can’t say that anymore! Now we know a lot ABOUT the Bible but maybe we don’t know how to read it or where to start! Join us today for our final lesson in this series as we pull everything together and talk about HOW to read the Bible.
When we read the Bible, do we read verses in context—or do we pull a verse, make it about ourselves, and miss what God was actually saying? That happens more often than we realize. But part of growing in our faith is learning how to read Scripture the way it was meant to be read. Today, as we continue in Romans 9—a very controversial chapter—we’ll see why context truly matters.
Archeology from the New Testament! Today we will see Biblical locations in Israel that have been uncovered which prove the Bible is true! Synagogues where Jesus taught in, Golgotha, the tomb of Jesus, pools, tunnels, and steps!
We all have wilderness times in our lives. It is those days, weeks, months, and years when life has changed. Maybe it is a relationship, a health issue, a divorce, a death, or a tragedy, and we want the wilderness to be over. But maybe just maybe the wilderness is the perfect place to be! Join us today for Lesson 1 in our new series on the life of Moses called "Wilderness Deception!"
Join us today as we see the importance of being awestruck by God and you will be amazed at the one area it affects the most when we are not!
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you ran ahead of God instead of waiting on Him? Maybe you’re living with the consequences of that decision right now. In today’s lesson, we’ll see that very thing happen in Scripture—and discover the hopeful truth that even when we make bad choices, God is still at work redeeming our story.
The Storms of life. Someone once said we are either going into a storm, we are in the middle of a storm or we are coming out of a storm and if that is true – we need to learn how to handle the storms of life when the waves rise and fall and the wind is howling all around us. Join us for our last lesson in the book of Acts as we see how Paul handles the storm on his final journey to Rome which will give us a clue on how we should too!
What do you do when you pray for something and have faith that God will come through but…He doesn’t? Join us for our Throwback Friday as we learn what biblical faith really is!
Can we lose our salvation? Once we are saved, are we always saved? These questions are debated in the church, but I think we are asking the wrong question, so let's see what Jesus Himself says about this.
When something bad happens that alters your life – how do you keep your faith? The answer: look at your life from the perspective of each unwanted circumstance is a piece that God is putting together to make one big beautiful puzzle! Join us to see how God wants to use our life puzzles!
Our lesson today will center on Satan, and his little band of demons, and the questions we will ask are: Does Satan have any authority in my life? Who is he really? What can and can't he do? Do I need to fear him? Join us as Jesus meets a demon-possessed man and with a mere word -- the demons flee!
If the Bible is inspired by God, CAN there be Contradictions? Actually, no! So what do we do with these supposed contradictions? Today we will show you how to find the answers!
The Bible says that before we can become a Christian, we have to be drawn by God. So, how does God draw us to Him?Does He draw everyone? Does everyone have a choice to say yes or no to His drawing?
5,800 Biblical Manuscripts have been found. That is an amazing number. But in those 5800 there are over 400,000 variants or variations. In other words – not all the manuscripts say the same thing. Should this cause us to be concerned? Does that in any way destroy our faith in the Bible? What about those 25 verses that probably shouldn’t be in the Bible? Join us today as we put your mind at ease about all of this!
Feeling Let Down By God - What happens when we trust God but He doesn’t seem to come through for us? Does that mean He is untrustworthy? Or maybe we are not looking at “trusting God” the right way! Join us as we see what the right perspective on trusting God really means!
Today, we will be talking about fear and how to overcome the sudden panic we feel when something frightening comes into our lives! Join us as we see from the life of Jesus how to live our lives fear-free!
Why do we follow Jesus? Is it because we believe He will make our lives easier, more comfortable, or more successful? Many people approach faith like a transaction—do something good, attend church, give an offering, and expect blessings in return. But is that really what it means to follow Jesus?
Today we will see all the makings of a Dateline television show: Persecution, Politics, Divisiveness and a Murder plot. Join us as we will see how the Apostle Paul handles all of it as he keeps his eye on Jesus even though his world keeps falling apart!
What's In My Heart? Do you roll your eyes when you hear about Jesus? Did you "used to" believe until tragedy struck or God did not answer your prayers like you wanted? Do you have very little time for the things of God because of work, family, sports or hobbies? Join us today as Jesus explains the Parable of the Sower and the Seeds as we look within our own hearts to see which soil, or state of our heart, we have!
What do we do when someone gossips or slanders us? We will learn the answers as we see how Paul dealt with both subjects!
Jesus is all over the Old Testament. That isn’t something we hear much about but today we will see how Jesus points to Himself in Old Testament passages and we will learn why that matters! Join us today as we continue in our Puzzled by the Bible series.
Are the books in the New Testament the right ones? How did they get there? Are we missing any? What about these new finds like the Gospel of Thomas or the Gospel of Peter - should they be in our Bible? Join us today as we find out why you can be sure that the Bible you hold in your hand has the right books in it!
The Old Testament. What’s it all about? How was it put together? How do we know we have the right books in there? Laws? Genealogies? Weirdly dressed prophets? Today we will learn history and timelines so you can see how the Old Testament fits perfectly for the arrival of Jesus!
Christians should read the bible but why is it that so many people claiming to be Christians never do? Maybe because the Bible seems confusing and daunting and without knowing the big picture, it makes no sense. Today we begin a 16-week series called Puzzled by the Bible. Join us today for Lesson 1 as we get an overview of the Bible is all about!
Where should we go to hear from God? How about church? How about Bible Study? But why is that not happening? Why are people bored at church? Why are people not hearing form God in the places they should be? Join us today to find out!
As a Christian, we are confronted with the question: Who is the ruler of my life? Do you live for your kingdom or God's kingdom? Join us as we discuss the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world and we will learn that each kingdom has a different ruler and a different agenda. We will be challenged to ask ourselves-which kingdom do I live in?
Why is it that so many Christians don’t love reading the Bible? Often it’s because Scripture can feel confusing. Without understanding the big picture, people get bored and give up. But once they begin to see what the Bible is really about, it comes alive—and not only will they love reading it, it will transform their lives!
We all have a passion for something but is what we are passionate about really THAT important in regards to eternity? Are we passionate about the one thing we should be passionate about – Jesus? And if we aren’t – how can we be?
Today, we will see Jesus at the home of a Pharisee: a very religious man who adhered to the Law of Moses. But then a Prostitute showed up and the Pharisee was angry because Jesus showed her compassion and care. Today we will be challenged to look at our own lives and determine – who do I resemble the most? The Pharisee or Prostitute?
God gave the Jewish nation so much, and yet they still walked away from Him. What can we do to NOT walk away from Jesus?
Imagine a day when something happens that would normally cause you fear: bad news from the Dr., a late night phone call, a police officer at your door or a summons to see your boss but instead of fear you face it with faith! Imagine living your life with confident assurance that God has your back and knows exactly what He is doing! Join us as we see the difference between the prison of fear and the freedom of faith!
Today we conclude our series in Revelation with Joel Richardson as he gives us some final thoughts on this amazing book in the Bible and why Joel believes the return of Jesus is closer than ever!
Physically we are continually growing daily but shouldn’t the same be happening spiritually? How do I make it in this life with all the heartache and trials? The answer: grow your spiritual roots so deep that no matter what happens you will bend but never break!
Where Will I Spend My Eternity - Today will be our last day in Revelation as we see the most amazing, incredible future we get to look forward to! From the beginning of creation to the end of time we see where we will spend eternity. As followers of Jesus our future is glorious and exciting and something we should look forward to with anticipation!
End Times. Islam. The AntiChrist. Persecution. Tribulation. We have been studying really difficult topics lately. But what makes me so sad? What makes my heart so heavy? Very few Christians are prepared for what is coming.
How To Deal With Stress As A Christian - Life brings stress so what are you stressed about? Join us today as we will see how the Apostle Paul dealt with the anxiety and pressure he was forced to endure and hopefully at the end of this lesson you will be a less stressed person!
When Jesus comes back, there are so many amazing things that will happen. We will be resurrected with new bodies. We will live on a redeemed and restored new Earth. Join us today as we talk about this!
Reading the Bible in context is so important.. To understand the meaning of any passage, we have to know what is before the verse we are reading and what is after. Then we will talk about Islam's worldwide agenda and what that looks like for the U.S.
Calvinism vs. Arminianism — two doctrines that shape how churches understand salvation. But what do they each believe? And more importantly… what’s biblical? Join us as I share our journey into and out of Calvinism. This condensed version comes from our Romans Lesson 23. Here is the link for the entire lesson • IS CHURCH DOCTRINE Replacing THE BIBLE? . ... if you would like to watch it.
When God Changes Your Course - Most of us have life planned out and the plan is to go one particular direction but then something happens and our plans just got changed! Welcome to life as a Jesus follower! Join us today as we see what Paul did when God rerouted him to a whole new direction!
Joel Richardson will talk with us about the hope we have when we die and what it will be like when we have new resurrected bodies! We will discuss the battle of Armageddon and the 1,000 year reign of Jesus on this earth!
Every church has its own doctrines about things like salvation, baptism, the end times, and the Holy Spirit. But when you read the Bible, are you looking through the lens of your church’s doctrine? Have you ever studied what you’ve been taught for yourself to see if, in context, it’s really what the Bible says?
Dealing With Conflict - Do you have conflict in your life? Maybe with your spouse? Boss? Children? Friends? Join us today as we say how the early church dealt with conflict so we will can learn the best biblical way to do it!
Islam is on the rise. Prophecy is being fulfilled. Are Christians prepared for this? Are we strong enough in our faith to withstand what is coming?
Mystery Babylon. Who is this? Where is this? Today we will be talking to Joel Richardson about the very difficult topic of who this could be and as we look around at the world today in the Middle East there is one very strong possibility!
There are storms in life that only Jesus can calm. There are needs we can’t meet on our own. And there’s an end-times storm on the horizon we must be ready for. Join us today as we talk about all of this!
Religious and Godless Women’s Bible Study – today we will talk about the two kinds of people Paul and Barnabas had to deal with: the Religious and the Godless. What characterizes these two types of people and how can we reach them?
Today we will see the final judgment on the earth as the Bowl Judgements begin but while this is happening Jesus is getting ready to reign on this earth so for all the bad it is about to get good!!
Nobody likes tests—but they reveal what we’ve really learned. This week, one of Jesus’ disciples, Philip, faces a test like no other. Has he learned anything from Jesus? Will he trust Jesus when it looks impossible?
God Can Restore Anything - No matter what you have ever done and no matter what has been done to you, God can restore you and even use you and your scars in a mightier way than before! Just like a beautiful painting that has been destroyed the Master artist can reclaim and restore you just like that back to His original design. Join us today for a lesson on never quitting!
Joel Richardson will be with us to talk about the Anti-Christ and what the Bible says about what we should be looking for! He will be sharing with us why the Anti-Christ most likely will not come from Europe but instead, we should be looking toward the Middle East!
Knowing God's will for your life is actually easier than you think! If God has a will for us, does He have a will for the world? For Israel? Join us for a very important lesson!

Today we will work through Revelation chapters 11 and 12 as we see the new temple that has to be built, the 2 prophets who show up on the scene, and the woman who we know as Israel being persecuted by a very angry Satan. Join us for a big day today!
God promises us a future where we will live for all eternity in new, resurrected bodies on a restored earth. Today, we’ll look at the big picture—from Genesis to Revelation—to see how we get there!
Join us today as we continue our study in Acts and talk about “fervent” prayer but does that mean God will always give us what we pray for? Not necessarily so if that is the case, why do we even bother to pray?
Scorpion creatures from the Abyss, a 200 million army, does Jesus come back before He rides in on a white horse? Also…what IS the 70th Week of Daniel? Join us for a powerful day!
Creation is groaning, but the good news is that it won’t always be like this. As Christians, we have hope that one day we will be a part of the Kingdom of God - the return and reign of Jesus to this earth, where we get new bodies that will last for all eternity!
God miraculously saves Peter and yet James dies a martyrs death. Why? Why would God save one and not the other? Join us as we see that by James dying – maybe he actually wins! He goes to heaven so what is heaven going to be like?
Today at the 7th Seal we will see when the rapture takes place. The Bible TELLS us when this will happen. After that – the wrath of God will come upon this earth in the form of trumpet judgments. Join us as we see the earth rapidly changing as the end is near!
Today, Jesus gives us a challenge: if you don't believe what I say, believe my 4 witnesses!

The Road To Heaven - Today Peter will see God move in amazing ways but his religious friends aren’t too happy with the changes happening! Join us as we see God continue to move making a point that Jesus is the very narrow and only way to a relationship with Him!
Before we embark on the Seal, Bowl, and Trumpet Judgments we are going to hear from Joel Richardson about why it’s difficult to get this timeline perfect!
We have heard that heaven is where we go when we die, but there is so much more to it than that! Today, we will see what Jesus says about our future, which involves Paradise, His return, the Rapture, the Resurrection of our bodies, and a NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH! Join us today as we continue in John!
Today we will see a huge change in the early church and we will ask the question – “how do YOU handle change?” Then we will learn how to know when God is speaking to us and we will see that from the changes happening in Peter’s life!
Today as John sees more of the throne room of heaven he comes face to face with Jesus and sees Him as a lion AND a lamb. What can we learn from that encounter? A LOT!
As Christians, after we die, Jesus says we will be rewarded for what we do for Him. Today, we will talk about the rewards He will give to those who persevere through trials and persecution, and to those who are looking forward to His return!
Miracles. Do you need a Miracle? If you are thinking yes or no to the question about needing a miracle; why were you thinking what you were thinking? Reading in the Book of Acts it seems as though there are a lot of miracles. In the book of Acts lets dig a little deeper and ponder on the question why? Why are there miracles in the Bible? How can we get a miracle and if we do is there a purpose? Join us today for the answer!
So many people who think they are Christians might not be. They may have missed step one which is hearing what JESUS said it means to follow Him.
What does heaven look like? Join us today as John sees first-hand what the throne room of Heaven looks like!
After we die, Jesus gives rewards to those who are genuine believers because true followers of Jesus want to live for Him, love Him, and serve Him. Join us today as we talk about this from the Gospel of John!
Today, we will see from the life of Saul why our Christian life has so many ups and downs. Just when we think life should get better, oftentimes it gets worse. Have you ever experienced this pattern in your life? Why is that?
What does it mean to be a lukewarm Christian? Are lukewarm Christians even Christians? Join us today as we learn from the Church of Laodicea how Jesus feels about those who sit on the fence without taking their faith seriously.
After we die, we are all going to be judged. But who will judge us? And why? Today, we will see how this plays out with two people who just recently passed away: Ozzie Osbourne from Black Sabbath and Hulk Hogan. What we will learn is that they both will be judged, but differently.
When we become a true born-again Christian everything in our life should begin to change. We see this from a man named Saul. Saul was a very religious Jewish Pharisee. He hated Jesus' followers but one day he had an encounter with the risen Jesus and everything changed. He went from Saul the Jesus hater to the Apostle Paul the Jesus lover.
As Christians, we need to understand that if we believe and follow the Jesus of the Bible that we are on the same team. We may disagree about things like End Times or if we should speak in tongues. We may disagree about when we should take communion or if we should sing hymns or modern worship songs. But those are non-essentials.
Today we see applause and appreciation from Jesus to the church of Philadelphia – a church filled with Jesus followers who were doing everything right! Join us today as we see what that looks like and how we can be just like them!
Do you have people in your life that want nothing to do with Jesus? They hate that you are a Christian. They hate the church. They hate it when you talk about your faith. It’s those people we think God would never save. Could never save. But today in Acts we will see that God can and does save people like Saul who will eventually become the great Apostle Paul.
Join us today as we continue our study in Luke as we talk about doubt. What we will see is that even very godly men like John the Baptist doubted! We will work through what our job will be to stop our doubting as we recognize that doubt - untreated - can kill our faith!
Do you look spiritually alive and yet you really are spiritually dead? Join us today as we see what words Jesus has for the Church of Sardis who He says “looks alive” but in reality is “dead”! If this church looks like us – what does Jesus say we can do about it?
People matter to God and because of that, God calls us as Christians to talk to people about Jesus. Today we will see Philip who did exactly that and because of this one encounter, people in Ethiopia know about Jesus today. We never know how far and wide the message of Jesus will go when we actually open our mouths and share Him with others.
Living on planet Earth is difficult. Think of tragedies and heartache, addiction, and politics. Think of wars and famine and earthquakes and hurricanes. But as Christians – we know this earth is just temporary and as a follower of Jesus – we know this is not our forever home!
Jesus confronts sin and false teaching INSIDE THE CHURCH and we see this from the Church at Thyatira. Join us as we see how this church has been linked to Jezebel in the Old Testament and why tolerance inside the church is deadly to our faith!
Some of you feel persecuted in your faith. Your family thinks you are crazy because you follow Jesus. Your boss thinks you are a Jesus Freak and your friends don’t want to hang out with you! Today we will meet Stephen who felt the exact same way and yet he never wavered in his faith!
Faith. What exactly is it? Today we will talk about this as a Centurion comes to Jesus and asks Him to heal his beloved servant. We will see Jesus’ amazing answer and see what it means to trust and rely on God for the things we need.
“Compromise will destroy your faith.” Join us as we learn that God has great things in store for us but when we compromise it only hurts us!
The problem in the early church came down to ”TIME.” Nobody had time to do what needed to be done, which begs the question: Are you exhausted because you are doing what everyone expects of you? Are you doing what you are passionate about or are you doing what others feel you should be doing?
People say they are Christians but they don’t read the Bible and don’t do what the Bible says. But Jesus says He must be “Lord” of our life so what should that look like? Are we building our faith on a solid foundation where Jesus is the center?
What are you feeling crushed by? Life? Heartache? Persecution? Whatever it is we will learn valuable lessons from the early church of Smyrna as Jesus commends them for staying faithful regardless of what was going on in their lives!
What do we do with tragedy? Heartache? Loss? How can we fit a loving, all-powerful God into this picture when we know God COULD have stopped something bad from happening but He didn’t?
Why should we read the Bible? Why should we know the Bible? Why should we store the Bible in our brains? Well, I assume it is because that is how we get to know God. That is how God changes us when we see how to live life His way. Join us today as we talk about the importance of really knowing the Word of God.
Do you do things for God but have no love for Him?? Are you busy working for God? Going to church and bible study? Giving? Serving? And if so – why are you doing those things? Today we will see the Church of Ephesus which was filled with Christians but the problem was – they lost their first love for Jesus. Does this church look like you? Busy but no love for God?
How big is your God? That’s a great question because how you answer that question will determine how you live your life. If God is big – you will live a life of peace. You will pray more. Believe more. Trust more. So is God big in your life?
We hear people say “Judge not lest ye be judged” so we are under the assumption that we shouldn’t judge anything. But that’s actually not true. There are times to judge and confront someone. Join us today to see what the Bible says about this.
We live in a world where Jesus has been made to be whoever someone wants Him to be! But is that the Jesus we see in Revelation? No way! Today we will see the true picture of Jesus that should change our lives!
Today we will talk about the war that is going on inside of us. The early disciples knew this battle well and what we will learn is there is a battle between our Flesh and the Spirit. The question is…who is winning, our flesh or the Holy Spirit?
Judging others. That’s easy for us to do. We don’t like how someone acts or dresses or what they eat or drink. But maybe we need to stop and ask ourselves: “I wonder why they do those things?” Today let’s talk about why we should think twice before we judge others.
Revelation begins as John begins by saying we are "blessed" to read this book! An amazing start to an amazing book!
So often we hear partial truths about the Bible especially when it comes to miracles or healing. As we study the book of Acts we see miracles happening all around the early church and we are told that is the norm, but is it?
Jesus asks us to "love the person who hurt me" or "turn the other cheek." But when we see what Jesus asks of us our first response is..."But I CAN'T..." Today we will see that yes you can!
Charles Cooper is with us today answering tough questions about Rapture. What does Revelation say about this? Join us today to find out!
Hypocrites? We see them inside the church and we see them outside the church. These are the people who say they are Christians but certainly don’t act like one. But sometimes – if we are honest, we sometimes fit in this same category. Join us today as we continue in the book of Acts.
Jesus said “Woe to those who are rich" but what does that mean? Is it okay for Christians to have money, travel, and have material goods? The answer may surprise you!!
We will continue our study on the Rapture as we see a timeline from what Jesus says in Matthew and what John says in Revelation. After today you may be shocked at the timing of the Rapture!
Are you struggling in your life or in your faith? Do you need someone to give you a chance or maybe a second or third chance?Join us today as we see how Barnabas did just that!

Religion. Intimidation. Threatening. Coercion. Rules. Keeping people under their thumb. If that sounds like the church you go to – you may want to run. Religion kills. Jesus saves. And when we are saved, we CAN’T stop talking about Him!
What will we DO? How we gauge our spiritual maturity is not in what we KNOW -- how much Bible we can recite -- but in how much in the Bible we DO!
If you are a follower of Jesus, the Bible says you are adopted by God. But what is more amazing is that God says you are also His HEIR. An heir to His spiritual fortune. Today we will see what that means and why knowing that should change how we live on this earth. Join us today as we continue in the book of Romans.
Are you religious? Most of the trouble Jesus had was with religious people.

She was a Mormon for 40 years and when she left the church for the first time in her life she felt freedom and peace.
When we become followers of Jesus, we begin to change because the Holy Spirit - God Himself has moved into our lives. Sometimes change takes time but here is what we know: change is inevitable!

When we become a follower of Jesus there is a spiritual battle within us between our flesh – what we want to do and the Holy Spirit showing us what God wants us to do. As we begin to change inwardly people will be able to see that we not only claim to be a Christian but we actually ACT like one.

When we first become Christians, we are kind of clueless as to what following Jesus is all about! Today we will learn more lessons from John the Disciple about what this looks like!
Jesus healed one lame man at the Pool of Bethesda but there were a lot of others who were not healed. Does God use non-healing to further the Gospel like He uses healing?
This is a divisive topic and your position comes from what denomination you come from.

So what does the Bible say?
We like life to be about us. We want to do things our way but when we become Christians, we begin to realize that now life has to be about Jesus and not about us. Today we learn this from John the Disciple!

Does your church tell you what you can and can’t do? If so, that is not what Jesus is after. He is after a heart change! This is why we need to know the Bible!
Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled but do Christians know what to look out for? Do we know where to be looking in the Middle East for the Anti-Christ because the Bible tells us the region he is coming from? Do we know a new Jewish Temple will be built and that is a sign the return of Jesus is close? Do we see what is going on in Israel as "Biblical Prophecy" being fulfilled?
When life changes sometimes we feel so sad. We know all the right answers in our head but sometimes our heart has a hard time catching up with our head. Today we will talk about why we don't need to get stuck!

When life gets difficult it’s easy to become fearful. We spend so much time asking the “what if” questions: What if I lose that person? What if I get sick? What if my child gets in an accident? That is no way to live life. Today we continue in Acts as we talk about who the Holy Spirit is and why He is so important in our life especially when it comes to worry!
Sometimes people get stuck and don’t want to follow Jesus because they have a past. They feel ashamed. They feel God could never love them. But that’s not true and we will learn today from a man named Levi who had to put his past behind him so he could follow Jesus!
John the Baptist had the right motive for following Jesus, and it was this: Jesus must become greater and I must become less. He must increase and I must decrease. Today let’s see what making Jesus greater in our lives should look like!
Imagine Peter, a good Jewish boy telling his parents he was going to follow a Jewish carpenter who claimed to be the Messiah! I bet that didn’t go over very well!

Join us today as we see what that means.
