THE DOWNWARD PATH TO A BROKEN LIFE
Dissatisfied, disillusioned, despairing. Such was the state of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. How did he go from his father’s house to the pigs’ pen? That descent into misery is an all too familiar journey for many of us. However, there is a path that leads out of it.
THE PROMISE
Our heavenly Father is a God of promise. From Genesis to Revelation, you can find Him fulfilling His word to His people. But even with God’s perfect record of kept promises, it can be difficult to fully trust Him to answer prayers. Learn about God’s faithfulness and depend on His character as it was revealed in the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.
BE CAREFUL WHEN ALL IS WELL
It’s easy to be on alert when things are going wrong. But when everything is good, do you find yourself letting your guard down? Believers must be vigilant even in times of peace because Satan is always looking to trip us up. Don’t fall prey to his subtle traps—keep watch and trust the Lord to protect you.

THE GREAT DECEPTION
Satan’s words to Eve about eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil directly contradicted what God had told her. Yet he convinced her there would be no repercussions to her disobedience. Satan still uses the same lie to deceive us today—that God’s Word can’t be trusted and that sin has no consequences. Learn to resist his deception and obey God.
LESSONS LEARNED IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
The story of Adam and Eve is so familiar to most Christians that we sometimes treat it as a simple cautionary tale. But it’s not a moral fable; it’s the Word of God. And it has so much more to offer us than spare ribs and fig leaves. Much time has passed since the Garden of Eden, but the lessons remain the same for us. Discover how the very beginning of all things affects our present lives.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISOBEDIENCE IN THE GARDEN
Every action we take has consequences, whether we’re obeying God or disobeying Him. The truth is that there are repercussions for sin, but ultimately God is on our side when we repent and accept His forgiveness. Take heed of God’s commands because obeying them is always in your best interest.
PRAYER THAT MOVES GOD
Prayer is seriously powerful business. So often, though, we treat it as a perfunctory task to be checked off our daily to-do list. How can we shift our attitudes from boredom and obligation to joy and expectation? The Lord always inclines His ear to His children. Learn the foundational principles of effective prayer, and how to confidently approach God with our petitions and requests.
YOUR CONVICTIONS ABOUT THE JUDGMENT OF THE BELIEVER
Judgment—it’s a heavy word that inspires anxiety, dread, and possibly despair. But for the believer, it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this message, Dr. Stanley explains that judgment for Christians isn’t something we have to be afraid of. Yes, we will be held accountable for our lives, but God’s desire is to reward His children, not punish them. Learn how to live in such a way that one day you’ll hear the words, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
