The World of the End
In this study bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That’s because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse—a significant sermon that scholars have called “the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible.”

Marriage Ministry: What Did You Expect?
Somehow, someway, every marriage becomes a struggle. Everyone’s marriage morphs into something they didn’t intend it to be. At some point you need something sturdier than romance. You need something deeper than shared interests and mutual attraction. You need changed expectations, you need radical commitments, and, most importantly, you need grace.

Women’s Ministry: Chasing Vines
God delights in watching things grow, and the vineyard holds the secret to how we can have a more abundant and meaningful life.

Next Steps: The Journey
Life is like a journey. Where are you in your journey? If you’re exploring faith or new to Christianity and the Bible, this class is designed for you. The Bible takes us on an epic journey from our brokenness and death to restoration and life. It describes the story of a king of an amazing Kingdom, who gives his life to save ours. The Journey: the story of the Bible from Creation to New Creation is an overview of the whole Bible brought to you by Video Bible Talks. Over six episodes we’ll see how the story of the Bible can be our story; how its journey can be our journey.
