In this one-hour workshop, we will present recommendations on practicing the Lord's Supper in an online environment. The workshop is divided into two parts. First, we will review principles from the Bible on how Communion should be celebrated. Second, we will conduct an interactive exercise in arranging an online Communion service.

In this lecture series, we will explore the themes of Jesus as the Creator, the Lamb of Glory, the Glorious Bridegroom, the Good Shepherd, and the King of the Nations! Participants will come away with greater insight about the glorious person and power of Jesus―how to connect with Him in prayer and who He wants to be to you! By God’s grace you will fall deeper in love with Him as you experience His beauty and majesty!

From our house to the Bauhaus; from our church to Saint Peter's Basilica; from our garden to Versailles; architecture is obsessed about finding home. This one-hour presentation considers the long journey from pastoral paradise to urban paradise, and the architectures we experience along the way.

In this course we will explore both the biblical theology of prayer from Paul and the prayers that Paul prayed for the churches in the letters that he penned! You will discover the key themes of Paul’s prayers, learning how to pray “Biblical Prayer” all for His Glory, and your Joy! You will gain simple tools to help you draw closer to the heart of God in prayer!

The resurrection is the keystone to the Christian faith. As the Apostle Paul argued, either the resurrection changes everything or Christianity is a fraud. In this Benefit Lecture, we'll attempt to harmonize the literary accounts of the resurrection in the Gospels as well as investigate the archaeology of the traditional site of the resurrection in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

“For the believer, the grace and demand of God are mediated through the concrete situation.” This one-hour workshop will explore the physical practice of walking as a concrete practice of spiritual devotion to our Lord. We will consider tools for praying with, though, and for places along our path, and postures of being oriented to our God as we walk our city’s streets, our park’s paths, our countries’ lanes: this Biblical landscape of life.

This lecture series will explore the synergy between prayer movements and mission movements as they collaborate to develop a common language, build communication networks, and facilitate effective partnerships.  These expressions of collaboration move toward the common goal of breakthrough for the gospel among every people in every place.

In his final hours, Jesus prayed that his Church would be one even as he and his Father were one (John 17:20). More often than not, however, Christians are divided into different camps on a variety of biblical and theological issues. This course will emphasize the points that unite Christians around the world and across time. Together, we will explore what it means to be united amid diversity in the Church as we seek to find mere Christianity.

What can we know about the historical facts of the Christmas story? The Gospel of Luke provides a detailed account of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and still questions remain. Andreas Gerstacker sifts through the current research with a critical eye and shows us why we can rely on the historical accuracy of Luke's telling of the Christmas story. This historical lecture will deepen your faith and enrich your celebration of the miracle of the birth of Jesus this Christmas season!

The Moravian Daily Texts are much more than simply another devotional. Published every year since 1731, the Daily Texts include Old and New Testament passages for the reader to reflect on through the day, portions of hymns, and carefully written prayers. This one-hour workshop will discuss what these texts are and how they can be used in both personal and corporate settings.

It's tempting to assume that the way we do things now is best, but history has much to teach us about what we have forgotten. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith through his vibrant narratives, we discover that old ways can bring new life to our own practice of Christian spirituality.

In this first in a series of four Benefit Lectures, we will follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther and explore one of the most significant castles in the world: the Wartburg in Eisenach, Germany.  It was here that Luther translated the New Testament from May 1521‒March 1522. We will see how Luther's translation of the Bible sustained the Reformation and how God does his most important works in our times of confinement and waiting.

The resurrection is the keystone to the Christian faith. As the Apostle Paul argued, either the resurrection changes everything or Christianity is a fraud. In this Benefit Lecture, we'll attempt to harmonize the literary accounts of the resurrection in the Gospels as well as investigate the archaeology of the traditional site of the resurrection in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
