What Is Your Picture of a Dream? What comes to mind when you think of the word "dream"? A romantic relationship with your knight in shining armor? A daydream that takes your mind off your situation or a bad dream, causing worry and fear? A false hope or pie-in-the-sky, wild idea with no basis in reality? I believe having a dream, especially embracing God's dream for our lives, is necessary for maintaining thriving spiritual health. You may not have what you would consider big dreams, and that's just fine. Whether your dreams are big or small, they matter equally to God. One thing I want you to consider is that if God is a big God, who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond what we can ever ask or imagine, why not dream big? (Ephesians 3:20). I'm just sayin', if God is the creator of the entire universe, owns everything, and is in complete and sovereign control, why not dream like it? Then let's do what we can do and God will do what we can't. Here are some of the topics covered: • Living on purpose with passon • Living graciously and honorably • Dreaming despite a broken heart • Daring to use your talents wisely • Daring to be a single mother who loves and relies on God • Daring to rise to the occasion • Using your gifts to serve the church • Daring to remember the poor • Daring to be devoted to one another • Following the greatest dreamer-Jesus ...and much more

A Biblical Guide to Managing Your Anger the Way God Intended! You don't have to go very far in the Bible to address the topic of man's anger. It has been an issue ever since God created man. In fact, God only had to create four people in order to see anger surface as an everyday issue in their lives as shown with Cain and Abel. God designed you to have the capacity to experience anger to bring about change. How you handle your anger determines whether there is change or more damage. If your only examples of angry people have left you hurt, bitter, or even angry yourself, then you can learn how Godly men managed their anger such as Moses, David, Jeremiah and Nehemiah. God's anger is different from man's anger and comes from an intense love for you. You've never experienced that kind of love from any human being. You've never been pursued so relentlessly and with such passion. When we continually ignore that pursuit, and stubbornly refuse to have or even want that closeness or intimacy, God's anger will eventually be aroused. This anger is not as from a jilted lover; it is not from impatience, frustration or irritation at your lack of response, but rather from a holy and just God with a plan to fulfill your dreams and protect you from the devastating consequences of sin. God's anger is necessary to accomplish all of this for you, so that all his dreams for you can come true. That's why his anger is not like ours.

Science & Faith (Enemies or Allies?)

Mysterious. Confusing. Intriguing. Symbolic. Deep. Difficult. Literal. Futuristic. All these words and many others have been used to describe the final book of the Bible, the book of Revelation. Misunderstood. Misinterpreted. Misapplied. These words speak of the "missed" message of Revelation in light of today's prevailing humanism, hedonism and hypocrisy. Inspiring. Crucial. Radical. Victorious. Compelling. Challenging. Thrilling. Strengthening. These are a few of the right words concerning this awesome book. They describe God's intent for our hearts to be lifted and for our souls to be revived after spending time with the apostle John on the island of Patmos. In Revelation Revealed, Gordon Ferguson unlocks and unleashes God's powerful and timeless message contained in Revelation, a message that will revolutionize each individual life! Gordon presents a chapter-by-chapter analysis of Revelation. He explains the symbols, reveals the overarching themes and shows how the early Christians understood it. Most important, he relates how Christians should respond to Revelation today. There is so much misinterpretation of Revelation that Gordon covers these topics in the Appendix. Appendix 1: The Premillennial Doctrine Appendix 2: Matthew 24-End of the World or End of an Age? Appendix 3: Thy Kingdom Come (But when did it come?)

Revelation Revealed (The Keys to Unlocking the Mysteries of Revelation)

In this book, I take everything that I have learned from my fifty-five plus years of life and forty-plus years of person Bible study, biblical training, and discipleship and apply these lessons to writing a practical, meaningful, spiritual mosaic of the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus the Messiah. The result is a study of the life of Jesus that is quite a bit more spiritual than it would have been if I had written it just five years earlier. Approach• In this study of the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus the Messiah, I use a three-pronged approach to the Gospels.• First, I read and compare the four Gospels side by side, building a harmony of the life and teachings of Jesus the Messiah.• Second, as I read, I notice who Jesus says he is and how the gospel writers portray him. The outcome of this type of reading is to see Jesus as the King/Christ/Messiah of Israel.• Third, as I read, I place special emphasis on a spiritual reading of the text versus an informational reading.• The ultimate goal is to learn to walk as Jesus did.

The problem of pain and human suffering is the most significant obstacle for most non-believers. Even sincere Christians often find this question to be very troubling despite their willingness to put their faith in God. Pain and suffering is an apologetic problem, but it is also a human problem. This video presentation is an attempt to deal with both issues. Here are some of the topics that Douglas addresses in these three sessions: • Physical and emotional pain • Is God just? • Is God responsible for everything that comes our way? • How much misery is caused by humanistic and deadly philosophy? • Understanding the classic objections to the problem of human suffering • Did God create evil? • Why is the world a dangerous place? • Free will and human suffering • How suffering refines character • God brings good out of evil • Human relationships produce pain, but also produce joy and satisfaction • Christians must tell the whole truth about the nature of God • Why does God allow us to suffer? • One third of the Psalms reveal a deep resentment towards God • God is not nice! • God does not explain or justify the suffering in our world and lives • The primary theme or sub-theme of ten books of the Bible is suffering • Don't miss the opportunity to talk about death, pain, sickness, divorce, loss, betrayal or any tragedy • Practical steps to relieve suffering in our communities and the world Three sessions: 50 minutes each for 2 hours and forty minutes of video teaching.
