Standing in the shadows of Golgotha, I see: (a) the jagged crown of my king, (b) the wounded hands of my healer, (c) the bleeding side of my redeemer, (d) the stationary feet of my exemplar, (e) the "Prince of Life" at the point of death, and … well, (f) a sinful, selfish, helpless me. I am the cause of it all!

Bonus Years (Psalm 90:10)
Friday August 16, 2024 7:00pm - 7:45pm EDT
Hotel Deep Creek
Turning 70 last year was very sobering for me (it is still hard to wrap my mind around). Jerry and I have discussed quite a bit lately how we can remain useful in the Lord’s service in the time we have left and ways we can mentor those who will carry on after we are gone. This lesson addresses specific ways in which women can be active and involved during the "bonus" years, even as they face declining health and possibly widowhood.

Engaging the Skeptics (Series): God’s Relationship to Time
Saturday August 17, 2024 9:00am - 9:30am EDT
Hotel Cades Cove
The Bible affirms that God is "the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity" (Isaiah 57:15). But what exactly does this mean? Is God timeless, above time, throughout all time, or what? Does a timeless God create time? Questions such as these have motivated criticism of biblical theism, but they have good answers.

Answering the Things That Trip Up Agnostics
Sunday August 18, 2024 2:00pm - 2:45pm EDT
SEC Meeting Room B
True science is catching up with the Bible, to the point where "following the science" will lead a person towards Christianity and away from atheism. In response, those opposed to God have shifted much of their attack to "we really cannot be sure about anything," i.e., encouraging agnosticism. This session will focus on biblical answers to addressing stumbling blocks that agnostics may face.

Many ardent evolutionists are apparently unaware of the fact that, according to experts, not only is human evolution unsubstantiated, but that the evidence stands against it. While a person has the freedom to continue to believe it, he should realize that he must maintain a blind faith in order to do so. Often claimed evidences for human evolution simply do not substantiate evolutionary theory.

The Brokenhearted (Part 1): God Heals Broken Lives
Monday August 19, 2024 4:00pm - 4:30pm EDT
SEC Meeting Room A
The class comes out of the experiences of my life and ministry. Sometimes, as we go through life, difficult situations arise. It is during these times that people give up on God, forsake the church, and go back to the world. If we wait upon the Lord and remain faithful, we will find that God restores the brokenhearted. Examples of Job and discussion of Romans 8:28 and other texts gives the biblical basis for this lesson which urges us to be faithful during difficult times.

My Shoulder Is to the Plow
Monday August 19, 2024 4:00pm - 4:30pm EDT

This topic immediately brings to the mind of most Bible students the admonition of Jesus Christ recorded in Luke chapter 9. When taking our proverbial position behind the "plow" that is the Christian faith, looking back should never be an option. Lot’s wife (Genesis 19:24–29), Nehemiah (Nehemiah 6:1–19), Jesus (Luke 9:57–62), Paul (Philippians 3:13–15), and the Hebrews epistle (Hebrews 12:1–3) all remind us of the laser-like focus that we must have as we labor in the vineyard of the King!

Hot Button Issues: What Was the Sin of Sodom?
Tuesday August 20, 2024 8:20am - 8:50am EDT
SEC Ballroom D
Modern scholars disagree about the precise nature of the sin that provokes God’s wrath in Genesis 19. Some isolate the aggressors’ inhospitality to the exclusion of any potential sexual deviance and allege that the traditional emphasis on fornication, especially homosexual intercourse, is a historically recent phenomenon. This lesson critiques this assertion by demonstrating that there is a tradition in Second Temple Judaism and the primitive church attributing sexual sins, including homosexuality, to Sodom and its neighbors.

The Brokenhearted (Part 2): Helping the Brokenhearted
Tuesday August 20, 2024 10:20am - 10:50am EDT
SEC Meeting Room A
We will look at some examples of how churches sometimes helped and sometimes failed to help people during their crisis. The purpose is not to point out others’ failures, but to remind us of the simple idea of the importance of being there when people are hurting. Job shows an example of how his friends helped him when they sat with him, but failed because they tried to find a meaning behind the loss. Churches who are there for the hurting have fewer people fall away and more people won to Christ.

Revelation 1–3 teaches that some churches have been moving from life to death as long as there have been churches. The church is perfect, but no individual congregation is. A church that stops working on itself, and stops letting Jesus work on them, starts dying. What needs to be fixed where we are?

Fear can be innate or learned. Some fears are healthy, while others can keep one from being what he could be and can even put others in danger. Unhealthy fear not only keeps us from doing the things we should, but it can also freeze our ability to grow in Christ. This lesson will examine those who overcame their fears to accomplish great things and will show how we can do the same.

In my first year of ministry, I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out things that can draw people to a Bible study. After time spent on ideas, I had to learn that evangelism should not be that complicated. The very first thing I needed as a preacher was a contact. No contacts, no Bible studies. No Bible studies, no fruit. No fruit, no growth. I learned that creating contacts should be my focus. In this lesson I share several ways to create contacts for evangelism.

Thursday August 22, 2024 8:15am - 8:45am EDT

"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong" (1 Corinthians 16:13). Before the blade is a useful and mighty weapon, the blacksmith picks up his hammer, grabs the red-hot piece of steel from the coals, and carefully brings it to the anvil where he will commence the great processes of shaping raw steel into a strong and tempered instrument. That’s the way it is with God and man. Before we ever become mighty instruments in His hands, there’s a process of hammering, purifying, tempering, and molding that has to take place. That’s what FORGED is all about. DVD #279
