Today, we will learn about the patience of God from a parable Jesus tells to the Pharisees that will make them SO angry!  We will also see what Jesus says to look out for regarding end times!

We have to read rapture verses in context because if we don't we will be deceived and we will not be prepared for what is coming.

Today we will say goodbye to Moses after walking with him through his life and his wilderness days! We have learned from Moses that the tough times in life - the hard times in life - the wilderness times in life can be the BEST times in life if we do it right! Join us as we see how Moses' last 40 years were so much better than his first 80!

When life isn’t turning out the way you hoped, the good news is—God isn’t surprised. Today we’ll look at the disciples, who expected Jesus to be King, but instead watched Him be crucified. Confused and overwhelmed, they couldn’t make sense of what was happening. Join us as we learn to rest in the truth that God always has a purpose—even when we don’t understand.

We are  looking at the key verses often used to support a pre-tribulation rapture but we want to encourage you to read these passages in their context so you see what they actually mean!

Today, Jesus heals a blind man, which begs the question - if He healed him, why not me?  Why do some people have easier lives than others?  Join us as we continue through Luke, as we meet the blind man and Zacchaeus today and learn valuable lessons from both!

After everything God had done for the Israelites, we'll see them replace Him with a golden calf. Why would they do that? And what could an event from thousands of years ago possibly have to do with us today?

Today we will begin to examine the passages most often used to support a pre-tribulation rapture. Rather than simply accepting what any teacher says, we'll read each verse in its context and ask what the Bible is actually teaching. Our goal isn't to defend a tradition, but to let Scripture speak for itself.

Today we will  see how God feels about our complaining! I was shocked to see how hurt and angry God is when we grumble about our circumstances since it is a direct reflection on how we think He is taking care of us!

Today, we will cover a myriad of points from millstones and forgiveness to humility and self-righteousness!  Join as learn valuable lessons on why we as followers of Jesus must look different!

Prophecy isn't just about knowing what will happen—it's about changing how we live today. In this session, we'll discuss the practical implications of understanding the timing of the rapture, what it means to endure to the end, and how believers can prepare to remain faithful no matter what lies ahead.

How do we know if God is speaking to us? Leading us?  Pointing us in a certain direction?  Or is it my own thoughts?

Before Jesus comes back, there will be two kinds of people on this earth: those who live life for themselves and those who live life for God.   Today, we will talk about the days of Noah and Lot and what separated them from everyone else.  We will also talk about the importance of persistent prayer in a society where we want everything right now!!

The rebuilding of the Third Temple is significant for understanding the timing of the rapture!

Life changes daily but the good news is that God is always leading! We will also learn what our purpose is in this life and it all comes down to one word!

Leprosy - a horrible, debilitating disease that destroys people and families is the focus of our lesson today as Jesus heals 10 of them in a gracious act of kindness.  But what is their response? Amazingly, only 1 comes back to thank Him!  Why is that? Why did 1 find Jesus to thank Him, but the other 9 did not?  Join us today to find out!

How is the rapture connected to the rise of the Antichrist? In this lesson, we'll examine Jesus' words about the "abomination of desolation" in Matthew 24, why this event is so important for understanding end-times timing, whether believers will be able to recognize the Antichrist by comparing Scripture with current events, and how Christians are called to discern the season of Christ's return.

Strongholds - The Red Sea on one side and the Promised Land on the other side so what is keeping you from crossing the sea in to the Promised Land? Is it anger or shame? Addiction or fear? Lust or insecurity? Join us today as we talk about how to get past our strongholds so we can live the abundant life God has promised us!

People all around us will spend eternity in a place called hell, which should utterly break our hearts. Join us today as we discuss the topic of Hell, Hades, and Sheol as we learn what happens after we die.  We will also discuss what Heaven, Paradise, and Abraham's bosom mean. Knowing there are only two places we could be going after death ~ our job is to tell people that we have the answer ~ JESUS!

We have all heard of the 7 years of tribulation but what do these final years consist of?  Today Joel Richardson will help us distinguish between tribulation and God's wrath by looking at Jacob's Trouble, the Tribulation, the Great Tribulation, and the Wrath of God. Understanding these distinctions is essential for understanding where the rapture fits in God's end-times timeline and what believers will experience.

What are you afraid of? How can you get past your fear? Today we will see the terrifying moment when the Israelites see the Egyptian army chasing after them to take them back to Egypt and they are hemmed in with nowhere to go. We will learn from Moses how to overcome fear and move forward to the Promised land!

Who should I give my money to and how much should I give? The answer to those two questions will give us a clue as to what is in our hearts!!

Understanding the timing of the rapture requires understanding God’s plan for both Israel and the Church. A key question is how these two groups relate to one another in God’s prophetic timeline and what role each plays in the events of the last days.

The long way is the path God sometimes allows us to take when life doesn't unfold as expected. It's the season of unanswered questions, delayed hopes, and confusing circumstances. You keep praying, but God seems silent. You keep walking, but you can't see where the road is leading. Join us today as we learn valuable lessons from the Israelites as they too were led the long way around.

What does the Bible REALLY say about giving money?  Join us as we take an adventure through the Old Testament and the New Testament to see if tithing is something we should be doing and you may be really surprised at the answer!

Never underestimate the influence you have in this world when you talk about your faith, as we will see from the Israelites this week!  As they leave Egypt, we are amazed to see others follow them out, but why would someone leave their homeland?  Join us for this very important lesson!

Today, we will tackle a very difficult parable where Jesus seems to praise someone who is unethical!  We will learn a spiritual truth from this story that will help us look at our spiritual life a little differently!  Then we will talk about how to have an undivided heart for Jesus, which begins by asking ourselves a few "why" questions!

Why do so many Christians cling to a pre-tribulation rapture even after seeing the verses examined in context? In this study, we’ll explore why deeply rooted traditions can be hard to break and how we can learn to read prophecy through Scripture itself—not simply through what we’ve always been taught.

When good things happen, we are so grateful for God being involved in our lives, but…what happens when something bad happens?  The tragedy, the heartache, the pain.  Is God involved in that, too?  Join us today as we talk about how intricately involved God is in ALL things in our lives!

Today we will be talking about the older brother of the prodigal son who is filled with pride and self righteousness and we will ask the question: "Do I look more like the prodigal son or the older brother?" We will show you an illustration about a jar that will point out why we can never think we are better than anyone else!

To understand the rapture, we may need to read the Bible differently than we’ve been taught. Instead of viewing prophecy through a Western mindset, Scripture points us toward an Israel-centered perspective focused on the return of Jesus and God’s promises to His people.

Your religion.  The way you were raised.  The church you belong to.  What the media is telling you.  What if everything you have been taught is wrong?  Do you REALLY want to know?  Join us as we talk about the ONLY way to get to God, and for some people, they may have to walk away from what they have known all their lives in order to receive the truth!

Have you wandered away from your faith?  Has the world enticed you to follow it instead of Jesus?  How does God feel about that?  You would be amazed at the answer!  Join us today for a study on the Prodigal son and the incredible love his father has for him as he welcomes him back home!

Joel Richardson talks about the Rapture! Many Christians have been taught that the rapture will happen before the tribulation. We’ve seen it in movies, read it in books like the Left Behind series, and heard well-known pastors confidently preach it. But what if the timing of the rapture doesn’t unfold the way many expect? Could it shake people’s faith?

The wilderness times in our lives are what God uses to change us! On the other side of the wilderness, we will know God better and trust Him more.

Do we understand what following Jesus really means?” What does it mean when He says there is a "cost" to following Him?

Why should we believe the Bible? One powerful reason is Israel. What God promised about the land, the Jewish people, and their future is unfolding before our eyes exactly as He said it would. And if God has been faithful to keep His promises to Israel, then we can trust that everything else He says in Scripture is true as well.

If you are a follower of Jesus, your life matters in such an amazing way! Today, we will see how the lives of Moses and Jesus were a part of this epic story from creation to salvation and how their story should affect ours!

With all the religions in the world, how do I know which one is right? How do I know my belief system will get me to heaven? Join us today as Jesus tells us what the narrow path to heaven really looks like!

How were people in the Old Testament saved if Jesus is the only way to God? What about people today who have never heard His name? And if the Jewish people rejected Jesus, does that mean God is finished with Israel forever? Join us as we continue through Romans and answer these important questions about salvation, faith, and God’s plan for Israel.

Pharaoh's life wasn't going as he expected. Moses was in Egypt with a message from God: "Let My people go!" But Pharaoh refused, and his heart became hard toward God, which begs the question: how can we keep our hearts from getting that way when things don't go our way?

When something goes wrong in our lives, our instinct is often to blame God—as if it must be His fault. But what if we’re asking the wrong question? Join us as we wrestle with this: Is God really unfair to us… or are we being unfair to Him?

As we tell people about Jesus, the reality is, many if not most, won’t listen or believe. The Bible explains why—and we’ll talk about that today.

When people become followers of Jesus, their natural tendency is to make a checklist of all the things they should do to make God happy with them. They think they should do more, pray more, serve more, but in the process, they get burned out and discouraged. Join us today as we help you break free and change that mentality as we show you how God sees you and how that alone will change your life!

This video from Luke was recorded many years ago, and since we recently hosted an End Times Timeline Conference, I thought it would be helpful to include a session from that event featuring Joel Richardson.

We know Jesus today because the message was passed from person to person, starting with the early disciples who witnessed Him firsthand. Before leaving, Jesus commanded them to go and tell others—and that mission continues with us. The question isn’t if we share, but how we do it.

Today, we will see God produce miracles through Moses as He turns a stick into a snake and water into blood.  The problem is that Satan does the exact same thing through Pharaoh's magicians, which begs the question:  if Satan can reproduce God’s miracles, how do I know what is God and what is not?  Join us for a very important lesson today regarding how Satan gets to us, and it doesn’t always happen through evil means.

Worry!  We all feel it, but Jesus knew in His day that people spent countless hours worrying about things completely out of their control, so in today’s lesson, we will talk about how we can stop this!

What if you had never heard about Jesus—where would you spend eternity? There is no Plan B. We are God’s plan to get the gospel to others. Eternity is on the line… so why do we stay quiet?

Moses confronts Pharaoh, and it doesn't go as planned. Moses is left confused and frustrated with God.  Join us today as we see what to do when God does something different than we think He should!

Jesus continually told His followers: "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid."  But then He comes along and says - "Oh wait - there is one thing you really SHOULD fear!" Join us today to see what that is and learn how not to fear!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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?

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!

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.

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?

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?

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!

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!

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!

Who Are You Listening to -  today we continue in Acts as Paul reminds us of the importance of knowing who we are listening to!  How can we know if what we are hearing is true?  Join us today to find out!

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!

Have you ever felt you are supposed to do something big in life and yet the doors aren’t opening? I bet Paul felt that way after 10 years in obscurity when he knew God had a plan for his life but nothing was happening! Join us today as we talk about why God puts us on shelves!!

Jesus begins breaking the Seals on the scroll and when He does, we are introduced to the first six seals including the Anti-Christ, Wars, Famine, Martyrdom, death and the sky receding! Join us for a powerful day as we begin the 7 years before Jesus comes back and reigns on this earth!

Why does God allow tragedies like the assassination of Charlie Kirk? What can we learn from his death, or any kind of sickness or heartbreak or abuse? Join us today as we look at this from a biblical perspective.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Life is constantly changing and when it does – who are we getting advice from? Nonbelieving friends? TV? Podcasts? Internet?  Today we will see that Jesus wants us to get advice from Him so we can look at our life through what we call “God glasses.”

Today we will talk about the different views of the Rapture and answer questions like: “Will I go to heaven before the tribulation starts?” “Will I have to go through any of the 7 years?” Join us as we see what the Bible has to say from the Book of Revelation!

Discouragement...we have all felt it. Life doesn’t go as planned. We can never get ahead. Life is changing so rapidly. Today we will talk about how to battle against discouragement, and we will meet the greatest encourager in Acts....Barnabas!

People heard Jesus was nearby. They heard Jesus would heal them or make their lives better. But what we see is that most times – people didn’t want to follow Jesus – they wanted something from Him.  Do we do the same?

As we begin our study in Revelation, we dig into the verses to see how God uses prophecy to tell us how the world will end! Join us as the adventure in the fascinating book begins!

What is prayer all about? Why even pray because sometimes God says NO and when he does that how can I have peace about it?

Every day we make choices that affect our future, and the Bible helps us learn to make good choices that will give us a blessed and peaceful life. Today we will talk about some biblical principles that hopefully will help us make good decisions!

Joel Richardson is with us today as he answers questions like: Why is Revelation an important book to study? What does Revelation teach us about God the Father and Jesus? Why did God make this book so difficult to understand? Does anyone ever teach Revelation with 100% accuracy?  Join us today as we begin our study in Revelation!

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. Today we will see this huge difference between religion and a relationship with Jesus as we talk to a woman who was raised in the LDS church. 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!

As a Christian, you have been adopted into God’s family. But if God is a good Father – why do bad things happen to His kids? Join us today as we continue in Romans.

Miracles. We all need them. We all pray for them. But sometimes God says no. Sometimes He leaves us unhealed  or leaves us without a miracle. So what do we do? How do we handle this? Join us today as we talk about miracles where God said yes to some and no to others but either way – God has a plan.

When we become a follower of Jesus our POSITION is “In Christ” but along with our position we have a CONDITION and that condition includes our sin nature. Join us to see why we should begin to look different each day!

To those who want to know about Jesus, we are a fragrance of life. But to those who want nothing to do with Jesus to them, we are a fragrance of death. Our job is to give people an opportunity to know Jesus but we are not responsible for their choice!

Do you feel like God is always mad at you when you mess up? Have you ever wondered "why" we should do what God asks of us? Join us today to find out!

When we decide to follow Jesus we become a NEW Creation. The old things pass away. But if that’s true why do I still sin? Why do I still say that, do that or think that? Will this ever go away? And if not - what can I do about it? Join us today as we continue in Romans to find out the answers!

God entrusted us with the job and that job is to tell people about Jesus. But why don’t we want to do that Why aren’t we passionate about this? Today we will talk about WHY we should share the good news of Jesus!

We live in a day where we have more free time to do anything we want but as a follower of Jesus – what do we do with our time? Do we use it to learn more about the Bible so we can know God better?

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.

God is in control. We see that throughout the Bible, but some people don’t like how life is going for them. But, God has a purpose and plan which is why nobody has to have pity parties about their life any longer!

Does God “showing up” in miraculous ways grow our faith? Usually not. Today we will see why the silence of God should grow our faith and not turn us away from God.

Today Jesus faces off with the religious Jewish leaders as He heals a man on the Sabbath.  This is unheard of, but Jesus is making a point.  Knowing God is about Jesus – not about traditions and man-made religion.

Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, stands up to preach an amazing sermon to the Jews who should have been prepared for this day! Their Scriptures prophesied this would happen so why were they confused?  Today let’s talk about Prophecy!

If someone walks away from their faith in Jesus, are they still considered a Christian? We will talk about this in light of what Judas – a disciple of Jesus – did.

Religion. Man-made rules. Adding to what God said in His Word. When Jesus told a healed man to pick up his mat on the Sabbath the religious Pharisees were so angry. Why? Because they thought Jesus wasn’t following the Law. But is that what the Law really says?

When it comes to speaking in tongues is there a secret prayer language?Should we pray in tongues? Are there rules in church services regarding how to speak in tongues?

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. If you come from a charismatic church you believe everyone should speak in tongues and if you don’t, you might not be saved. If you go to a strong bible church Nobody would ever think that way. 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!

One day Jesus asked a man who had been lame for 38 years this question: Do you WANT to get well? Do you WANT to be healed? Because if Jesus healed him, everything in his life would change. Today we will see how this plays out in our own lives!

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit showed up in wind and fire. He breathed spiritual life into those who followed Jesus. WHY? So they would go do something and serve God wherever He needed them. The same should be true of us today!

I love Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies so I came up with a great illustration about cookies and following Jesus! Today – the recipe for following Jesus.

Jesus performed a lot of miracles but was there a purpose behind them or were the miracles just random? Why do some prayers for miracles NOT get answered THE WAY WE WANT?  Join us today as we talk about this.

Were the disciples qualified to BE disciples? In the eyes of those who knew them – I doubt it. But the great news is that God changes us so we can take the good news of Jesus to those around us even if we don't feel qualified!

As followers of Jesus, there was a day when EVERYTHING changed! The Day of Pentecost because suddenly the Holy Spirit, God Himself, would indwell believers. Today let’s see why the day of Pentecost was a pivotal moment for all of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus.

The Bible says I have died to sin. We are free from the bondage of sin. But if that’s the case, why DO I still sin? Then we will talk about what we need to do with the sin that creeps up in our life and we will learn that sin is a predator!

Rejection and the Lord's Prayer read by Melania Trump. Today is my 2017 rant regarding how people claiming to be Christians so often don't act like Christians and it is a reminder to us that to follow Jesus means we need to love and care for others!

The disciples were all different.  They had different jobs and different personalities.  These were the men who would carry the message of Jesus into the world and the good news is that means God wants to use us all!

How do I know if I am a cultural Christian or a true born-again Christian? 2 Corinthians 13:5 says we need to examine ourselves so let’s do that today!

Rejection. We have all felt it but when God was choosing a new disciple after Judas, the guy who WASN’T picked for the job never felt rejected because he saw God’s hand in it all. Today let’s talk about that!

When Jesus picked His disciples – He didn’t pick the brightest and smartest.  He picked those who were unschooled and self-centered. But those were the kind of men Jesus knew He could use and transform and He can do the same for us!

Are we hearing the truth about Salvation? In this age of cultural Christianity, I am not sure we are hearing the full and true story. Join us today as we see what biblical salvation looks like from the book of Romans.

We hear a lot of people say things like “God told me to do this or that.” How do we know that God is actually speaking to us? Today let's talk about that as we continue in Acts chapter 1.

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!

Do you follow the Bible or do you follow rules given to you by your church? Jesus never approved of religion or legalism but He was born into a time when there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law who didn’t like what Jesus was offering:  Freedom FROM Religion and Legalism!

Living water. Jesus tells the woman at the well that this is what she is missing in her life so what is this? Join us today for the answer!

The Holy Spirit has so many roles. Comforter. Strengthener. He leads and guides us. But it’s in the difficult days that so often God feels distant. Today we will talk about those times when we just don’t feel His presence and we will talk about what we can do to get our eyes refocused on Him.

Christians aren't perfect. Some people have a past. So how do we treat them? Are we a Judge or are we a Doctor?  Are we judging or trying to help them heal?

If you are a Christian that means someone was courageous enough to have shared the gospel – the good news of Jesus with you. Do you remember who that person was? Because you will spend all eternity with God because they cared enough about you to tell you this amazing news. Are you THAT person for others?

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! But after Jesus arose from the dead everything changed for Peter and now he couldn’t stop telling people how Jesus changed his life!  The same should happen to us. How do we tell others about Jesus? Today we will give you some tips!

Sometimes there is this fork in the road and the question is: Are we going to take the path where we live life for ourselves or are we going to take the path of following Jesus and live our lives for Him? We will look at this today in light of sharing our faith!

Do we understand what the TRUE Gospel is because there are a lot of counterfeit gospels out there. Can we tell the difference? Where we spend eternity is at stake with which gospel we believe!

We tend to think of the church as a building. But the early church didn’t have buildings. They knew that THEY were the church and they had a mission – to get the good news of Jesus out into the world and the same is true for us! We are the church and we have a mission. Join us today as we see what that means.

When we surrender our life to Jesus something changes but this has nothing to do with religion or rules.  Instead, our heart changes. But doesn’t God give us a bunch of rules? Not really!  Join us today as we talk about this!

You had a plan for your life, and you were pretty sure it was God’s plan too. But then out of the blue – that plan tragically changed. You are shocked and confused wondering, REALLY GOD? What are You thinking?

What does the Baptism of the Holy Spirit mean? If you ask 10 different people from 10 different churches you will get 10 different answers! Why? Because some of you come from Charismatic backgrounds. Some of you come from Bible church backgrounds and there seem to be two different camps regarding this topic. Let’s see what the BIBLE actually says!!

We all sin. We all feel the weight of our sin and what that can produce is a feeling that God is mad at us. But we forget that Jesus paid for our sins! He covered our sins. Today we will see how God looks at us and we will use the illustration of potholes and asphalt to make this point!

Last week we talked about all the different spiritual gifts people have who help at our Bible Study but there are actually more spiritual gifts than what we talked about! Maybe yours is the gift of faith or the gift of healing. Today we will continue talking about other gifts of the Spirit that you might have!

We are always busy. We don’t take time to stop and smell the roses and I think the same thing happens regarding reading the Bible. We are on a time schedule so maybe we grab a quick devotional. Maybe we read a quick verse before we go out the door. But if we want to know God and what He is like we are going to have to slow down and open our Bible and read it slowly!

God created us all differently. We all have different personalities and different abilities and when we become a follower of Jesus we all use our different gifts to point people to Him!  We are all part of the body of Christ and each part matters!

Sometimes God says “no” to our prayers because as a follower of Jesus, sometimes God has a different plan for our life than what we think should happen. This week we will continue talking about the leper that Jesus will heal and what is amazing is that this man’s life plan did not include getting leprosy and yet God used it to teach us something about Jesus!

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.

After Jesus rose from the dead He spent 40 days talking to His disciples before He ascended into heaven. But they knew Jesus would leave again and for this small group of disciples, it would be their job to get the good news of Jesus out into the world. But how would they do that? Join us today to find out!

Most of us have never had contact with a leper but back in the days of Jesus – these were the outcasts. They were hopeless and helpless. They weren’t allowed into society yet Jesus didn’t run from them but instead ran to them. What do we do with those who are outcasts?

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!

The Holy Spirit has a job and it’s not to do weird things through people like make them bark like dogs or laugh uncontrollably. How do we know that? Because the Bible tells us so. And guess who wrote the Bible? The Holy Spirit. We can’t separate the Bible from the Holy Spirit!

What do you like to do? What are your gifts and talents? Are you using those gifts and talents for yourself or to further the good news of Jesus? How long have you been a Christian? Are you changing spiritually? Are you growing in your faith? What can you do that will further the kingdom of God?

Archeology is one reason out of many why you can and should believe the Bible is true because, unlike other religions that claim events happened, but there is no archeological proof, the Bible is proven over and over to be true by what is found under the ground! Today we will see archeological finds dating back as early as 4,000 years ago to the time of Abraham, Jacob, Joshua, and Daniel.

People say weird things about the Holy Spirit. They attribute things to Him that He probably didn’t do. The Holy Spirit told them to get a divorce. The Holy Spirit told them to marry that non-Christian. Does the Holy Spirit REALLY say these kinds of things to people? Join us today as we begin our series in Acts!

Bible Prophecy. God tells us in advance what is going to happen and then it does like 300 prophecies about Jesus! Today we will do a connect the dots puzzle with 17 of these prophecies to show you why you CAN and SHOULD believe the Bible!

What is our final eternal resting place? The 1000-year reign is over. Satan is thrown into the lake of fire. The final judgment is over. Then what? How about a new heaven and a new earth?!  Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.

A lot of people are bored in life. They watch TV and play sports or spend time on their hobby which aren’t bad things but is that what we are living for? We have a purpose in life and as a follower of Jesus – our purpose is to serve God in this life. Join us today as we ask ourselves “Am I filling time or fulfilling my God-given purpose?”

The 2024 Elections are finally over. We have a winner. But as a Christian - a follower of Jesus - does it REALLY matter who sits in the White House? Does that change our purpose in life?

Biblical Prophecy. This is when God tells us in the Bible what is going to happen in the future and then it does. Not once but thousands of times. Any book that does that we should pay serious attention to because nobody can tell the future but God! Today we will work through one big prophecy in Daniel!

When Jesus comes back, the Bible tells us He will rule and reign on this earth from Jerusalem for 1000 years. There will be a lot going on during these years like rebuilding the earth. Followers of Jesus who had been dead or raptured will have new resurrected bodies. What is this going to look like? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.

Jesus spent 3 years of ministry telling people how to know God and be reconciled to Him. Jesus would explain that it was through Him alone. That was a really important message to get out because where someone spends all eternity was dependent on Jesus telling them this amazing news. As followers of Jesus. that is our job too. Join us today as we continue in Luke 4.

Why does the Bible say “No one can see God and live” and yet we see people like Moses who seem to have seen God and lived? Why does the Bible say Jesus was in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights but He actually wasn’t? Are these contradictions? Today we will continue talking about supposed Bible Contradictions and explain why there can’t be contradictions in the Bible because if there were – the Bible couldn’t possibly be inspired by God!

The Rapture. The Return of Jesus. We see Jesus coming back to this earth with the angels and all His followers but what is the timeline for this? Does He return to earth and go back to heaven to get everyone and come back on a white horse? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

How seriously do you take your faith in Jesus? Is Jesus someone you take out of a little box and Sunday mornings and then put back in until next Sunday? Because if so you may just be a Fan and not a true follower. Join us today as we continue in Luke 4 talking about being a Fan, Follower and having “alone” time with God.

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!

Jesus tells us exactly when the rapture will happen. He tells us in Matthew 24 that the rapture won’t happen until the sun turns black, the moon turns red, and the stars fall from the sky. And when is that? AFTER the 6th Seal in Revelation which is after the midpoint of the final 7 years. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Why did Peter follow Jesus? Did he know WHO he was following? Did he think Jesus was just a Rabbi? How did Peter get to know Him? Today we continue in Luke 4 as we talk about why it is important to know Jesus and how we can do that!

When Jesus returns will everyone see Him at the same time? But we live on a globe. How can that happen?What does “as the lightning comes from the east” mean? There are a lot of questions but here is the bottom line: However this happens, nobody will miss it. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

We don’t have to be fearful of Satan because as a follower of Jesus – indwelled by the Holy Spirit, Jesus is more powerful than anything Satan can throw at us. Today we will continue in Luke 4 and talk about what WE can do to protect ourselves from Satan’s tactics.

Do we have the original manuscripts of the Bible? If not, do we have copies? Are the copies we have reliable? How many manuscripts do we have? Are we still finding manuscripts today? How did God preserve them? Today we will talk about why we can be sure that what we read in our Bible today is exactly what was written thousands of years ago!

God wants people to come to Jesus so what happens in the final 7-year period? God is so gracious because He sends an angel to go throughout the earth to give a final warning. You need Jesus. Fear the Lord. Come to Him. Even up until the very end, He is calling out to people for salvation. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline ConferenceHere is a Link to our End Times Timeline Conferencehttps://womensbiblestudy.com/category/end-times-conference/

Why are Christians afraid of Satan and demons? We hear all the time people say “Satan is attacking me” or “Satan is bothering me” but if we have the creator God of the universe living within us - the demons have to flee. They can’t hang out around us. God has all authority over Satan. Join us today to see why you never have to worry about Satan or his demons again.

We hear that the Bible has been translated so many times that it can’t be right. But is that true? How can we know that the Bible we read today has the same words that the Holy Spirit inspired thousands of years ago? And what about all the translations? ESV. KJV. NKJV. NLT. Which is the best and most accurate to read?

During the final 7-year period, especially after the 3.5-year mark when the Anti-Christ begins persecuting Jews and Christians, will the persecution be worldwide? Will this affect us in the United States? England? China? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Religion destroys us. Religion makes us feel we can never do enough to make God happy. Religion makes us feel distant from God. But that is not what Jesus wants from us. He wants our heart and when He has our heart He changes us on the inside. What happens then is that we begin to love Him because He first loved us. Join us today as we continue in Luke Chapter 4.

Why did the Catholic Church add extra books to the Bible? Are these added books considered inspired by God?Did the Jews accept these books? Did Jesus or the Apostles think they should be there? When were these extra books written and why does that matter?  Join us as we explain why there are more books in the Catholic Bible and why that should concern us!

We hear all these ideas about what the Mark of the Beast might be. A microchip? A vaccine? But what does the Bible say? Well – not that!  The mark of the Beast is not something you can be forced into taking. This is not something you can accidentally take. This mark is something that will be a choice and your eternal destination is dependent on what you choose. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Jesus came back to His hometown but His town was filled with religious people who loved their religion. They didn’t love what Jesus had to say. So, they tried to kill him. Here’s my point: People didn’t like Jesus back then. People don’t like that we follow Jesus today. But we need to know it’s okay if people don’t like us because of our faith in Jesus!

Who is the Angel of the Lord? He shows up in the Old Testament and claims to be God. He accepts worship.Who could this be? What about those times when God is in the garden with Adam and Eve or when God shows up to Abraham and Jacob, Joshua and Moses? Who is this? I think we only have one choice. Join us today as we talk about Jesus in the Old Testament.

We have heard that the Anti-Christ will rule the whole world. This idea is taken from Revelation 13:7-8 where it says the Anti-Christ is allowed to make war on the saints from all people, tribes, nations and languages and all who dwell on the earth. But what does that mean considering all the other end-time passages? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Jesus hated religion. He came to release captives. Preach the gospel to the poor. To free those who were oppressed. But for religious Pharisees of the day, those things were unheard of.  They wanted to do something. They wanted to impress people. They wanted people to think they were so religious. But Jesus comes along and destroys that kind of thinking as He was hoping for a heart that would love Him.

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.

Does the Bible tell us where the Anti-Christ will come from? Actually, it does. General vicinity anyway and it isn’t Europe or Rome or America or Romania. Join us today as Joel Richardson explains where the Anti-Christ will come from and why it all has to do with Israel and the Middle East.Here is a Link to our End Times Timeline Conferencehttps://womensbiblestudy.com/category/end-times-conference/

Jesus hates religion. Religion says I have to do things in order for God to love me.  Religion says the more right things I do – the more He is pleased with me. But religion is not what following Jesus is about. Jesus wants our hearts. Join us today as we talk about the religious culture Jesus stepped into and where this religious thinking came from.

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 final 7 years will start with a treaty with Israel. Possibly for peace. Possibly for protection. So, it would seem that Israel would have to be on friendly terms with the Anti-Christ who will be a part of this treaty. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Jesus was tempted. We are tempted.  Temptation is not a sin but it is what we do with our temptation that matters! We need to put some things in place between the seeing and the doing! Join us today as we continue in the gospel of Luke.

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!

A timeline in Revelation for the SEAL, BOWL, and TRUMPET Judgements can be confusing. Do these judgments happen one after the other? Or do these happen all at one time? Can we really know? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Jesus was tempted to sin because Satan wanted to derail His mission. We are tempted to sin and Satan wants to derail our mission. So, what should we do? What should we do when something looks really good but we know it will hurt us? Join us today as we see what Jesus did.

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!

Jesus gives us a timeline for end times events but what does that have to do with us in America or Australia or any country outside Israel? Is this a worldwide thing? What should we be watching out for? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question for us from Matthew 24  from the very words of Jesus Himself.

The Return of Jesus. The procession up to Jerusalem as He is setting captives free. The Jews will finally believe He is their Messiah. These events have been prophesied throughout the Bible which is why we MUST read the Bible because God tells us exactly what is going to happen. Join us today for our final session with Joel Richardson as he pulls everything together and talks about the return of Jesus to the land of Israel.

Jesus gives us a timeline for the End Times, but He also tells us that nobody knows the day or hour. Pre trib teachers say this verse proves a pre trib rapture but it actually doesn't! Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.Here is a Link to our End Times Timeline Conferencehttps://womensbiblestudy.com/category/end-times-conference/

Revelation 17 talks about Mystery Babylon depicted as a Harlot. A city of Idolatry. A city of great influence. A city in the desert. As the end times approach who could this city be? Joel Richardson tells us why Saudi Arabia fits this description!

Many well-known Pastors and teachers teach a pre-tribulation rapture, but these are people who have been to Bible College and Seminary. So, how is it possible that they can read all the verses we have been studying, and see in context what the Bible says and yet they refuse to teach that the Bible NEVER says there is a pre-trib rapture?

We hear people say all the time: Jesus could come back any day so be ready. But is that true? According to the Bible – actually no. Yes - Jesus is coming back but some things have to happen before He does and rebuilding a temple in Jerusalem is one of those things. Join us today as Joel Richardson shows us where this is in the Bible.

1 Thessalonian 5:9 is a verse used by pre-trib pastors and teachers to say we will be raptured out of here before the wrath of God. But is that what this verse is even talking about? Actually in context – no. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

The land of Israel was given by God to Israel. Is dividing the land the answer? Should the Palestinians get a portion of the land and The Jews get the other? Today Joel Richardson will help us see how destructive this was in the Old Testament and how destructive it would be today.

We have been taught that Jesus is coming like a thief in the night, and He could return any time, so we are to be ready. But if you look at this verse in context, what Paul says is that Jesus is coming as a thief in the night to unbelievers. Not believers. Unbelievers will be shocked.Believers are supposed to be ready. Then we will talk about who the RESTRAINER is because there is a lot of controversy about that. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

As the End Times approach False Christs, False Prophets, and False Teachers will appear. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing who will try and deceive even those who are true followers of Jesus. So, what can we do to NOT be deceived? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question very candidly regarding someone in his life who ended up being a false teacher.

When it comes to studying End Times, we must be like the Bereans in Acts 17:11 who searched the Scriptures for themselves. That is what we need to be doing because times are changing fast and our pastors or teachers may be wrong about their end-time scenario.

If you were raised in church, you were taught that Jesus is coming back. You heard it could be any day. But He hasn’t come back yet so what is happening now that makes us think the return of Jesus is closer than ever? Join us today as Joel Richardson explains what is going on in the world that makes us think the time is almost here.

Revelation 3:10 “I will keep you from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole world” This is a verse that pastors and teachers will use to say that we will be raptured out of here before all the bad stuff starts. But is that what this verse means in context? Actually, no. This verse doesn’t have anything to do with End Times or the Rapture! Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.

Hamas and Hezbollah. We have been hearing a lot about them in the news lately but what is amazing is that prophecies regarding the last days happen in Tyre, Sidon and Philistia which are the modern-day places Hezbollah and Hamas are wreaking havoc in today. That is why we need to study biblical prophecy because God tells us locations so we can be prepared. Joel Richardson will talk about this in today’s session.

Many of us have been taught that before the final 7 years of tribulation begin, we will be raptured out of here. This is called a Pre-tribulation rapture but where did this teaching come from? Since it is a fairly new concept why are pastors preaching this? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.

We all have favorite pastors or teachers who we trust that they know what they are talking about when it comes to End Times. But what if they are wrong? Would you ever know? Have you ever studied End Times for yourself? Join us today to see what Joel Richardson says about this  along with talking about why there is this everlasting hatred of the Jews and why that is prophecy being fulfilled.

Why are pastors teaching a pre-trib rapture? Are there any verses that support this? The answer is no. Not one single verse. But why are they taking this stand instead of preparing their congregation for what is coming? Why is it dangerous for Christians to believe this? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.Here is a Link to our End Times Timeline Conferencehttps://womensbiblestudy.com/category/end-times-conference/

When we read a prophecy in the Bible it might not make sense because sometimes it is meant for that specific time period but it can also be for a future time period. Today Joel Richardson will give his thoughts on this and what we can do to make this easier.

Can Jesus return any day now? Is His return imminent? We hear pastors say to “Be ready because Jesus could show up today.” But does the bible say that? Actually no! Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Almost 3000 years ago it was prophesied in Psalms that Jesus would come back to rule and reign on this earth. When that happens there will be peace. But for now, there isn’t peace on this earth. There is turmoil. There is injustice. The nations rage against each other. But someday everything will change. Join us as Joel Richardson helps us understand why this prophecy is coming true today.

We hear a lot about the rapture. But what is it? Where is it in the Bible? What is the point of us leaving this earth and meeting Jesus in the sky? When will this happen? Before the 7 years of tribulation starts? In the middle? Toward the End? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Did anyone prophecy about your birth, like where you would be born? Probably not but for Jesus His birth was foretold 600 years before He was born! And not only His birth but WHERE He would be born. Join us today as Joel Richardson helps us understand why this prophecy is a great reason to believe the Bible and to point others to Jesus because of the accuracy of the Bible.

People think Jesus can come back anytime but the Bible doesn’t say that. Certain things have to be in place before He returns like a Temple in Jerusalem has to be built. But why is this a prerequisite to the return of Jesus? Jesus tells us the reason in Matthew 24. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.Here is a Link to our End Times Timeline Conferencehttps://womensbiblestudy.com/category/end-times-conference/

Jesus. The Bible is all about Him. The Bible has prophesied His coming all that way back in Genesis. We are told what He will do to Satan. We are told what tribe He would come from. We see genealogies in Matthew that prove the Bible is 100% accurate. So, if that is true – we need to take the Bible seriously because it is prophesied that Jesus will come back again to set this world right. Join us today as Joel Richardson explains why prophecy is a great way to share our faith.

We have been told there is a 7-year period called the 7 years of tribulation but where does the Bible say that?Will we know when these 7 years start? What event should we be looking for that kicks this off? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

Prophecies. There are thousands of them in the Bible where God told us in advance what will happen and then it did. So, because of that, with God’s track record at 100%, the Bible is a book we need to pay attention to especially because the world is changing so fast. What is next on the prophetic timeline? What is going to start happening according to the Bible? Join us today as Joel Richardson explains why studying prophecy is SO important.

The World we live in is changing fast and yet the bible tells us exactly what is going to happen in the future. What to expect before the return of Jesus. But why aren’t more Christians studying this? Better yet - why SHOULD we study end times? Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference.Here is a Link to our End Times Timeline Conferencehttps://womensbiblestudy.com/category/end-times-conference/

For God so loved the world that He sent Jesus -  the greatest rescue event of all time but what are we being rescued from? Do you WANT to be rescued? Join us today as we continue in the Gospel of John!

We hate temptations. Our flesh wants to do things we know we shouldn’t be doing. So where do temptations come from? Satan. Satan tempts. But God tests us which is completely different!

Life is difficult. We have marriage problems. Work problems. Money problems. Health problems. But as followers of Jesus, we should look at all those things differently than someone who isn’t a Christian. This is why knowing the Bible is SO important regarding suffering because we have a different kind of hope!

Genealogies remind us that God has a plan for our lives! He wants to use us! He wants to use our children and our grandchildren and we can see that from Jesus’ genealogy.

Why are so many people confused when they hear the good news about Jesus? Why is it that someone can read the Bible and yet it makes no sense to them? Why is Nicodemus having a difficult time understanding what Jesus is telling him about being born again? Why are people afraid they might not be saved because of their past that they can’t get over? Join us today to find out!

Genealogies in the Bible. Most people think they are boring to read so they pass right over them. But they are actually fascinating to see how God preserved the lineage from Adam to Abraham and then to Jesus. But in the Gospel of Matthew and Luke there are two different genealogies for Jesus seem contradictory. What is that all about?

Am I really a Christian? Am I really saved? Am I really going to heaven? How do I know for sure? Those are the questions that might haunt you. You lay awake at night wondering “Am I doing enough? Am I believing the right things?” And you never feel convinced. So today let’s get the answer and settle this once and for all in your life! Join us as we continue in the book of Romans.

John the Baptist. He had a ministry. He promoted Jesus before Jesus showed up. But then he was thrown in prison and beheaded. What? Join us today as we talk about the cost of following Jesus.

We know people who all their life wanted nothing to do with God. But then one day – EVERYTHING changes. Suddenly the good news of Jesus makes sense to them. Suddenly they WANT to follow Him. But what happened? It’s as if they were spiritually dead and then became spiritually alive. Join us today as we see what Jesus says happened as we continue in the Gospel of John.

If Jesus showed up at your house, what would He find? This was John the Baptist’s job to prepare people for the arrival of Jesus. But what does that look like? Join us today as we continue in Luke.

Recently there have been more and more UFO or UAP sightings. Should we be concerned about what people are seeing? What are they? Extraterrestrials in spaceships coming to our planet? What does the Bible have to say about this? Join us as we continue in the Gospel of John.

God can use anyone and when He needs something done He often uses the most unlikely people in the most amazing ways! Today we will see that as John the Baptist steps on the scene. This is a man who yells and is rude to the religious leaders of his day. A man who dresses like he is homeless and who eats bugs. But this is a reminder that God can use anyone -even someone like that to fulfill His purpose. Join us as we continue in Luke.

Times are changing and because of that, Pastors should be teaching the Bible. Pastors should be preparing their people to stand up amidst persecution. Pastors should be telling people what Jesus said it means to follow Him which consists of counting the cost. Taking up our cross. Seeking His Kingdom over ours.  Is that what we are hearing on Sunday mornings?

Today we will see how God can use wicked political leaders for His own purpose. Then we will ask this question: Have you ever accidentally lost your child? Mary and Joseph did that with Jesus when he was 12. Today we will talk about those things as we continue in Luke.

Today we are going to see that being born again spiritually is a lot like being born as a baby physically. It takes time to grow up. Years in fact.  The same is true with a spiritual born again birth. Join us today as we continue in the Gospel of John

Imagine God telling you that you are to wait for one specific thing to happen and He asks you to wait for it. So you wait. And you wait. And now you are getting old but you really do believe God, so you continue to wait. Today we will meet a man named Simeon who was told by God that he would not die until he saw Jesus, but he would have to wait. And then one day at the temple a young woman walks in with a baby and Simeon knows that with this baby – his waiting was over. Join us today to see the importance of never giving up.

Why is it that so many people who claim to be Christians act no different than non-Christians? Why are our churches so divided? Why is there so much anger, bitterness, sexual sin, and gossip going on among professed Christians? Well…it could be that these people claiming to be Christians aren’t really Christians.  They might be “unsaved believers.” Today we will hear this from Jesus Himself as He teaches 2 parables that remind us that in the church there will be true born-again believers and false, unsaved believers. Then we will talk about what a true Born-Again Christian actually looks like! Join us today as we continue in the gospel of John.

When Jesus was born the angels didn’t show up to the religious elite. They didn’t show up to announce the birth of Jesus in a fancy stadium filled with people. They didn’t show up where there was noise and commotion. They showed up in a quiet field where undistracted Shepherds were watching over their flocks. Join us today as we see why we should strive to look more like Shepherds than religious elite.

Jesus said we must be born again but we live in a time where cultural Christianity is prevalent. We are told that to become a Christian all you have to do is believe in Jesus, pray a sinners prayer, or accept Christ into your heart. But is that what the BIBLE says? Is that what JESUS says?  Join us today to see what being born again should look like.

Following Jesus can be difficult especially when we begin to take our faith seriously. We can lose friends when we don’t want to do what they do anymore. We can get fired for refusing to lie for our boss. We don’t get those invitations anymore because nobody wants to hear us talk about Jesus. Today we will see how this plays out for Mary and Joseph as Joseph has a decision to make: Care more about what God thinks or care more about what others think. Join us as we continue through Luke today.

We TRY to be a good Christian. We try to read our Bible every day. We attempt to help people. We throw some money in the offering plate. But we often do those things in hopes that God will be happy with us. But is God impressed? Actually – NO! He wants us to do all those things but for a completely different reason. Join us as we talk about what that reason is in the book of Romans.

Sometimes, we have this view of Jesus that He was meek, mild, and always cheerful and happy. But that isn’t the biblical picture of Jesus. There were times when Jesus was angry. Righteously angry. Today, we see this as He takes a whip and clears out the Temple because the Religious Leaders had become about greed and not God. Then, we will discuss how that plays out regarding our modern-day Christian churches today.

Mary is pregnant with Jesus. She is undoubtedly confused. She probably wonders – what is going on? She needs someone to talk to. This week Mary travels to her relative Elizabeth and Elizabeth will help Mary remember that no matter how bad it looks, no matter how much it doesn’t make sense humanly what has happened, God is right in the midst because He always has a plan.

Hypocrisy. We see it all around us from people claiming to be Christians who don’t actually ACT like Christians. Today we will ask this question: Are we living in such a way that people DON’T want to follow Jesus because of us? Are we saying one thing and doing another? Join us as we continue in Romans

So often Life changes in an instant. We wonder – what is God doing? We are confused. Today we will see how that plays out with Mary. Her life is going one way and suddenly an angel shows up and says “God has a different plan”. Join us today to see how to move from being confused to accepting God’s new plan for your life.

Fear.  A natural response to a perceived threat. We have all felt it and Mary the mother of Jesus was just as susceptible to fear especially when she heard she would be the mother of the long-awaited Messiah. But for Mary, she handled her fear differently. She surrendered her will to God’s will and that might be the best cure for fear known to man.

What does it mean to follow Jesus? Is it like clicking the “follow” button on Facebook and now you and Jesus are friends? Or does Jesus expect more from us? Then let’s talk about alcohol. Are Christians allowed to drink? What does the Bible say? Join us today for the answer to that question as we study Jesus’ miracle of turning water into wine.

Favored by God. We think being favored by God means a new car, a big bank account, and a month-long vacation at the beach. But as we will see today – being favored by God usually means hardship and we will see that when the Angel Gabriel shows up to Mary with a message of “you are favored” but her life would never be easy from that moment on.

How would we feel if an angel showed up with a message from God? Would that scare us? Possibly because as we see today –the Angel Gabriel showed up and it terrified Zechariah! But I love what the angel Gabriel says: I have a message and I just came from the presence of God. Today we will see what that message was!

What exactly is baptism? Do I have to get baptized to be saved? Is being sprinkled as a baby considered being baptized? Is everyone who is baptized actually saved? But a more important question is this: What should be happening after I get baptized? That’s a lot of questions that we will answer today as we continue through the Gospel of John.

I hate it when God is silent. It makes me feel like He isn’t paying attention. It makes me think He might not care. Today, we will see that is not true! Even in God’s silence, He works behind the scenes to get all the pieces in place for His perfect timing. Join us today as we see how this plays out in Luke.

Luke desired to write an orderly account of all the events surrounding Jesus’ life, and he did that by talking to eyewitnesses. Today, we will see why Luke’s job as a reporter and investigator is so important to us. We need to know the truth of what happened so we have a solid biblical foundation to stand on!

Before Jesus comes back, Israel will be at peace. This peace will usher in the Anti-Christ. But before that, there will be a huge war coming from the North of Israel. Today Joel Richardson will help us make sense of what the Bible says is going to happen next.

The culture says living a homosexual lifestyle is fine. We hear that people should be able to love whomever they want. Even some churches agree with the culture. But today in Romans we will see what God has to say about it. Join us for a really important lesson this week!

We just saw it in Gaza. Radical Islamic terrorists killing Jews. But why is that? Where did this hatred come from? Today Joel Richardson will help us understand this.

What will matter on your deathbed? Sounds a little morbid, but think about right before you take your last breath - will you be thinking about God’s kingdom and heaven or thinking about your kingdom and how sad you are to leave this earth? This week Jacob and Joseph will leave the pages of Scripture and we will learn why it matters that we end well.

The majority of Americans believe in a pre-tribulation rapture but what if it doesn’t happen that way? What if we have to go through a large portion of the 7 years of tribulation? Will we be ready? After what just happened in Gaza with Hamas I started thinking about why we need to be prepared. Today I will talk to Joel Richardson about this.

Today we start a series in the Gospel of Luke with 10-15 minute lessons for those of you who want to learn the Bible but don’t have as much time as others. Join us as we begin Luke in small bite-sized lessons!

Sometimes we get confused when God moves us, especially when it doesn’t make any sense. Today we will see how this plays out as Jacob and his family have to move from Israel to Egypt and what we learn is this: no matter what is going on in our life, God is with us. God has a plan. God is always working behind the scenes. Join us today as we continue through Genesis.

With everything going on in Israel with Hamas Iran and Hezbollah does that have anything to do with End Times? Is this the beginning of the end? What should we be looking out for next on the prophetic timeline? Today I will talk to Joel Richardson and he will answer these questions for us.

If you were a Volkswagen and you wanted to become a Cadillac – what would you have to do? Would you be considered a Cadillac if you put a Cadillac emblem on your Volkswagen or does something else have to happen? Today we will learn a valuable lesson about what it means to be born of God by that illustration and what we will see is how being born of God is directly related to Jesus stepping out of heaven and coming to this earth. Join us today as we continue through the Gospel of John.

What part of our life have we given to Jesus? Do we give him 1/8 of our life or 1/12th of our life? Do we give Him an hour on Sunday or Wednesday, and the rest is ours? Is He just like a piece of a pie instead of the whole pie? Today in Romans, we will see what Paul says about this, and we will see that as Christians, the Bible says Jesus has to be at the center of the entirety of our lives because if we say we are Christians, that means we are called saints and have a calling on our life. Join us today to see what that looks like.

After we die. What happens for all eternity? Resurrected bodies. The Triumphant Return of Jesus. The 1000-year reign on this earth. The Bema Judgement. The Great White Throne Judgement. The New Heaven and New Earth. Those are some of the events that will take place after we die and it will be amazing!

People are afraid to die. Christians are afraid to die. Why is that? I think it is because we don't know what happens after we die. Do we go to sleep? Do we go to a specific place? What will we do? Will we know people? Will we remember Earth? What does eternity look like for a Christian? Join us for Session 1 of our 2 part series Eternity Timeline.

Evil people.  They seem to be winning but what we will learn today in Psalm 52 is a reminder that God will make sure they don't!

The war in Israel with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Is this the beginning of the End Times? For the first few minutes of our lesson, we will talk about what is going on in Israel and then we will move into our normal Lesson with this: someone hurt us. We can’t get over it.  Today we will see how we actually CAN get over it and why the Bible says we MUST get over it. We will see this in our lesson as Joseph finally reveals to his brothers who he really is and he does so with the message of forgiveness in his heart.

Think of the worst thing you have ever done.  It was wrong.  You knew it then but now you can’t get over it. What you did haunts you. It hurt so many people. The reminder comes flooding back in the most inopportune times. Good news: there is a cure for that as we will see today in Psalm 51!

Jesus came to this world to give us light. Spiritual light. But it is our responsibility to turn that light on and when we do the world should look different. We should look different! Join us today as we meet John the Baptist who was given the job of pointing people to the light. We will also talk about the Trinity - one God in 3 Persons and try and make that easy to understand!

It's easy to thank God in the good days. It's not so easy to thank Him in the bad days. But in Psalm 50 God says that thanking Him is a sacrifice He honors.  Join us today for this amazing Psalm!

Should we take a stand against religions that teach a different way of salvation? Yes and today we are going to see how Romans changed not only one man's life but how it changed the course of Christianity as we know it. Join us today as we see how God used Romans to change lives back then and how He is doing that today as we learn from the first 7 words what it really means to be a true follower of Jesus.

Money. Fame. We can't take either one with us when we die so what should we be living for? Join us today to find out!

Life is like a puzzle. Each event in our life is like a piece of that puzzle. But if we don’t have a picture of what the puzzle is supposed to look like ahead of time, we can be confused. Today we will learn that God can see the whole picture. We can’t, so that means most of our lives will mean living out our puzzle by faith! Join us as we continue our study in the book of Genesis and how this plays out with Joseph.

Here is why we study the Bible: because life changes. We like life when it changes for the good, but when it changes for the bad we need something to cling to. Something to give us hope and peace. Join us for Lesson 2 in the book of John as we see why reading the Bible is so important for living life in a broken world.

Why is Jerusalem still there? Think about that. Many countries in the Middle East would like to wipe Israel off the map. And they should be able to. Israel is a tiny little country. But it will never happen because God says that Israel is HIS! It will ALWAYS be there because Jesus will reign from Jerusalem when He returns. Join us today to see what Psalm 48 says about this!

If a baby drank a bottle of baby formula all of their life until they were 100 we would wonder – what is wrong with the baby? Why aren’t they growing up so they don’t need baby formula anymore? Now think of that as a Christian. If a Christian just drank spiritual baby milk all their life – we would wonder the same thing. Why are they not growing up in their faith? Why are they not eating spiritual solid food? New series in Romans starts today!

Someone hurts us. We want revenge. We tried to move on. That person is standing in front of us. We have sin from the past. We don’t know what to do with it. Here’s what we will learn: God has been in it after all.

The world seems so out of control. Tsunamis and earthquakes – evil and sin. And yet in our Psalm today we are reminded that God is still King over the earth! Join us today as we learn why that matters to us!

As Christians we should WANT to read the Bible. We should love it. Treasure it. But why don't we? Why are our Bible's sitting on a shelf or on a coffee table and never opened? Join us as we begin a new series in the Gospel of John!

If I have enough faith when I pray - is God obligated to give me what I want? Well...not exactly. Join us today to see what BIBLICAL FAITH is!

The ocean scares me. Probably because I feel so out of control as the waves crash in the midst of a storm. But that is a lot like life. We can’t control what goes on around us. In todays Psalm we are told that amidst the storms in life God says this: "Be still and know that I am God." Join us today to see how to turn our chaos into stillness.

Are we supposed to "feel" God's presence in our life because most of the time I don't! Is that the normal Christian life? Join us today to find out!

We all come to crossroads in our life and wonder: “should I go THIS direction or THAT direction?” Today we will show you how to make sure you take the right road!

How can Psalms be written hundreds of years before Jesus and actually be about Jesus? Today we will see Jesus in Psalm 45!

Why won't God answer my prayers the way I want? Sometimes praying feels like a waste of time but...is it? Join us today to see what Jesus says about prayer!

Sometimes we are confused when God doesn't do what WE think He should! Sometimes we are confused when He asks us to do something that makes NO SENSE! Join us to see what Jeremiah did when God asked him to do something that sounded crazy!

The Christian life is filled with ups and downs. One minute we are thankful and the next we are confused. Sometimes we wonder...God are you sleeping? Can You not hear me? Join us today as we work through Psalm 44.

Sometimes we don't "feel" like a Christian. Sometimes we don't want to read our Bible or go to church. Does this mean we might not actually BE a Christian?

Sometimes when we come across of famous verse in the Bible and read it in context, we suddenly realize: IT DOESN’T REALLY SAY WHAT I THOUGHT IT DID! Today we will see why it is important to actually read the Bible instead of just listening to what others say about it!

We feel sad. We feel depressed. Life is difficult. But what should we do? Our lesson in Psalms today will give us an answer!

Do I have to "do" something to become a Christian? Join us today to see what the Bible says about this!

Today we will talk about the word "Radical". That’s a word we don’t really like because it seems too extreme. But should we follow Jesus in a radical way? Let’s see how this plays out in Jeremiah’s life!

We usually think about sowing and reaping in terms of doing bad stuff and reaping bad stuff. But what about sowing good? And then reaping good? Today we will see how this plays out in the life of David in Psalm 41.

Why does someone believe in God? Is there any proof He exists? Today I want to talk about why I believe in God and why I think you should too!

Just like a Potter creates something beautiful from a lump of clay God does the same for us!  Join us today to see what that process looks like and when the Potter is done – His creation is beautiful!

Sometimes we feel like we are in a pit. We pray.  God is silent. We wonder if He even hears us. The good news, as we will learn from our Psalm today, is that God actually does hear so don't get discouraged! He will lift you out of that pit!

Do we have to keep the Sabbath as a Christian? Join us today to find out the answer!

"God told me..." We hear this a lot lately. Someone says: God told me who will win the election. God told me you should move to another state. God told me you should marry that person. But how do you know if God REALLY told them anything?

So many people get frustrated with following Jesus because they think life should GET BETTER NOT WORSE. They assume that as a Christian bad things shouldn’t happen to us. But is that true? Join us today to see why as a Christian trials are actually a good thing!

Do you ever think you have done something so bad that God would never forgive you? Never want you back? The good news is that's not true! Today we will see God's amazing patience He has as He waits for you to return to Him!

Waiting is something we all have to do in life!  But the question is:  do we “wait” well or do we “wait” poorly?  Today we will learn some lessons from King David on how he learned to wait well on God!

What is "Backsliding"? Is this a normal Christian practice? How does God feel about it? Join us today to see what He says to Jeremiah regarding backslidden Israel!

Because of all the weird things people say about the Holy Spirit, we tend to not talk about Him. We tend to ignore Him. We don't understand Him. But He is VITALLY important in our faith because He is the One who leads, guides, and changes us.

What we think about really does matter because what we think about can move us forward in life or keep us stuck!  Today we will see from the life of Jeremiah that he had to get his thinking right so he could push forward and serve God!

We hear that we need to "ask Jesus in our heart" if we want to go to heaven. But does the Bible actually say that? You may be surprised at the answer!

Being Born Again - the most miraculous event. When we are born physically we live for 0-100 years but when we are spiritually born again, we live FOREVER in eternity! What should this born again experience look like? Join us today!

Turn around. Come back to God. Leave your idols behind. Stop drifting. Jeremiah preached that message to backslidden Israel. He told them if they did not repent that God would do something drastic to get their attention. Jeremiah's message is important for us today!

Can someone who claims to be a Christian live in continual sexual sin? Homosexuality? Adultery? Sex outside of marriage? What does the Bible say about that?

The man in white. He is showing up in dreams in the Middle East. He is showing up in person in the Middle East. He claims to be Jesus but is this REALLY Jesus? How can we know for sure? Join us today to find out!

How good do I have to be to go to heaven? Is there a scale? Is God weighing my good deeds and bad deeds? Actually no! Join us today to see what it takes to go to heaven!

Some of you are going through really difficult days. Tragedy. Heartache. Pain But here is what we will learn today. Our faith grows most in the darkest, most difficult times in our life. Faith doesn’t flourish in the good days. Faith flourishes when we see God’s hand in the midst of our trials. Join us today as we see how this plays out in the life of Joseph.

What is life really about? It goes by so fast but is there a purpose? Today David tells us there really is!

We hear a lot about the Mark of the Beast and we want to know –  what exactly is it? Will I know it when I see it? Will I be forced to take it?  Can I unknowingly take it?n Today we will have those answers for you!

We hate to wait. We hate it when life changes. We hate new normals. But today we will learn that during the waiting time God is always working behind the scene to get us to the NEW place He needs us!

Do you feel overwhelmed because of your sin? Burdened by your sin? Guilty because of your sin? Is it weighing you down like extra baggage? If so – today’s lesson is for you as we see David dealing with the guilt of what David did to others and to God and how God takes his baggage away!

Have you ever wondered What happens after we die? Do we cease to exist? Do we go to sleep and never wake up? Do we go to a better place or a worse place? Let’s find out the answer to those questions from someone who has actually been on both sides!

Life always changes.Sometimes it changes for the good. Sometimes it changes for the bad. So when things go south for us we have to learn to be okay with our NEW NORMAL. Today we will learn how this plays out in the life of Joseph!

Do you get frustrated when evil people seem to be winning? Are you envious that someone who doesn’t believe in God has more material goods or wealth than you do? Today we are going to see why David says you don’t have to be envious or frustrated with people like that at all!

We all have times when life changes for the worse. Today as we begin talking about Joseph we will learn from him that no matter how bad things get God has not forgotten you. God is intricately involved in your life. Things may not make sense now but God is always up to something!

Abuse. School shootings. Drug dealers. Pimps. What is wrong with people? We don't understand what the problem is and David had that same question but today he will tells what REALLY is wrong with people!

God has a story and we are a part of it! Today we will see how this plays out in the life of Jacob because no matter what Jacob did he could not thwart the purpose of God. God is the greatest chess player of all time!

That person hurt you. They destroyed your reputation. They lied and got you fired. So how should you pray for them because Jesus said to pray for your enemies? But David goes a different direction today and He asks God to fight his enemies for him.To chase them down a slippery path. Make them fall into the pit they made for him. Can we do that?

We know it's time to get right with the Lord when we say "enough is enough." I can't keep doing this. I can't keep living like this. Today Jacob FINALLY gets to this point and we will see by his example what we should do!

Think of all your blessings. Freedom, job, family, children, health, a roof over your head. Those are great things to be thankful for but what about what Jesus did for us? Do we stop long enough during our day to thank Him for what HE did for us? Join us today to see how thankfulness played out in David's life!

Jacob was on his way back home where his faith could flourish but instead he stopped along the way. That was a bad decision for him and his family but I think we have all done that at some point in our life. We stop going to church. Stop reading our Bible. Stop growing in our faith. But then there are the consequences...

If you were looking for a job and had to give someone your resume I would assume it would say all the great qualities about you and why you should be hired for the job. In today’s lesson we are going to see God’s resume which is amazing and we are going to see why He should be hired to take care of us.

God stepped out of heaven to have a wrestling match with Jacob but who was this? A pre incarnate Jesus? What does that mean? And if this was Jesus - is He the One showing up in the Middle East in dreams in a white robe? Is He the One helping people under the rubble of earthquakes and showing up in nations where Bibles are not available? What does the Bible say about this? Join us today for a very important lesson!

Think of a time when you did something you knew was sin. You knew you shouldn’t but you did it anyway. And what was left was guilt and shame. It won’t go away. It’s like a weight. You carry it every day. But the good news is – you don’t have to do that anymore. Join us as we learn this freeing lesson from David

You are jealous. Jealous of the people your spouse works with. Jealous of the people who they see at the gym who have better bodies than you. You never have peace in your life and you are on the verge of destroying your marriage.

Sometimes God has to do something drastic to get our attention. Why? Because he loves us and doesn't want to leave us where we are! Growing up in our faith takes struggle, chiseling and wrestling as we will see with Jacob today!

Life is filled with trials. Some show up like a sudden storm and some stay like a long lasting fire. Today we will learn from David how he dealt with his long drawn out trial that seemed never ending!

Your spouse won’t communicate with you. You never know what they are thinking. They come home from work and give one word answers. There is no depth to your conversations. What can you do?

Sometimes we have to trust God for what seems impossible. The wayward child who feels so far gone you can’t imagine they will ever come back. The sickness that won’t go away and you are pretty sure never will. The marriage that is on the rocks and you have no hope it will ever work. Today we will see Jacob trusting God for something that seems impossible to him: the color of sheep and goats that he will need to build a flock with so he can move back to his homeland!

Do you take credit for the things you have? Are you overconfident in your own abilities? Because if so – this lesson is just for you today! King David teaches us in this Psalm what happens when he does not give God all the credit for the things in his life!

We pray. God is silent. We pray. God does the opposite. What is going on? Does prayer really change things? The answer is YES!!

What is your main purpose in life as a Christian? To be happy? To pray so you can get what you want? Actually no! Our purpose is to point people to God so no matter what we do that HE gets all the glory!

You are married to someone who is not a Christian. You love them – support them – stand behind them. But what do you do when they are making poor choices in life and those poor choices are affecting you and your family? Join us today as Sean McDowell answers this question for us: "How should I respond when my non Christian spouse is making poor choices?"

Jesus changed our life. That is a story worth telling. But why don't we? Fear? We don't know enough? We don't know what to say?  Join us today as we learn a simple way to tell others about what Jesus did for us!

Where do we turn where there is a problem? Where do we turn when the world seems to be heading in the wrong direction? Today David reminds us who he turns to: his Rock. God Himself. He is the ONLY one who is powerful enough to take care of our problems!

What should you do if you feel spiritually lonely being married to a non Christian? Do you feel sad you can’t talk together about the things of God? Do you feel sad that your spouse won’t pray with you when something is wrong? Won't go to church with you? Sean McDowell will help with that as he answers "What should I do if I feel spiritually lonely being married to a non Christian?"

When you become a Christian that is the starting line not the finish line. So what can we do to grow up in our faith because growing up is what should be happening? Today we will talk about some tools that help you do just that!

So often when our life takes a turn for the worse we seek something. Sometimes it's alcohol sometimes it's drugs, maybe it's a relationship you know isn't good for you. Today we're going to see that when David's life takes a downward turn, we're going to see what he seeks and he actually doesn't seek any of those things, he seeks God himself. Join us today as we finish Psalm 27.

What happens if your child comes out as LGBTQ and you are a Christian who takes the Bible serious but your spouse is not a Christian and thinks this lifestyle is fine? What should you do since this is causing a home divided and a whole lot of arguing? Join us as Sean McDowell answers this question for us.

So much weird stuff has been attributed to the Holy Spirit. We hear of people being slain in the spirit. We hear of all these emotional experiences that are supposed to be from the Holy Spirit. But does He REALLY do those things? Maybe not and today I will show you why and what His role really is.

As a Christian – how can we teach our children a biblical worldview when our spouse is not a Christian and has a worldview that contradicts the Bible? One of us is saying “God created” and the other is saying “the Big Bang” created. One is saying marriage is between a man and women – the other is saying it doesn’t matter. What should we do? Today – Sean McDowell will answer that question for us from our Marriage Questions Conference.

Are you exhausted trying to live the Christian life? Are you tired of following rules? Are you trying to stop sinning by "trying harder?" There is actually a better way and that is allowing the Holy Spirit to change your heart! Join us today as we explain how that happens!

If you could ask God for anything – for just ONE thing what would it be? To win the lottery? That your favorite team would win the super bowl? David tells us what his ONE thing is that He asks God for and it’s a reminder of what OUR One thing should be too!

We can't imagine what this will be like! Jesus riding on a white horse coming in judgement but where will all this take place? You may be surprised! What will He do when He gets here? What is the 1000 year millennial reign? What will heaven and eternity look like? Join us for that amazing conclusion of our End Times Timeline Conference!

We would never have a Bible if this event did not happen! Why do we believe the Bible? How do we know it’s true? Because if our faith in Jesus depends on what the Bible says - how can we trust it? The Bible being true actually hinges on this ONE EVENT!

We are all part of something amazing as followers of Jesus and we need to find out what our part is and then get busy! Join us today to as we figure out what that might look like!

We have all been in scary situations in life but as a Christian – why am I still afraid? Why do I lay awake at night wondering what is going to happen?Today will we see that even King David had his moments of fear but as he grew closer to God – he trusted more and feared less. Join us today for this message in Psalm 27

Where will the Anti Christ come from? Will he be a friend of Israel? When will the Mark of the Beast come into play? Join us today for Session 5 of our End Times Timeline Conference where Joel Richardson will unpack what the bible says about the Anti Christ, the Middle East and who the players will be!

Is your faith built on a REAL foundation or a FAKE one? Because to build our faith it has to begin with the right foundation which Jesus will tell us in today’s lesson what that means. But…what He says is a little different than what we are hearing in many churches today. Join us for Lesson 1 in our “The Plan” series.

When something happens in our life that causes us fear we have a choice in how we respond. With fear and anxiety? Or with peace and joy and trust in God? Today we will see how David responded as he said: Whom shall I fear?And the answer was nobody and nothing! Join us today as we begin Psalm 27 and make it through 1 verse!

Does God approve of and honor same sex marriage it like He does marriage between a man and a woman? In the culture we live in we are being told God is fine with it. But is He really? Join us as Sean McDowell answers this question for us today.

What will this 7 year period consist of? The first 3.5 years will be the beginning of birth pains and Joel will explain what to look out for the final 3.5 years will be more like hard labor as we wait for the birth The Return of Jesus. Where is all of this in the Bible? We will show you how what Jesus says about this timeline lines up with what Matthew and Revelation has to say.

Has someone hurt you? Tried to ruin you? What do you do? Try and get back at them? Try to hurt them? If so – that means you only see what is right in front of you. What if you could change that? What if you could start seeing life from a 30,000 ft view where you begin to see those people and situations as something God wants to use in your life to change you and those around you?

If you are a married man and your wife is not very nice = what should you do?What if how she acts is negatively impacting your children and they are picking up bad habits from her? What can you do? Allen Parr will answer that question in this video.To watch Session 2 of our Marriage Questions Conference click here:https://youtu.be/W-bpi0T9RoU

We have been told by many pastors or authors of books like the Left Behind series that we will be raptured out here before the tribulation starts. Many Christians are waiting for this event assuming this is next on the prophetic timeline. But does the Bible REALLY say that? Actually it doesn’t and we will show you verse by verse why!

What do we do when we are praying for something and our non Christian friends know we are praying and yet God says no? Does that hurt God’s reputation? Actually no because in today’s Psalm David makes it clear that when we HOPE in our God we will never be put to shame and neither will He.

Your spouse is a Christian. You go to church together. You are in a small group together. But one day you walk in and you are surprised to see him watching porn. You are so shocked and you don’t know what to do. Allen Parr will answer this question for us in this video.  To watch all of Session 2 of our Marriage Questions Conference click here:https://youtu.be/W-bpi0T9RoU

We hear a lot about the "rapture" but what is it and where do we find it in the Bible? Will this "gathering together" take place before the 7 year period starts? Middle? End? Join us for Session 2 of our End Times Timeline Conference with Joel Richardson.

Jesus is coming back and when He does He will rule on this earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords because as we see in Psalm 25 –the Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. So if that’s true – we might want to take serious what He says!

Studying end times seems scary but since the Bible talks a lot about it then so should we! Join us for Session 1 with Joel Richardson as we begin with "why we should study end times" and "where is this 7 year tribulation period found in the Bible?"

Studying Psalm 23 we have learned that we are led by our Shepherd but David tells us also that we are being followed too! By who? How about "goodness" and "mercy". Today we conclude Psalm 23 as we find out we are led, followed and we will "dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

What if you are married but you find yourself attracted to someone else? Maybe it’s at work or the gym. Maybe it’s someone in your neighborhood or at school. What do you do?

If you think you have dysfunction in your family you may feel a lot better about yourself after today's lesson! We will see how God can use lies, deception and even polygamy to do something amazing like build the nation of Israel!

God prepares a table, anoints us with oil and our cup runs over so what does that mean for us thousands of years later? Knowing this will help us make it through the difficult days!

When two people come together in marriage there are bound to be problems! 2 people coming from 2 different backgrounds with 2 different personalities and now they start living together and because of that there can be a lot of conflict! Today Allen Parr will answer this Marriage question: What is the best way to resolve conflict?

Bad things happen in life - we all know that but what about those times when bad things happen because of something WE did? Today we will see how Jacob handles the changes in his life and these changes happened because he lied and deceived his father and brother and yet...God used all of that to move him where he needed to be! In the process he learned some valuable lessons about God.

The staff. This is a tool a shepherd uses for many reasons. Leading. Guiding. Saving. Protecting. So how does that play out in our lives today? You will be amazed to see what a Shepherds staff means to us!

What happens when your spouse has an affair and you don’t leave your marriage but you stay and work it out? But...what happens if you can’t get over what they did to you? How do you get past that? Today Allen Parr will answer this question for us: How do I get over my spouse’s affair?

Today we will see lies and deception from Jacob and his mother Rebecca and yet God uses this sin to move Jacob where he needs to be. What does that mean? Join us today to find out how GOD ALWAYS WINS!

Psalm 23 says "Your rod and staff they comfort me" but why is a rod comforting? We hear so much about a rod being a form of discipline for children but a rod is actually a way of protecting the sheep! When a sheep sees a Shepherd with a rod - he feels totally comforted!

What do you do if you are married and your spouse wants more sex than you? What if you want more sex than them? What if this is a serious problem in your marriage and you don’t know what to do about it? Join us today as Allen Parr answers this question for us!

What are we so afraid of and how do we know when we aren't as fearful as we used to be? Here's how tests!

We like the green pastures and still waters but what about those times when we have to walk through the shadow of death? If you were a sheep in Israel - those shadows in the mountains were dark and scary but we will learn that what a sheep had to do is what we have to do!

When people get married they usually think their marriage will be perfect because during the engagement, they got along fine! They knew each other so well! But then something happened – they got married and suddenly the person they married doesn’t seem like the same person they were engaged to.So the question they ask is: "what just happened"? Did they marry the wrong person and is there actually a right person?

Today Esau will sell something really important – his birthright - for a bowl of soup. Sounds ridiculous but we actually may do that more than we think! Join us today as we see the consequences of making short term decisions that will negatively affect our long term future.

Sometimes we feel like a "cast" sheep - a sheep that has fallen and can't get up. Maybe it's because of our sin and we can't seem to get restored back to our relationship with God. King David was in that place and the good news is that he prays that God will RESTORE His soul and He does!

A lot of people are married and a lot of people are divorced. The sad truth is that a lot of people who say they are Christians are getting divorces. But why? If God has given us a marriage formula in the Bible, which HE has, then what’s the problem? Shouldn't Christians have a different kind of marriage that should last?

2 boys - Esau and Jacob - completely different. Why? Because God created them different just like He did for all of us! But what does that have to do with being a Christian? Actually it has everything to do with it! Join us today to see what we are supposed to be doing!

Israel is filled with desert and water is hard to find. But...a good Shepherd will always make sure He finds what you need so you can get hydrated! Join us today as we see how Psalm 23:2 works in our life thousands of years later!

What if we could look at aging as the BEST days of our life? We think of getting older as something bad but what if we could reframe our thinking on that? Join us today as we learn how to age well as we see Abraham go off the pages of Genesis.

There aren’t many green pastures in Israel because of the hot desert landscape and yet David says in Psalm 23 that not only is the Lord our Shepherd but “He will make me lie down in green pastures.” What does that mean in our day to day life of stress and anxiety? Join us today to find out!

Sometimes we think God wants us to go one way but when we go that way we realize that's not where He wants us but the good news is that God is in the U-Turn business! Today we will talk about that along with snobbery in the church and Isaac finally gets married!

The Lord is my Shepherd. That is an amazing statement and when we take that to heart it will change how we view life forever! Today we will go over the first verse in Psalm 23!

Abuse in marriage. Separation. Divorce. Christian? Non-Christian?There is so much to this question like "when can the abuser – the one who says he is a believer - be considered an unbeliever?" Mike Winger will try and make some sense of it all for us!

The greatest love story arranged by God! Isaac needs a wife but what is amazing is that he doesn't go looking for one himself! Instead his father Abraham sends his servant to go find one for him! In todays lesson we will learn so much about finding the right person to marry and we will see how Abraham trusted God to find Isaac the perfect wife for him!

Psalm 22 confirms my belief that the Bible is really true. It seals my faith. It takes away any doubt I have that there is a God because this Psalm is written 1000 years before Jesus shows up on this earth and yet it tells us about the future. It tells us about how Jesus will be crucified. Join us today as we work through this amazing prophetic, Messianic Psalm!

Men are to love their wives like Christ loved the church but what does that mean? How does that look in a marriage? Because if we take this verse serious – Jesus gave up His life. He cared more for the church than Himself. Today Mike Winger will help us understand this verse and how it works in our marriages.

If you are alive – you need to know this: God is not done with you yet! He wants to use you to further His Kingdom. He has a plan for your life. But sometimes people give up when a loved one dies. Today we will see how this plays out as Abraham’s wife Sarai dies and we will learn from Abraham that we should never give up because God is not done with us yet!To watch the video on where Sarai is buried click on this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1XUnOYYPxQ

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own lives that we forget about God. We forget He answers prayers. We forget He paves the way – opens and closes doors. We forget we are His children and He wants the best for us. We forget He is our Shepherd and He leads and guides us. We forget to thank Him for all His blessings. Today let’s talk about that as we work through Psalm 21.

You both work. You both bring in paychecks. But you want to keep them separate. Is that ok to do in a marriage?Does the Bible say this is a good thing or a bad thing? Mike Winger answers this question for us.

Why does God give us tests? Today we will see Abraham given the ultimate test as God asks him to lay his precious son on the altar as a sacrifice but why would God do that? Join us today to find out!To watch the video about Abraham's well click on this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVD-EtGtf7c&t=54s

Prayer. Is there a right way to pray? Is there a right way to respond when God says "no"? Would the Unites States look different if we were a country of praying people? Today we will answer these questions as we work through Psalm 20:1-9

We have all done things in our past that we wish we would never have done but in todays lesson I want us to learn valuable lessons from the life of Sarai, Abraham and Hagar and hopefully if you are BITTER about your past that today will move you to being BETTER about your past.

What should you do if your wife doesn’t respect you? What if she embarrasses you in front of others? What if she is always countering everything you say around your friends? Mike Winger will answer this Marriage Question for us.

There is a battle going on within us between what we want, our flesh, and what God wants, our spirit. So often when the flesh wins out - we make decisions based on emotion that has bad consequences. Today we will see how that plays out with Abraham and Sarai.

Should men stay home with the kids while their wives go to work?Should wives support their husbands financially? What if you are the wife and you want you husband to work but he refuses? What should you do? Join us today as Mike Winger answers this question.

We all have difficult days – painful days – confusing days – frustrating days. We have fearful days – anxious days and yet today we will see from King David that the tough days are what actually changed him.The tough days made him pray more. Seek God more. So join us today as we work through Psalm Chapter 17 and learn a valuable lesson about trials.

Marriage is difficult on so many levels but what if you are so miserable you just want out? You are tired of arguing. You want to live in peace again. But you are a Christian so what do you do? How can you enjoy your marriage when you just don’t want to be married anymore?

Do we love the world more than God? Do we linger too long places we shouldn’t be? Do we sit on the fence – never really choosing the ways of God?Today we learn from Lot who did just that and he never really came back from the consequences from looking, lingering and living in a place that God would destroy for it’s wickedness.

We all have times of pain or sorrow in our lives. We all have days of fear or stress or confusion. But when we do – my hope is that we all can respond to our circumstances like David. Because his focus was not on this life only.He didn’t think that what was happening in his life was just random. He knew God was his refuge. He knew God had a plan. Today – let’s learn from David how knowing that can help us through our difficult days.

What do you do when your spouse is a workaholic? They love their job – they live for their job. Nights and weekends are spent on the phone and computer. So what’s left for you and your marriage and the kids? Dr. Sean McDowell answers that question for us.

Angels. They are magnificent creatures but today we see two of them take on human bodies to come to earth to talk with Abraham and Lot and they have one message: Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed. From this section in Genesis we will learn so much about God, love, and how He judges evil.

We live in a world where integrity doesn’t seem to matter much.What used to be sacred and right and moral are not so much that way anymore. We assume the problem is because most people are not Christians but thats not the case. The lack of integrity is infiltrating the church - those who claim to be followers of Jesus. Today let's talk about what that looks like!

What if you and your spouse think differently on disciplining your children? He is too harsh – you are too lenient. Join us today as Dr. Sean McDowell answers that question for us.

Abraham is minding his own business when God Himself shows up with a message! Today we will see what the message was and we will end our lesson asking: "why does God always wait until the last minute"?

Do you believe in God? Because if you don’t God calls you a fool. That doesn’t sound very nice but think this through: a fool is not necessarily stupid he just doesn't recognize the obvious. Today we will talk about the obvious and why it is foolish to NOT believe in God.

What do you do when you marry someone who goes to church but after you get married – they aren’t interested in spiritual things at all? Suddenly they don’t want to go to church. They don’t want to read the Bible or talk about God. What should you do? Join us today as Dr. Sean McDowell answers that question for us.

We see it all around us. People who say they are Christians but then drift away from biblical truth. How is that possible? It's actually easier than we think so we have to be prepared.

We hate waiting rooms. We find them in the Dr. office, the Dentist office, the principals office and sitting and waiting is so frustrating. But God has a waiting room also. Those times we feel like our life is on hold and He feels silent. Join us today to see what we can do about that!

It’s funny how God puts two people together in marriage who are completely opposite. One person likes to go out – the other stay in. One likes to read a book – the other wants to hike a mountain. One likes to wake up early – the other wants to sleep in. Seems cute in the beginning but then it becomes a problem and it feels like you are incompatible. So what do we do? Join us today as Dr. Sean McDowell answers that question for us.

Do you know people who don't believe in God? Are there days when YOU don't think YOU believe in God? Today's lesson will completely change your mind on that when you see 2000 predictions that God made that have 100% come to fruition!

Sometimes it feels like as Christians – there are less and less of us. Less people standing up for their faith in Jesus. Less people standing up for the truth of the Bible. Less people who are truly devoted followers of Jesus. And sometimes we look around and wonder – where is everyone?

As a Christian we are supposed to read the Bible.The Bible is God’s very words to us so we know how the world began – why it’s such a mess and how it will end.The Bible tells us what God is like and how we can know Him. But are Catholics taught to read the Bible for themselves? And if they aren’t – why not?Join us today for that answer.

As Christians what can we do? The culture is against us. Politicians are against us. The media is against us. It seems like everyone is against us as followers of Jesus but what CAN we do?

Sex is an important part of marriage but what if it doesn’t meet your expectations? What if sex in your marriage isn’t fulfilling? What should you do? Join us today as Dr. Sean McDowell answers that question for us.

What do we do if we don't want to be married anymore? How do we fight fair? What happens if we don't like sex with our spouse? What if we are always annoyed. Join us as Allen Parr answers these and more marriage questions.

Why do bad people seem to be winning in life? Where is God? Why isn't He doing anything about this? Today the Psalmist has the same question for God. "Where are You?" You may be surprised at the answer!

According to the Catholic church there are certain things you are required to do for salvation. These are called Sacraments and they are very progressive beginning with baptism as an infant and ending with a Priest giving you your last rights with 5 others in between. But what is shocking that we will learn today is how unbiblical most of these are. Join us today as we work through what the sacraments are and why as a Christian we have serious problems with this.
