For parents there exists a question that is always hovering in the background. Are we doing it right? Then just when we feel like we may be doing it right in one season, the season changes. They outgrow their shoes and their beds and we wonder at times if maybe they're outgrowing us. Eventually hormones flip the script. The question that hovered in the background for the first eleven or twelve years is suddenly front and center. We no longer have the luxury of wondering if we're doing it right. There are daily reminders that more than likely we're not. Eventually our kids assure us we're doing it wrong because their best friend's parents are doing it right. And, of course, their best friends are assuring their parents they're doing it wrong as well.

So, are you doing it right?

It's a terrifying question. It's terrifying because while we all come equipped with a rearview mirror, we don't have a reverse. We can look back and see what we should have done differently, but we can't back up and do it differently. Our mistakes are a permanent part of our parenting stories. Worse, our mistakes are a permanent part of our children's childhoods!

In this six-session video study, Andy and Sandra Stanley will actually suggest an it&... the it they're convinced makes all the difference. Because if you don't hit pause long enough to consider the direction in which you are parenting, you may wake up one day to the realization that you parented in the wrong direction. By wrong I mean, you parented in a direction you would not have chosen to parent had you stopped long enough to choose. The direction we choose, consciously or unconsciously, will in some way determine our children's destinations-emotionally, relationally, spiritually, as well as academically and professionally. You owe it to them to choose it ahead of time.

Parenting is complicated. You want to get it right. To do what you have to do to determine your it. And that's what this video study is about.

Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that marriage does not mean 'til death do us part, but merely for as long as my needs are being met; and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution.

According to the Bible, all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is all about. In this six-session video-based Bible study ( guide sold separately), Timothy Keller, along with Kathy, his wife of forty years, draws a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture that neither idealizes nor rejects the institution but points us back to the relationship between God and man. The result is a vision for marriage that is refreshingly frank and unsentimental, yet hopeful and beautiful.

This study is for anyone from singles to couples considering marriage to those who have been married recently or for a long time.

Sessions include:

1.      Service: Marriage Isn't about You

2.      Covenant: Created to Make Promises

3.      Roles: Loving through Mutual Submission

4.      Singleness: Strengthening the Spiritual Family

5.      Sex: The Act of Covenant Renewal

6.      Hope: Seeing the Great Horizon

There are 7 core shadows over the hearts of modern men.

We can push back the darkness. We can get in front of the light.

And that's what this masterclass hopes to do. Systematically dismantle the 7 core lies a man faces, while giving strategy and encouragement. Do battle and find power and purpose in your life in this very moment.

The renowned pastor and author A.W. Tozer once said, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing to us ... the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his heart conceives God to be like." Our image of God shapes everything about us. It informs everything about who we are and who we are becoming.

In Seeing God as a Perfect Father, bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio challenges each of us to consider our perceptions and thoughts about God. When we think about him, do we imagine a ruler who demands absolute loyalty from us? Or a coach who expects us to perform up to his high expectations? Or even a virtual assistant who is always there to help us when every other option is exhausted?

Louie invites us to consider God in a different way: as a perfect Father who wants us to live under the waterfall of his blessing. He points us to a God who is not absent or ambivalent, but available and affectionate, ready to shower us with his approval and love. He challenges us to consider:

• How the way that we are seeing God is influencing what we feel about his character

• How our perceptions of God's perfection is creating misperceptions of his care for us

• How our relationship with our earthly father is creating distance in our relationship with him

• How our lives would be different if we truly were able to see God as a perfect father

When we take hold of the truth that our God has spanned heaven and earth to reach us, we will no longer be defined by our past but by the love of a perfect Father. Learn how God wants us to experience his unique, unconditional love and to live in the freedom, abundance, and blessing He freely gives.

Hebrews was a sermon for a specific people and culture in the midst of martyrdom and persecution, but is also so relevant for us today, reminding us to continue walking toward Jesus regardless of our culture or our circumstances.

Video Sessions:

• Session 1: Two Christological Concepts (38:00)—In this opening session Lisa dives into the background and history of Hebrews. She focuses on Hebrews 1:1-4 and the two Christological concepts found in Hebrews: the superiority and the accessibility of Jesus.

• Session 2: A King Who Weeps With His Subjects (32:00)—During this week's study in Hebrews 2, learners are reminded that if we aren't actively moving toward Jesus, there is a powerful riptide that is actively pulling us away from Him.

• Session 3: The Pursuit and Purpose of Rest (38:00)—Digging deeper into Hebrews 3 and 4, this week's study pursues the concept and purpose of rest found in both the Old and New Testaments.

• Session 4: Whatever You Do, Don't. Let. Go! (32:00)—Continuing Bible study in Hebrews 5 and 6, women are encouraged to mature in their faith by receiving and clinging to all that Christ has provided for them.

• Session 5: The Priciest of All Sacrifices (35:00)—In session 5 Lisa addresses the three most important offices of prophet, priest and king and how they are revealed in Jesus Christ and His ministry.

• Session 6: The Sophomore Class of Heroes (32:00)—We often read Hebrews 11 and review the list of the faithful. In this session Lisa reminds women of the sophomore class, those heroes of faith who made mistakes yet remained on the list of the faithful to God's plans and purposes.

• Session 7: A Charge to Go Outside Your Camp (15:00)—In this closing session women are challenged to go outside their camp, or their comfort zone, and seek to discover what God is leading them to pursue with passion in their journey of faith.

In The Gospel of Mark, you'll follow Jesus through His days of early ministry to the cross and discover what it means to be the recipients of His overflowing compassion and the very reason for His all-consuming passion.

Video Sessions:

• Session 1: Hold Me Please (35:00)—In the first session, we're introduced to Mark and his fast-paced style of storytelling. Based on the preaching of Peter, Mark's Gospel uniquely reports Jesus' compassionate ministry.

• Session 2: The Price of Discipleship and the Invaluable Prize of a Forever Family (35:05)—In this session Lisa talks about the price of being a Christ-follower. However, in spite of the cost, when we put our faith in Jesus Christ we're adopted in the forever family of God.

• Session 3: The One Who Prefers our Chopsticks to Beethoven (37:00)—This session is all about the amazing accessibility of Jesus. Though He is Lord of the universe, He is also an incredibly personal savior. Mark 4 & 5 show us His authority over the natural and supernatural, sickness, and even death, but through the story of the bleeding woman, we learn that He is a Savior who knows us and loves us on an individual, personal level.

• Session 4: The Unlikely Catalyst of Unbelief (34:00)—In this session we dive into Mark 9 and study Mark's passage on The Mount of Transfiguration. In this teaching we discover that what God promised in the Old Testament is perfectly fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament.

• Session 5: Calling All Curb Sitters (35:05)—In the last eight chapters of the Book of Mark, we turn from studying the compassionate works of Christ and begin the road to the cross. In Mark 10, Jesus continues to heal and perform miracles for the people He encounters, including Bartimaeus. Jesus not only heals him but changes his life.

• Session 6: When Real Love Leads to Big Trouble (37:10)—In this sixth session we look at Mark 13. In it, Jesus reminds us that even though being His followers in the end times is scary, He is still in control. He promised that there are hard days coming, but we have hope in Him.

• Session 7: Saving the Last for Best (16:55)—In the last chapter of Mark, we learn about Mary Magdalene, who reminds us that we all have seasons when we feel undeserving to be Jesus' disciples and representatives of His hope. The first witness to the gospel, Mary Magdalene was healed by Jesus and used her former brokenness to proclaim His glorious message. He is our restorer and He calls even the least of us to be vessels of His living hope.

Visions of the end of the world populate our movie screens and news headlines, causing us anxiety and fear. But, for Christians, the end times are not something to be afraid of. In the book of Revelation, God has provided a preview of what’s to come so that we might confidently trust God with our future. In this ten-session series, Dr. Tony Evans will walk through the book of Revelation verse by verse, uncovering God’s final plan for human history and our eternal destiny. This is more than a strange book of symbols—it is a call to worship God and live faithfully in the present.
