Three Informative Teaching Topics

Panoramic View of the Bible

In a one-hour workshop, you can learn the story that weaves together the contents of the Bible, discover its plot, and follow the history of God's people from Abraham to David to Jesus to Paul. Or, spread the story out in three sessions of 45 to 60 minutes each.

Overview of the Old Testament
Overview of the Inter-Biblical Period
        (the time between the Testaments)
Overview of the New Testament

With either the one-hour or the three-hour overview, your Bible will become easier to read and to understand. God's Word will also become a much richer book when you grasp the story that holds the contents together.

Reaching Heaven: How to Pray like Jesus

In one session, gain an overview of Jesus' prayer life that will show you how your prayers can reach heaven. God will respond, reveal himself, empower you and affirm you. Or, in multiple sessions, focus on the cornerstones of Jesus' prayer life and learn how you can make them the cornerstones of your prayer life.

Jesus repeatedly withdrew for prayer. Time alone with the Father was very important to Him.

He laced His living with thanksgiving. In good times, bad times and challenging times, Jesus had a heart of gratitude.

He was honest with God. In His struggle with God's will, He felt no need for cover-up. He expressed what He felt.

He interceded for others. At the times of greatest pressure in His life, He still thought of others and prayed for them.
