Biblical Characters
Cost of Following Christ
Christ encountered three major pitstops in route to fulfilling His purpose:
1. The Jordan River - Dying to self
2. The Wilderness - Satan tempting Him
3. Nazareth - People who should have supported Him rejected Him
Learn how He overcame these pitstops and how you can overcome them as well.
Daniel - A life of Conviction & Reward
When you decide to take a stance people will hunt you and stalk you to try to get you to compromise! But in this exciting teaching you will learn how to succeed in the world system without compromise. Having scripturally based convictions will position you in a way that you will get promotions even in hostile environments. They will insulate you from the corruptive influences of the world and give you a spirit of excellence. Establishing “non-negotiables” will help you learn the power of a consistent walk with God. God rewards people who live lives of conviction…lets start living it today!
How To Become A Star: A Study of Esther
In this teaching you will learn the essence and the qualities of Esther that made her a star. She was a woman who recognized when she was having a defining moment, who understood the power of favor and respect, and the importance of having a teachable spirit. Like Esther, we must understand how God uses obscurity 101 to prepare us for our defining moment and how this will make us a candidate for His best! Self control, correct timing, and specificity are crucial when the stakes are high in your life. We cannot allow one negative emotion to go unchecked because you can forfeit all that God has for you. You will learn the importance of preparations and how to leave your comfort zone. One of the keys that made Esther a star was her ability to know who God was using to speak to her. With this teaching you too will have the tools to start living your life as a star!
How to Finish Strong
In this teaching we examine the life of Paul and what he wrote in his last epistle. In 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith.” Like Paul we want to run a good race, and live a full life conscious of our goals and values, ever mindful that we will be remembered by the decisions we make today! The majority of the people in the bible got off to a strong start but finished weak. Some of our favorite bible characters, such as David, Judas, Gideon, and Moses, lost focus in the middle of their journeys and suffered greatly in the end. If we want our lives to end in a powerful way we must remain strong throughout our journey, we must be faithful and persevere like Nehemiah and finish our "wall", or we must be wise like Solomon and finish building our "temple" according to the plan that God gave us. If we're obedient to the heavenly vision when all is said and done we will be able to say "it is finished", just as Jesus proclaimed from the cross. What we do today, how we spend our time, who we associate with and what we eat--all of these things have an impact on our tomorrows. The teaching "How to Finish Strong" will show you how to finish your race with victory by living a life that legacies are made of.
Joseph: The Over-comer
Are there areas or people in your life that are trying to overcome the dream that God has placed inside you? Joseph learned to overcome the warfare that his dream attracted and to pour all of his energy into the present. Like Joseph, we can be moving progressively closer to our ultimate destiny even though our circumstances are deteriorating. His life is an example of how God places needs in a sinner's heart that only a saint can fulfill. By showing grace, we must learn not to retaliate against those who hurt us or attack our dream. Joseph knew this and as a result God gave him immeasurable favor and promoted him. Ultimately, Joseph was an over-comer because he refused to give anyone so much power that they could steal what God was trying to do in his life.
Lessons From A King: The Life of Solomon
Solomon was a great man of God whose life teaches us that you can get exactly what you want from life, but apart from God, you will not be fulfilled. He looked to pleasure, wisdom, and work to find purpose but in the end was left empty. Why? Because he failed to realize that all the wisdom in the world cannot be confused with an intimate relationship with God. This teaching will help you seek after God first and find fulfillment in letting Him add things to you rather than your own efforts...
Lessons from The Well
We all have yearnings, desires and things in our life that we are thirsty for—it’s just part of our humanity. The key question we must ask ourselves is how do we quench that thirst? It’s critical that we learn to fill our deep inner yearnings with the things of God. If we attempt to satisfy our thirst with man made remedies or solutions, we’re setting ourselves up for footholds that can turn into strongholds. In this teaching, we study the life of the woman that Jesus met at the well in John 4. This woman struggled with a deep thirst and went from one man to the next looking for fulfillment, only to discover that her needs could only be satisfied by developing a relationship with Jesus Christ. This teaching is a must for anyone who has wrestled with unmet yearnings, long seasons of frustration or history repeating itself.
Looks Aren't Everything
Have you ever wrestled with envy or jealousy? Do you look at the success of your friends, family, or colleagues and feel disdain because of your own failures? Are you in a season where comparing yourself to others is causing you to feel badly about yourself? Jealousy is the desire to keep what's rightfully yours. Envy is when you want what belongs to someone else. Saul, whose name means "the people's choice', was a King who stood head and shoulders above everyone else. However, it was his envy of David, a shepherd boy that eventually drove Saul to his death. Saul's internal dissatisfaction made him react externally, which resulted in irrational and dangerous behavior. In this teaching, using Saul as an example we learn: the difference between jealousy and envy, the dangers of comparison, the insecurities that lead to foolish behavior, how to help others who struggle with jealousy and envy, and the principle that we can't make the best use of our strengths if we fail to deal with our weaknesses. Without this teaching you cannot live successfully as a Christian!
Nehemiah
We all have areas in our lives that have broken down and we need to repair in order to become leaders. This teaching series will give you the tools to rebuild the broken areas of your life. A dynamic spiritual life is a building block to leadership. Learn how to: transition from your comfort zone to your assignment, to overcome unwanted criticism, to balance between prayer and planning, to draw resources from the unsaved world, to convert your passion into your assignment, and to mobilize troops! Nehemiah teaches us that if you are going to pray to God about a problem then you have to be willing to be part of the answer!!!
Portrait of a Spiritual Diva
This powerful class examines the life of Abigail, and how it teaches us to deal with difficult people.
Rebounding From Rebellion (The Life of Jonah)
Each of us has an area in life where we need to rebound from rebellion. It is an area of disobedience that has not been fully submitted to the Lord. The Bible calls these areas presumptuous and cherished sins that are difficult to let go of. Jonah was a man who ran 2500 miles in the opposite direction that God wanted him to go. He refused to submit to God and it cost him time, energy, money and reputation. Jonah had to learn the hard way that change should come by revelation not desperation. Have you been hoping that God will give you an obedience pass in your sexual integrity, finances, relationships, emotions and purpose? If the answer is yes, then you must realize that disobedience to God’s initial instruction in your life will not make Him change His mind. Like the prodigal son, God is ready to forgive and restore you back into His will. You can rebound from the most grievous rebellions, but you must first learn how. This teaching will help you step out of the consequences of rebellion and into the blessings of obedience today!
Secrets of an Unforgettable Woman - Ruth
Are you living with a victimized mentality? Do you look around and wonder why it seems like everyone else is living their dream? This teaching will reveal Ruth’s secret that will give you insight on how not to victimize your future. Instead, learn how to pour all of your energies into the present to prepare yourself for the mate God has for you.
The Life of David - The "Me" I Haven't Let You See
When God searched for a king to rule Israel, He chose David. He made His selection not based on David's outward appearance or tremendous talent, but on his passion to please Him. And though David's life was scarred by destructive lust, family chaos, and personal tragedy, in the end his struggles made him more dependent on God and grateful for His mercy. Come meet the man whose psalms have often become your prayers. Follow his fervent pursuit of God as a shepherd boy, warrior, and king. And learn about the grace that can transform every sinner into a person after God's own heart.
