What is revival- It is a principle taught in the Bible that is a necessary event in the life of a believer. We all have a tendency to become complacent and stagnant in our relationship and walk with God. Several factors in the Bible indicate this. We will look at some of those in this lesson and some in the next lesson. In this series we will learn the Biblical principle of revival, why it is needed, how it takes place and what the results are in the lives of believers and those around them.

Job is probably the most vivid example of when life becomes difficult. Here was a very succesful man who experienced tragedy and did not know why. He received counsel from some of his friends, while well meaning, they were wrong. All the while, Satan was the reason behind the entire difficulty. So many times in our lives, Satan initiates difficulty to create doubt in our minds and turn us from God. When we do, we fall right into his trap. In this lesson we will see what Job did and how to avoid falling into Satan's trap when Life Is Difficult-

Life can present some pretty difficult situations. being mistreated by someone we love or being overlooked for that promotion. Expecting to get something we want only to find out it was given to somebody else instead.

Why- In this lesson we will examine why Jonah was bitter and angry and the cure that kept him from losing his life. If you have ever struggled or are struggling with bitterness and anger, this lesson is for you. At some point we will all need these truths to help us-

He confronted wicked king Ahab and told him it wouldn't rain again until he said so. He saw God provide for his needs in the wilderness and through a poor widow. He also saw God bring a young boy back from the dead when he prayed. However, Elijah ran from Jezebel when she threatened his life. Why- In this lesson and the next, we will examine what caused Elijah's collapse and what the cure is. Sometimes the pressures of life can cause us to become afraid and so tired of fighting that we're at the point of giving up. I've been there. God has an answer. Let God's word change you just like it did Elijah and me-

Jesus is our Savior. Of that there is no doubt. But that is not all He is to us. He is our example of the proper way to live. He lived for 33 years and ministered publicly for 3 1-2 years to show us how it should be done.He went through everything we could possibly face yet without sin. In this lesson we talk about three things, Who Jesus is, What His purpose was and what we should do about Him as individuals.

When does salvation begin and end- The wonderful part about salvation is that we are promised that it will accomplish what God intended for it to accomplish- We will be like Christ one day and live with God forever in Heaven. In this lesson we examine the Purpose, the Process and the Progression of salvation. When we received Christ as our savior we began a journey with God that ends in Heaven. Understanding this journey and what God is doing causes life to have a whole new meaning. It helps us to understand some of the -WHYS- in our life. This one truth could change your life and how you approach life.

In answering the question, -What is Salvation- there are two things that must be addressed. First the understanding of our situation with God. This we discussed in part 1.

Is God really in control- Have you ever had someone to console you in a time of sorrow, loss, or despair by saying that -God is in control and He has a purpose for this in your life.- That sounds great, but it does not always bring encouragement. Two things cause that fact to encourage us- timing - understanding. In this lesson we will focus on understanding what it means that God is in control. What is the providence of God, what is the foundation of God's providence and what are the two aspects of God's providence. All of these are discussed din this lesson-
