Ephesians is a letter about the hope we have in the reality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and also about what that means for our lives. Paul describes what is simply true about believers in Christ and then fleshes out what it looks like for them to live in light of these truths.
Who is Jesus and how have you thought about him?

The Gospel of John has some unique and remarkable characteristics. We hope that you enjoy reading this gospel and that it opens new vantage points into who Jesus us and what he has done for us. Our prayer is that you encounter God in a new way as you read and gather for discussion.
The Book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible that specifically promises a blessing to those who read, hear, and heed its prophetic words.

But even more importantly, you’ll see in this last book of the Bible, the culmination and fulfillment of all God’s promises and prophecies from Genesis to Revelation. It is a revealing of Jesus Christ as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Because of the finished work of Jesus, we have been provided with everything we need to live lives of peace, free from anxiety and fear—even in the midst of an insecure and turbulent world. These provisions are found in the Scriptures. In this course we will locate, identify and examine these provisions. Only then will we be able to appropriate them by faith. This course offers a biblical view of faith, what it is, where it comes from, and how to strengthen it.
In the Scriptures, God set aside fixed times or appointments for his people, the Israelites, to come together and feast, celebrate and be with him in a special sense. When you take the time to study these feasts in detail, you see astounding things unfold before your very eyes. All have extraordinary prophetic significance. This is exciting news for us indeed, because through them we can see God’s plan for the future.
