Lesson 5 - The Way to Peace Mark 4:35-41; Matthew 14:22-33. What do you do when following the Lord gets hard? When problems arise and you find yourself struggling in ways you never imagined? The disciples faced those questions on the stormy sea of Galilee; and the lessons they learned there changed the way they followed Him.

Lesson 4 - The Way to Wholeness John 5:1-16. Most were too busy to notice the crumpled figure of the man on his mat; yet, in the midst of so many, Jesus saw him. And the question He asked the paralytic that day is the question He asks us as well: “Do you want to be made well?” The man’s entire future hinged upon his answer and what he did afterward. Jesus is the way to wholeness. Do we have the faith to walk in what He offers? For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Lesson 3 - The Way to Sight John 9:1-38, Mark 10:46-52, Mark 8:22-26 and Isaiah 42:16. As we look at three different people who received sight from Jesus we realize that their stories picture our own lives. The Bible says we are all lost in a spiritual darkness that invades every part of our being. We cannot heal our blindness — only God can do that — and the cure is still the same. Like those in our lesson, we must come to Jesus, for He is the light of the world and those who walk in Him never walk in darkness!

Lesson 2 - The Way to Transformation John 2:1-11. It was a happy wedding feast with friends and neighbors in the village of Cana until an urgent need arose. Disaster loomed. A quiet word from His concerned mother and some nearby available jars were all He needed to transform the situation. It was the first of the signs His disciples would experience — and it wouldn’t be the last as they began to learn just Who He was and what He wanted them to know.

Lesson 1 - The God Who Reveals Himself Various Scriptures. In the New Testament miracles are often called “signs”— signs that pointed the way to God and proved the truth of the Gospel. Join Michele as she begins this study by taking a look at some of the questions people have about miracles.

Lesson 18 Final thoughts on our study. Revelation has taught us that we can have confidence in Jesus Christ for He is utterly trustworthy! We can face all kinds of trials with courage knowing that He shall have complete victory! Until He returns, we are called to stand with courage in the face of evil. We are to obey Christ until the very end, resisting social pressure to turn away from Him. For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Lesson 17 Revelation 22:1-21. As this beautiful book of Revelation concludes John speaks of this glorious city of God where the River of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, flows from God's throne and where mankind is able to eat of the Tree of Life once more. A place where we will see Him face to face and enjoy Him forever! For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Lesson 16 Paul declared in 1 Corinthians 2:9 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him” and here in Revelation 21:1-27 we see John attempt to describe that which is indescribable! No words can do Heaven justice! For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Lesson 15 As we study Revelation 19:11-20:15 we realize the first time Christ came to earth He arrived riding a donkey, which in those days was a sign of a king who came in peace. This time it is very different as He arrives riding a white horse as a picture of a conquering King coming in victory. John notices the blood on Christ’s robe; and though we normally associate Jesus with the blood of His redemptive sacrifice, this time, the blood on His garments is the blood of His enemies as well! For He has come to make war with justice and righteousness against all that is evil. For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Lesson 14 Revelation 18:1-19:10. With Mystery Babylon and all she stood for destroyed those who dwell on the earth express their woe - not for her destruction as much as what that will mean for their lives and their businesses! The picture in Heaven is much different as praises ring out and the long-anticipated wedding supper of the Lamb begins! Not only is the Bride (the Church) in attendance, but at the banquet table are seated all of those who have trusted God and looked forward to His provision over the ages!

Lesson 13 The bowls of God's wrath are quickly poured out upon the Beast's Empire and upon those who follow him. We noticed these are much like God's Judgements that fell upon the Egyptians just before the Exodus of His people from bondage! As bowl after bowl falls, Heaven confirms that God is just in these judgments for all He does is to avenge the deaths of His holy people! We also meet the woman that belongs to the Antichrist and to the Dragon and though we still have many questions about her one thing is sure - she will be judged most severely!

Revelation 12 As we cover Revelation 14 and 15, John sees the holy ones of God standing in heaven praising the Lamb as they sing their song of deliverance just before the bowls of God's wrath are poured out on those who have rejected Him. The wicked vine of Babylon that intoxicates and poisons the people of the earth will be cut down and the so-called “fruit” associated with it will be thrown into the wine press of God’s wrath to be crushed.

Revelation 11 Having been cast out of heaven, Satan knows that his time is short; and so, determined to do as much damage as he can he delegates his power to the two beasts who are the main figures in chapter 13. The Beast from the Sea represents the Antichrist — the political leader through whom Satan works during that time, while the Beast from the Earth represents “the False Prophet” who will work alongside the Antichrist, not only promoting him but also heading up the world’s false religion of the time and causing those who follow the Antichrist to take the Mark of the Beast upon them.

Lesson 10 As we study Revelation 12:1-17 we learn that from the beginning Satan’s mission has always been to destroy the Anointed One, the Christ of God, in order to prevent the Redemption of mankind and consequently he has tried on numerous occasions to destroy the Jewish people from whom the Messiah would come.

Lesson 9 John speaks of a time when those who do not belong to God hold power in Jerusalem and their destructive influence is felt in that city for 42 months. Even so, God’s voice is not silenced because He sends two witnesses to earth to speak forth His message.

Lesson 8 In the first two woes of the Tribulation God shows John all of Hell let loose on the earth. Though the suffering is great He reveals that the opportunity to repent and be saved still exists, even then. However, the people of the earth choose not to take hold of the forgiveness that could so easily be theirs and so finally God declares: "There shall be no delay!" Grace will no longer be extended and judgment is about to begin! For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit: https://intheword.com

Lesson 7 Revelation 7:1-8:13 Prior to the judgements of Revelation all those who belong to God, both Jew and Gentile alike, are marked as His servants with the seal of the Living God, helping us to realize that even in the midst of terrible calamity God knows who are His!

Lesson 6 Revelation 6:1-17 As Jesus open the scroll in heaven different events happen upon the earth. One of the truths made plain to us from the text is that God often holds back His full judgement, thus proving His great mercy. He does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance. Join us, to find out what effect that has on the hearts of those who have previously rejected God.

Lesson 5 Revelation 4:6-5:14 John wept at the thought that there was no one in heaven to open the scroll - God's final will for the earth. The glimpse of heaven had changed his heart from one filled with fear to one overflowing with eager expectation! He was told that the Lion of Judah was able to open the scroll and to look inside but when he turned John didn't see a lion, but rather a lamb looking as though violently slain. As the Lion of Judah, Christ the Messiah is ruler of all! But He is also the Lamb of God, who was slain so that we could be freed from the power of sin to stand clothed in purity before the throne of God in Heaven.

Lesson 4 Revelation 3:7-4:6 As we study the last two churches of Revelation we see that there was such a contrast between the Faithful Church in Philadelphia and the Lukewarm Church of Laodicea. Those who were faithful had "little strength" of their own, whereas those of Laodicea were so self-sufficient they didn't even know how much they needed Jesus!
