Biblical Studies

The Truth Project

In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed the stunning statistic that only 9 percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview.  To counter this slide within the body of Christ, Focus on the Family launched The Truth Project, “one of the most ambitious and powerful projects in the history of our ministry.” The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.

Scripture Memory

This 6-week course is designed to teach, encourage, and promote the memorization of God’s Word.

Beth Moore Bible Studies

The Revelation: Here and Now, There and Then

This walk through all 22 chapters of the book of The Revelation is the latest of Beth Moore’s Bible studies.  It is formatted a little differently than her others, with slightly longer video time, but shorter homework demands. Its purpose is to increase worship, anticipation, and fear of God in willing hearts and to light a fire in our spirits to study Revelation in greater depth. This challenges you to do some digging on your own, and to journal what you discover!
