Hearing God – Dallas Willard 7 Week Course                        


How do we hear God's voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear?

The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator. In this course you and your group can listen in as John Ortberg and Richard Foster dialogue with Dallas Willard on the themes of his classic book, Hearing God.


Read the book together, and then bring Ortberg, Foster and Willard to your next meeting. You might be surprised at what you hear when you really start listening to God in community.

Ephesians, A Video Study - Lecturer Clinton E. Arnold      

10 Week Course

This is an interactive course, accessible to anyone seeking to learn more from the New Testament, these lectures examine the Biblical text in its original environment, with an emphasis on practical outcomes while also exploring the theological depth.

Arnold highlights four themes that emerge in Paul's epistle to the Ephesians:

(1) the superior power of God over against spiritual powers;

(2) the unity of Jews and Gentiles through Jesus Christ;

(3) the encouragement for Gentiles believers to live holy lives before God; and

(4) the need for believers to be rooted in the knowledge of their new identity in Christ Jesus.

Woven into Paul's theology is a refrain of praise and adoration to the glory of God that insists such praise should also be our response. These lectures are an ideal resource for traditional students, students in distance and online-learning courses, and self-learners wanting to better understand Christian theology.

“Who is this Man?” - John Ortberg 6 Week Course

In this 6 session course,” Who Is This Man?,” John Ortberg reveals how Jesus made an inescapable influence on our world and you will learn how you can make one too!

Jesus is history’s most familiar figure. His impact on the world is immense and non-accidental. From the Dark Ages to Post-Modernity he is the man who won't go away.

And yet  he did not brashly defend his movement in the spirit of a rising political or military leader. He did not lay out a case that history would judge superior in all future books. He did not start by telling his disciples, "Here are proofs of my divinity; affirm them and I'll accept you."

Who Is This Man? illustrates how Jesus’ influence has swept over history, bringing his inspiration to the evolution of art, science, government, medicine, and education. And how his vision for us to lead lives of dignity, compassion, forgiveness, and hope continues to inspire and challenge humanity today.

The Divine Conspiracy - Dallas Willard 7 week Course


The Divine Conspiracy captured the attention of Christians across the world, by offering a timely and challenging call back to the true meaning of Christian discipleship.

Gracefully weaving biblical teaching, popular culture, science and scholarship together, Dallas Willard refuted the view that Christianity is solely about gaining admittance to heaven when we die, and taught that, as disciples, we have access now to the life of the kingdom.

Equally relevant today as it was on publication, The Divine Conspiracy challenges us to step aside from the pieties of contemporary Christian practice and offers instead a practical plan by which we can become Christ-like. Truly, it has earned its reputation as a modern Christian classic.


The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard was published by William Collins in 1998

Understanding Spiritual Gifts 10 week Course Sam Storms

Sam Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ.


In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ.


God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer.

Understanding Spiritual Warfare 10 week Course Sam Storms

A comprehensive, theological guide to everything the Bible has to say about spiritual warfare.

Many Christians today are unaware or sceptical of the reality of Satan and the role he and his demonic hordes seek to exert on our lives. But if we're to take Scripture seriously, we can't overlook the biblical assertions about the spiritual battles between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil. Sam Storms explains the biblical teaching on spiritual warfare and shares numerous personal accounts of victories over the demonic, answering question like:

 Who is Satan and his demons, and how do they act?

 Can a Christian be demonised?

 How does the authority of Christ defeat the devil and the demonic?

 What is “warfare prayer” and how can we wield it?


Perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual warfare, 

Understanding Spiritual Warfare also serves as a training manual for a ministry of deliverance and inner healing.

Deeper - 10 week Course - Dane Ortlund

The Christian life is defined by growth. Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.

In his newest book, Deeper, pastor and author Dane Ortlund takes Christians into the deep structures of biblical teaching on how they grow in grace—most fundamentally, by enjoying all that is already theirs in Christ.

Ortlund brings believers into the fullness of Christ, the emptiness of self-reliance, and their need for union and communion with God. This book makes the case that a believer’s sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to Christ. Each of its 9 chapters encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace.
