How can you help others find rest in Jesus when they think that their sins have been too grievous, that their hearts cannot be changed, and that their cases are truly hopeless?

Q3 Rest in Christ #10 Sabbath Rest
Sabbath is a celebration of freedom from all the things that keep us in bondage. On Sabbath, we are reminded that there is freedom from sin, not in our own power but in the power of God, which is offered to us by faith.

Q3 Rest in Christ #09 The Rhythms of Rest
During this week, we will study God’s wonderful invitation to enter into a dynamic rest, again and again, with every seventh day. How can keeping the Sabbath holy be a reminder of freedom and liberation? How can we avoid making it restrictive and legalistic?

Q3 Rest in Christ #08 Free to Rest
God wants to cure us on the inside first. Sometimes He chooses to bring us immediate physical healing, sometimes we will have to wait for resurrection morning to experience physical healing. How can we find rest and peace, even when our prayers for healing are not answered, at least now?
Aug 19, 2021•20 min•Season 8Ep. 8
Q3 Rest in Christ #07 Rest, Relationships, and Healing
This week we will look at forgiveness and what it can do for restless human hearts. Without forgiveness, we remain victims. Forgiveness has more to do with ourselves than with the person or persons who have wronged us.

Q3 Rest in Christ #06 Finding Rest in Family Ties
This week we turn to the story of Joseph and his family ties in order to watch God at work bringing healing and emotional rest despite dysfunctional family relationships.

Q3 Rest in Christ #05 Come to Me
Why is living a life of obedience to God’s law one of more restfulness than one in which we disobey that law?
Jul 29, 2021•25 min•Season 8Ep. 5

Jul 22, 2021•17 min•Season 8Ep. 4
Q3 Rest in Christ #03 The Root of Restlessness
In this week’s study, we want to discover some of the roots of our restlessness. There are many things that can prevent us from finding true rest in Jesus. Some of these are obvious and don’t require much attention. Others may be less obvious to us, and, as with the huge aspen organism unseen beneath the ground, we may not always be conscious of the attitudes and actions that separate us from our Savior.

Q3 Rest in Christ #02 Restless and Rebellious
In this week’s study, we look at some examples of strange human restlessness that was brought about, not by impending natural disasters such as earthquakes but, rather, by the basic sinfulness of fallen human beings who were not resting in what Christ offers all who come to Him in faith and obedience.
Jul 08, 2021•33 min•Season 8Ep. 2
Q3 Rest in Christ #01 Living in a 24/7 Society
Acknowledging Jesus as the Lord of our lives also involves taking seriously our responsibility to make time to rest. After all, the Sabbath commandment isn’t merely a suggestion. It is a commandment!

Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #13 The New Covenant Life
Why should we feel joy? What is it about the covenant that should free us from the burden of guilt? What does it mean to have a new heart?
Jun 24, 2021•20 min•Season 7Ep. 13
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #12 Covenant Faith
Why must salvation be a gift? Why could only Someone equal with God ransom our souls? How can we make the promises and hope found in the Cross our own?
Jun 17, 2021•34 min•Season 7Ep. 12
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #11 New Covenant Sanctuary
The old covenant-sacrificial system was replaced by the new; instead of animals being sacrificed by sinful priests in an earthly sanctuary, we now have Jesus, our perfect Sacrifice. He represents us before the Father in the sanctuary in heaven, which forms the basis of the new covenant and its promises.
Jun 10, 2021•28 min•Season 7Ep. 11
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #10 The New Covenant
The “new covenant” is, in a sense, a “renewed covenant.” It is the completion, or the fulfillment, of the first one.

Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #9 Covenant Sign
Where does the Sabbath have it origins? What evidence proves that the Sabbath existed before Sinai? What makes the Sabbath such an appropriate covenant sign?
May 27, 2021•21 min•Season 7Ep. 9
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #8 Covenant Law
God’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.
May 20, 2021•25 min•Season 7Ep. 8
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #7 Covenant at Sinai
Whatever God asks us to do, our relationship with Him must be founded upon faith. Faith provides the basis upon which works follow. Works, in and of themselves, no matter how purely motived, no matter how sincere, no matter how numerous, can’t make us acceptable in the sight of a holy God.

Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #6 Abraham’s Seed
Our study this week focuses on the identity and role of God’s true Israel in every age, including our own.
May 06, 2021•30 min•Season 7Ep. 6
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #5 Children of the Promise

Apr 29, 2021•29 min•Season 7Ep. 5
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #4 An Everlasting Covenant

Apr 22, 2021•33 min•Season 7Ep. 4
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #3 All Future Generations
In what ways is God’s grace revealed in the covenant with Noah before the Flood? What does the covenant God made with humanity after the Flood teach us about His universal love for us?
Apr 15, 2021•31 min•Season 7Ep. 3
Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #2 Covenant Primer
This 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.

Q2 The Promise: God's Everlasting Covenant #1 What Happened?
The 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?

Q1 Isaiah #13 Rebirth of Planet Earth
Why 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?
Mar 24, 2021•37 min•Season 6Ep. 13
Q1 Isaiah #12 Desire of Nations
Sin can destroy our relationship with the Lord and thus lead to our eternal ruin—not because sin drives God away from us but that it drives us away from God.
Mar 16, 2021•45 min•Season 6Ep. 12
Q1 Isaiah #11 Waging Love
What 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?
