BLESSINGS ABOVE & BEYOND PS-203 | |
Text | The Bible / Workbook by Linda A. Ratcliff, Th.D. |
Course Description: | Salvation is the greatest blessing God has ever given to us. He loved us so much that He sent His one and only Son into the world, to die on the cross so that we might have eternal life through Him (1 John 4:9). If that were the only blessing we ever received from God, it would be much more than we deserve. But after we are saved by grace through faith, we become the adopted children of God. Learn how the Lord loves to shower His children with so many blessings that are above and beyond salvation. |

CALLED BY GODPS-314 The Life & Ministry of the Apostle Paul |
|
Text: | The Bible / Workbook by Linda Ratcliff, Th.D, Ed.D. |
Course Description: | A comprehensive study of the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. Although we honor Paul with this study, if Paul were able to communicate with us today, he would likely refer to the Old Testament passage found in Psalm 115:1 and apply it to himself. He would humbly declare, "Not to me, O Lord, not to me, but to Your name be the glory." |

The CRIMINAL'S BELIEF SYSTEMRJ-619 | |
Text: | The Criminal's Belief System: Why Criminals Do the Things They Do / Text and Workbook by Linda A. Ratcliff, Th.D., Ed.D. |
Course Description: | Sometimes when we hear about another crime, we wonder, "What on earth were they thinking?" The fact is, many criminals have hardened their hearts, their thoughts have developed into a different belief system resulting in different thinking patterns, and these thoughts impacted the choices and actions that led to their incarceration. In this course, we will be studying some of the common beliefs and thoughts of criminals that have come out of a hardened heart, and match them up, one by one, with truths from God’s Word. |

HOW MIRACLES FOLLOW OBEDIENCE PS-235 | |
Text: | How Miracles Follow Obedience / Text and Workbook by Linda Ratcliff, Th.D., Ed.D. |
Course Description: | There is an unmistakable correlation between the miracles the Lord has performed in history and the unusual commands He gave those who obeyed him. Over and over, He asked believers to do things that might have seemed ridiculous at the time – perhaps to themselves as well as the others around them. This course examines several examples where obedience resulted in the release of His miraculous power. |

Text: | Jesus, the Greatest Life Coach, text and workbook by Linda A. Ratcliff, Th.D., Ed.D. |

WALK WORTHY PS-311 What That Looks Like in the Life of a Believer |
|
Text: | Walk Worthy, Text and Workbook by Linda A. Ratcliff, Th.D., Ed.D. |
Course Description: | To “walk”, in these lessons, refers to the way we live our lives. In other words, our lifestyle or way of life can be considered a “walk.” Our walk is important to the Lord; we know this because there are 229 instances in the Bible that refer to our walk. As we delve into each reference regarding our walk as a believer, I encourage you to begin adjusting the direction and stride of your walk so that it lines up more and more with the Word, day by day. |

NEW!WHEN GOD INTERRUPTS RJ-635 | |
Text: | When God Interrupts, Text and Workbook by Linda A. Ratcliff, Th.D., Ed.D. & Irene Semu, B.Th. |
Course Description: | This course was inspired by the worldwide shutdown due to COVID-19. Besides the obvious health impacts of the pandemic, many people are still struggling with the immense emotional, economical, and societal changes it triggered. So I began to wonder, where was God's hand in all this? Were there examples in the Bible of saints whose lives had been interrupted so dramatically? To my surprise, my original outline had notes for over 50 interruptions in the Bible, and they almost always ended with result that the person whose life was interrupted had just received a new assignment from the Lord. |
