The Bible describes a 7-year period known as the “Tribulation Period.” During these seven years, a man known as the Antichrist will rise to power. Initially, he will seem to be a charismatic peacemaker, but in the end he will become the greatest tyrant the world has ever known. Join us as we ask and answer: “What is the Tribulation Period?"

Do you believe we are living in the “Last Days”? Scripture teaches that we are! But what will happen in those last days? Join us as we see “The Signs of the Last Days.” You might be surprised by what you learn!

False teachers are notorious for being self-centered and focused on making money. That was true in Jesus’ day, as the Pharisees were known to “devour widows’ houses.” Who are the false teachers of today? Join us as we study: “True vs. False Religion."

The greatest question any human will ever answer is: “What will you do with Jesus?” Jesus was clear when He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through me.” Now, either Jesus was telling the truth, or He was lying. Join us as we see how Jesus trapped the Pharisees when He claimed to be the Son of God and Lord of all. We’ll understand why Jesus must b...

Jesus was asked: “What is the greatest commandment?” Jesus answered: “To love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” But what does that mean, and how does it look in everyday life? Join us as we seek to live by “The Greatest Commandment.” You will be challenged in ways you haven’t before.

There is an epidemic in our nation. Do you know what it is? “Biblical Ignorance.” Among the populace of America, there are fewer and fewer people who are even aware of the Biblical accounts of Noah and the Flood, David and Goliath, and Jesus’ death and resurrection. What’s even worse is that this Biblical ignorance is permeating our churches. Join us as we see “The Great Danger of Biblical Ignoran...

Jesus had to deal with some of the most egotistical, arrogant people of society…the religious elites of His day. Join us as we see “How Jesus Talked to Religious Hypocrites” as He put them in their place when it comes to paying taxes and dealing with the government. There are major lessons for us to learn in our day based on this passage. You don’t want to miss this one!

Any builder knows the foundation of a home or building must be built square for it to be sturdy and reliably hold up the building. When building that foundation, a corner is chosen, and everything is measured from that corner. That corner is the “cornerstone.” Join us as we see why and how Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of all life. We’ll also see whether we are building our lives on His foundati...

Who has the authority in your life? Who calls the shots? You might respond, “I do.” Well, that’s dangerous if you’re a follower of Christ. Join us as we see the enemies of Christ, the Pharisees, as they question Jesus’ authority. We’ll grow to understand why complete surrender to Christ’s authority is the essence of living an abundant life. You’ll be encouraged!

Have you been overwhelmed lately? Between Jesus’ triumphal entry on Sunday, His ferocity in the Temple on Monday, and the widely known, murderous intentions of the religious leaders, I think it’s safe to say that the twelve were a bit on edge! When Jesus cursed the fruitless fig tree, and it withered completely, the disciples were astounded once again. “What?! Look! How?!” Jesus answered them, “Ha...

Jesus is shown all throughout the gospels as having compassion on the lost and on the crowds. One of the few exceptions was when He reclaimed His temple from those who had misused and misrepresented the name of “God’s people” for too long.

How much faith do you have? The nation of Israel rejected Jesus, showing their lack of faith. As a picture of that rejection, Jesus cursed a fig tree because it had no fruit. Join us as we see “The Lesson of the Fig Tree” and the fact that the Christian life is about bearing fruit in keeping with repentance.

When Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, it was described as the “Triumphal Entry.” The people were looking for a King to overthrow Rome and set up His kingdom. They praised Jesus, shouting: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” But everything changed in a matter of days. That praise of Jesus was “false praise.” Why did it happen? How did it happen? Join us, and we’ll find ou...

When was the last time the power went out at night in your home and you had to grope around looking for a flashlight to turn on some light so you could see? That’s a disconcerting feeling. For a man named Bartimaeus, this was his life. Yet, Jesus had mercy on him and gave him back his sight. But Jesus also gave him more than his sight. He gave him salvation. Join us as we see “The Mercy of Jesus.”...

We live in a day and age where everyone wants to be seen. Some call it the “Age of the Selfie.” However, the kingdom of Jesus is an upside-down kingdom where being great is defined as something the world hates: humility. Join us as we see “Greatness Defined” by our Lord Jesus. It’s not what you think!

The trials and temptations of life give us the opportunity to grow our faith in God by running to Him. In these situations, if we are not grounded in our faith, we can become fearful and run from our Creator. Join us as we explore practical ways to overcome fear while we follow the path God has set for us.

“The Problem with Stuff” is that we often don’t possess it—it possesses us! Even the blessings God gives us can become a hindrance to obeying Him if we’re not careful. Join us as we discuss this problem and learn how to overcome it.

A baby, an infant, a toddler, and even a young child are helpless in many ways. As their parent, there is a dependency, a trust, a faith that they place in us to protect them and give them what they need. Jesus uses this example to show us how we must come to him for our greatest need. Join us as we learn the steps to "Come As a Child" to Jesus and be part of his kingdom.

There is so much confusion in our culture today about what marriage is and what are the biblical conditions for divorce. Join us as we seek to gain a “Biblical Understanding of Marriage and Divorce.” We’ll erase the confusion that has been created in many minds by seeing what Jesus said about marriage and divorce.

Let’s say you've been diagnosed with cancer and the surgeon says, "I can get all of it or leave some of it." What would you prefer the surgeon to do? Obviously the answer is: GET IT ALL. The same is true of sin. We should want the Holy Spirit to cleanse us from all sin, just like a surgeon removing all of the cancer. However, for many Christians, they’ve become comfortable with it. Join us Sunday...

Who are the people in your life whom you would consider “great”. Most likely, it would be people who have invested in your life, sacrificed for you, and loved you in times of difficulty. Unfortunately, for the Apostles of Jesus, they had this understanding totally backward about “Who is the Greatest.” Join us as Jesus sets the record straight on what greatness really is!

Facing something that looks impossible? Do you feel like there’s a situation in your life that can't be fixed or is unattainable? Jesus specializes in what looks to be impossible. Join us as we see: “All Things Are Possible,” and you’ll be encouraged in your life, and you’ll see that there is hope, and it’s found in Jesus!

Have you ever seen something so magnificent and profound that you were left speechless? That was Peter, James, and John on the Mount of Transfiguration when they saw Jesus wrapped in glory. That event changed their lives forever, and it would carry them through many difficult days ahead. Join us as we see: “The Glory of Jesus.” You will be amazed! Don’t miss it!

Do you know what an “oxymoron” is? It’s when you say something that’s contradictory. Like, “Momma, this apple pie is ‘awful good.’” Now, here in the south, we know that you mean that your mom’s pie is excellent! Yet, the term “awful good” is an oxymoron. Jesus often spoke in this way. He said that if you wanted to have life, you had to be willing to lose your life. Join us as we see what He meant...

The Apostle Peter had a personality that was bold and courageous, and also temperamental and hasty. Perhaps no truer example of that can be found than in Mark’s Gospel. Peter goes from proclaiming Jesus as the Christ, the Anointed Son of God, to being told by Jesus, “Get behind me, Satan.” What happened? How could this be?
