Has your life been disrupted today? Unfortunately, we all experience disruptions—both on the smaller scale of daily interruptions and on the larger scale of deep pain.

Worry is concern over the future. But, the future is not here. Only God sees the shape of it. And according to the Bible, worry is concern over the unknown - the uncontrollable future. Prepare to face the giant of worry by finding out what Jesus is talking about, and what He is not talking about, when He says in the Sermon on the Mount, Don't Worry. Covers Matthew 6:25-34.
When surveying prophecy, it’s natural to wonder about the future of one’s particular country. For Americans, Scripture is silent on their country’s future.

Is there a guarantee in Scripture that a child who dies goes to heaven? Even more agonizing than the death of a child, can be the parents’ question about their child’s eternal destination. In this message, David explores the answer to this question from his careful study of God’s Word.
Everyone has heard the expression, “Oh, this is just heaven!” Granted, it’s a figure of speech, but it betrays the casual approach most people take to something that is biblically serious. Since heaven is the eternal home of Christians, we should know all there is to know about it. Covers selected Scriptures.
Do you find paradoxes confusing? The Apostle Paul talked about finding comfort through suffering, life through death, glory through shame, and strength in weakness. It is clear from understanding this book that at the core of Paul’s concept of Christianity were these apparently contradictory statements. Covers 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.
Most of us tend to think that the best times in life are the times that are full of happiness and free of stress. But the Bible has a different view.

Because in our trials we build our faith and come to know even more of the goodness and greatness of God. Covers James 1:1-12.
It seems like there is no shortage of financial advice to be consumed in the modern world. People obsess over their ability to retire and enjoy the wealth they have earned in their lifetime.

Covers James 5:1-6.

Our culture doesn't really understand what love is all about. We get our ideas of marital love from movies, but the Bible says that our love for one another should be like the love Jesus has for the church. Covers Ephesians 5:25.
On a bad day, a parent might be heard to say, “These children are incorrigible!” What is actually true is that all children are “encouragable”-that is, able to be encouraged. This challenge for parents and teachers is to learn encouragement skills that really work. Covers selected Scriptures
We often toss instruction manuals aside, preferring to learn by trial and error. But there’s one manual we should carefully adhere to, and Dr. David Jeremiah unequivocally points us to the Bible as he answers the often-asked question, “What on Earth Am I Here For?” Covers selected Scriptures.
Biblical literacy was at its highest in America in the first century after the nation's founding - and it has been decreasing ever since. Slowly but surely, the Bible has been pushed to the periphery of the public square. And as often happens, as goes the nation go goes the church. Covers selected Scriptures.
Depression is often characterized as a recent phenomenon, an illness of the modern age. But if you read the Bible, you will find that depression was just as present in those times too. Many great men of God—like David and Jeremiah—struggled with feelings of despair and darkness. We should find comfort in knowing that depression is something that can affect any person of faith, and that God sees and understands our pain. Covers Job 3:1–26.
The Muslim religion has existed for 1,500 years, yet it has only been in the last few decades that Westerners have become aware of the power and presence of Islam in the world. A minority of the world’s Muslims are militant extremists for whom chaos is part of their life’s mission. Covers Ezekiel 38:1-6.
