Derek teaches us today that Lucifer was a glorious created being who succumbed to pride. So what did God do next? He stooped low as He formed a man out of the dust of the earth. The dust of the earth met the breath of God from heaven and Adam was created. God wanted a person-to-person relationship with him.

Scripture prescribes the element of endurance as vital to our development and ultimate success as Christians. In fact, as you’ll hear today, tests and trials are the way we develop perseverance. You’ll want to listen closely to how Derek described two kinds of tests that ultimately make us or break us as Christians.

How do we release the power of God that is within us? Our carnal or fleshly mind wants to run things but that isn’t how it’s done in the spirit realm. Fasting helps bring your carnal self under submission to the spirit so you can hear from God and obey Him; not fight against Him.

Derek gave four steps that can lead you into God’s highest will for marriage. Listen to find out how you can apply biblical principles in marriage and experience the unity and joy God intends for your relationship.

How do we know whether or not we should marry? To miss God’s plan either way is to miss God’s highest. And Derek provided us with a wealth of knowledge about how to answer that question.

Our bodies were bought with a tremendous price to become dwelling places of the Holy Spirit. God wants to live in and through us—in and through you. Today Derek looks at God’s purposes for our bodies and to see how He wants us to cooperate with Him in His plans.

What happened when man turned away in self-will and rebellion? He became spiritually dead, but that was just the beginning. Derek delves into the effects of the rebellious nature on man’s soul and body. Tomorrow Derek reveals the remedy.

Jesus has a program, a plan for how the unity of the Church is to be accomplished, and He has provided the means through people. We have to commit, submit, and then fit into the fully functioning body of Christ.

Understanding that God is more concerned with people than things is of utmost importance. The keyword used in this message is restoration. God wants to restore to His people all that belongs to them.

Jesus gave His disciples a list of signs of the end of the age. Derek looks at these, stressing that lawlessness leads to lovelessness, not just in the world, but among Christians as well. We must guard ourselves and continue in the true love of God.
