As our world is in a state of panic over the devastating virus COVID-19, this lesson addresses how to handle anxiety and the tools that God has given us to battle it. Scripture: Philippians 4:1-7
This lesson discusses the crippling effects of guilt in a Christian's life and how we can Scripturally deal with this issue. Scripture: Genesis 42:1-22
In this lesson, we discuss the presence of stress in life. We try to distinguish the difference between stress and pressure and explain the causes of stress. Scripture: Mark 14:32-42
This is the second lesson taught on the subject of depression. The last one covered the complexity of depression and this week discusses the cure for depression. Scripture: 1 Kings 19
This week, we explore the complexity of depression and discuss how the Word of God is the only resource that addresses every aspect of this difficult emotion. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-14
This week begins a series that takes an in-depth look at dealing with the hard times of life and the various emotions that we feel during those times. Lesson 1 addresses the question, "Why did God design us as emotional beings?". Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3
As the disciples stand before the Sanhedrin Council, a strange advocate comes to their defense. We take a look at his status, his reasoning, and ultimately how the church continues to thrive regardless of the persecution that they are facing. Scripture: Acts 5:29-42
*Three previous weeks are missing due to technical difficulties with the recording equipment. This week we study how the early church leaders continued to preach the gospel in the face of an intense threat from the religious leaders. They are imprisoned and yet they are delivered by God's Angel.
This lesson is taken from Acts 3:1-19. We look at the encounter between the disciples and the lame man at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. Peter is given another chance to preach the Truth about Jesus. This event serves as a turning point in the relations between the early church and the religious leaders.
This week we study the sermon that Peter delivered on the day of Pentecost under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, he establishes the precedent for preaching in the church moving forward.
Few days in church history are more important than this one as the Holy Spirit filled the church with power to accomplish the commission of the Lord. We study the origin of Pentecost and the unique details of the Holy Spirit's arrival.
Taken from Acts 1:1-14, this lesson takes a look at the period of time shortly after the resurrection of Christ when the Lord spends 40 days with His disciples. What did the Lord convey to them during this period of time that He could not have during His 3+ year ministry? Did He give them a specific strategy to carry out His mission for them? Is there anything that we can learn from the advice that He gives them that is applicable to carrying out our mission today?
This is week 1 of the series, "Upside Down". The intent of this series is to take a look at the events from the time of Christ's ascension all the way to the statement that is made in Acts 17:6 where it is said that these people, "have turned the world upside down". How did these few disciples of Christ have such a profound impact on their world?
This is the final lesson of a series entitled "Contemporary Theology" which attempts to apply Biblical principles to current conversations. It takes a look at Socialism as a political theory and the Bible's stance on its philosophies.
