Whether you have traveled to Israel, hope to one day, or may never, this series is an eye-opener for what biblical Israel holds for the Bible student. 

This 12-episode video series will help you  link the area's geography, culture, and locations to the biblical text. It also looks at specific passages and the Biblical figures referenced, revealing what the location looked like, its physical and cultural characteristics and topography. This background isn't to be a historical expert but to give greater meaning to the biblical passages you study.  

See and experience key Scriptural sites and locations today by following the same itinerary Madelon uses when leading groups to Israel. Understand the historical relevance of these locations and how their physical topography illuminates Biblical passages. 

This virtual tour is a unique Bible study expedition to expand your understanding of the Scriptures.

Parables were the favorite way Jesus communicated.  He told stories about trees and soil and seeds and sheep -- everyday things that anyone could understand.  And they were secular stories, with only one of the almost 40 he told mentioning God.  These are stories to make you think, to scratch your head, to figure out how they apply to your situation now. 

I love how Eugene Peterson, author of "The Message", describes what then happened after people walked away thinking there was nothing threatening about these stories.  "Like a time bomb, they would explode in their unprotected hearts.  An abyss opened up at their very feet.  He was talking about God; they had been invaded!"   

These seven parables cover economic and money issues, one of the challenges many families face in contemporary times.  Listen to the one-hour video segments and let them "explode" in your head and heart! 

Even better, gather some friends, form a Bible study, and share what they mean to you and hear from others.  Fascinating stuff!

This four-part series sheds light on why community is so important in both the Bible and today.  Use it to inform your commitment to your current faith community and how it can be  strengthened. 

You will learn how a biblical community provides a support network to encourage connections, promote spiritual well-being, and explains how to bond with others who share similar values and goals.

Explore how a community grounded in the Scriptures can speak to isolation, political unrest, foreign adversaries, overreach by government and economic challenges.  These were all  difficulties people faced in the Old and New Testament periods as well.  

You will learn through these four one-hour videos how a community is formed through mutual respect, prayer, the Holy Spirit and love.  

Any bookstore carries dozens of titles of leadership books.  But very few take their lead from the Bible!  Improve your leadership skills by learning how they can be grounded in biblical principles.

This course explores three main areas:

• Five attributes of leadership based on thousands of interviews by leadership gurus, Kouzes and Posner.
• Biblical examples of leaders and leadership, from both the Old and New Testaments 
• Your preparation for greater leadership grounded in these practical principles.

These three one-hour video talks offer a unique opportunity to get a bird's eye view of the overarching patterns that emerged in French history, from Caesar to the Enlightenment.  You'll learn about religion in the Roman period in ancient Gaul, the Middle Ages, the Reformation in nearby Germany, the break from the Papacy, the Enlightenment, and how all those roads led to the French Revolution.   

You will discover how these trends shaped religion in France through the centuries, how they build on one another and lead to the trends in religion we see (or don't see) in today's France.
