Covenant Law
May 16, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoGod’s law was an integral part of the covenant. Yet, it was a true covenant of grace. Grace, however, never nullifies the need for law. On the contrary, law is a means by which grace is manifested and expressed in the life of those who receive grace.
Covenant at Sinai
May 09, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoWhatever God asks us to do, our relationship with Him must be founded upon faith. Faith provides the basis upon which works follow.

Covenant Primer
April 04, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoThis week is a quick summary of the whole quarter, as we take one day each to look at the early covenants, the ones that were all, in their own way, present-truth manifestations of the true covenant, the one ratified at Calvary by the blood of Jesus, the one that we, as Christians, enter into with our Lord.
What Happened?
March 28, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoThe biblical account of the Creation of humanity is one filled with hope, happiness, and perfection. Each day of Creation ended with the divine pronouncement that it was “good.” Certainly that didn’t include typhoons, earthquakes, famine, and diseases. What happened?
Rebirth of Planet Earth
March 21, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoWhy is the promise of eternal life in a new heaven and a new earth so basic to our Christian belief? What good would our faith be without that promise?
Desire of Nations

Waging Love
March 07, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoWhat will better attract people to the truth as it is in Jesus: strict adherence to dietary laws or a willingness to help the hungry? Strict rest on the Sabbath or a willingness to spend your own time and energy helping those who are in need?
Doing the Unthinkable
February 28, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoThe weight, the guilt, the punishment for the sins of the whole world—every sin, by every sinner—fell upon Christ at the Cross, at once, as the only means to save us! What does it tell us about God’s love that He would do this for us, even at such a great cost?
To Serve and to Save
February 21, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoDeliverance requires a Deliverer. God’s servant nation would be delivered by two deliverers: Cyrus, who would set the captives free from Babylonian exile, and an unnamed Servant, whose identity as the Messiah is progressively revealed. This Servant would restore justice and bring the community of survivors back to God.
“Comfort My People”
February 14, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoWhat do Bible promises about the end of suffering mean to you now, amid your present suffering? What good would our faith be without those promises? Why, then, is it so important to cling to them, no matter what?
Defeat of the Assyrians
February 07, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoIn response to the cry of a faithful king, God saved His people and showed who He is: the omnipotent King of Israel who controls the destiny of earth;
Playing God

Crisis of Leadership
January 03, 2021 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoNot only does God’s sanctuary throb with awesome power; it’s a place where weak and faulty people such as we can find refuge. We can be reassured by knowing that God is working to rescue us through Christ, our High Priest.
Crisis of Identity
December 27, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoGod does not cut off anyone who responds to Him. He appeals as long as there is hope for a response. He does not immediately take No for an answer, because He knows we are ignorant and deceived by sin.
Heaven, Education and Eternal Learning
December 20, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoWe are promised that we will be given an understanding of things that, for now, remain hidden to us. What a wonderful hope, too, that once we do see and understand things that now seem so difficult, we will have nothing but praise for God!

The Church and Education
November 22, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoIf the church is to be a place of education, it must provide the space for genuine dialogue to occur. Just as we were repeatedly told as students in school, “There is no dumb question,” we must provide within the church a safe environment for each person to grow in grace and in understanding of God and His plan for their lives.
Education and Redemption
November 15, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoLearning to know God is our foremost response to His grace. We cannot earn such grace, but we can learn it, and what is Christian education if not, at its core, education teaching us about this grace?
Worship in Education
November 08, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoWorship, proper worship, is so important that, in fact, it becomes central to the issues in the last days, before the second coming of Christ. Thus, Christian education needs to include the whole question of worship: what is it, how do we do it, why is it important, and whom do we worship?

November 01, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoTrue Christian education must be about pointing us to the only solution for our rather dismal state. This week we’ll look at our only solution, our Master Teacher.

October 18, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoAs human beings, we never look at the world from a neutral position. We see it, always and only, through filters that impact how we interpret and understand the world around us. That filter is called a worldview, and it’s so crucial that we teach our young people, and even older church members, the biblical worldview.
The Law as Teacher
October 11, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoThis week we will study the role of God’s law in the whole question of Christian education. As part of Christian education we need to keep God’s law as a central component of what it means to live by faith and trusting in God’s grace.

September 27, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoTrue education will lead to true knowledge, the knowledge of Christ, and thus not only will we become more like Him, we may stand also to share our knowledge of Him with others.
A Step in Faith
September 20, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoHeaven will be worth any sacrifice we make on earth. There will be sacrifices along the way, but the joys of service will outweigh them today, and the eternal joy of living with Christ throughout all eternity will make any sacrifice we make here seem insignificant.
A Message Worth Sharing
September 13, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoIn this week’s lesson, we will study Revelation’s relevance for a 21st century contemporary society. Together we will discover anew Jesus’ appeal to His last day church to share this end-time message.
Sharing the Story of Jesus
September 06, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB VideoIf our witness about Jesus comes from a heart that has been transformed by His grace, charmed by His love, and amazed at His truth, others will be impressed with how the truth we believe has impacted our lives. Truth presented in the context of a changed life makes all the difference.
An Exciting Way to Get Involved
August 30, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB Video"Small group ministry is ordained by God to enable each church member to grow spiritually, experience warm fellowship, and utilize their God-given gifts in service."
Developing a Winning Attitude
August 23, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB Video"Our attitudes often determine our ability to influence others. A harsh, critical, and unfriendly attitude is going to drive people away from you, and even if you are able to witness, your words, no matter how truthful, are much less likely to be received. In contrast, a positive attitude and a belief in others draws them to us. It creates a bond of friendship."

Spirit-Empowered Witnessing
July 26, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB Video'As we witness for Jesus, it is crucial to remember that we are cooperating with the Holy Spirit. He is there before us, preparing hearts to receive the message of the gospel.'
Prayer Power: Interceding for Others
July 19, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB Video'When we pray for others, we become a channel of God’s blessing to them. He pours out the river of the water of life from heaven’s throne through us to them. Satan’s whole host trembles at the sound of earnest intercession.'
Seeing People Through Jesus’ Eyes

Living by the Word of God
June 21, 2020 00:00 - 6.84 KB Video'The best method of studying the Bible is of no use if we are not determined to live by what we learn from Scripture.
