In the Old Testament there are prophetic windows of insight describing Christ's life, death and mission hundreds of years before he was born.
In this book, we study four of these passages in Isaiah. We learn information about Jesus that the New Testament doesn't tell us.
Jesus changed history. Why does a third of the world follow him? If we could only walk with him, we might know. In John on Jesus: The Story of God in the Flesh, we walk with Jesus through the Gospel of John.
In this second half of John’s Gospel, we follow Jesus from hours before his arrest, through his crucifixion to his resurrection. We learn how Jesus changed the world and can change you.
If God is good, does he have enough power to stop life's tragedies? If God could have stopped them, and he didn’t, how can we still call him good? Did God build our planet and walk away leaving us to fend for ourselves?
The book of Daniel answers these questions. It gives us a mind-expanding glimpse into the power, purposes and wisdom of God in the face of tragedy. On days when life feels hopeless because our heart is soaked in despair, the book of Daniel is what we need.
Jesus changed history. What made him special? If we could only walk with him, we might know. In John on Jesus: The Story of God in the Flesh, we walk with Jesus through the Gospel of John.
In this first half of John’s Gospel, Jesus performs seven miracles. While only a sampling of his extravagant power, John calls these miracles, signs. When taken together, they point us to the unmistakable conclusion that Jesus is God in the flesh.
Sex dominates our identity. Planted within us is a burning desire to passionately enjoy the opposite sex. Unfortunately, for many, that burning desire is a fire raging out of control.
In the Solomon on Sex book, we study the Song of Solomon line by line to unlock God’s plan for maximum sexual pleasure.
We also answer thirty-two common questions on sex and marital intimacy.
Designed to help pastors preach the book of James, this resource connects Christ to our culture in 27 messages.
The series divides the book into four parts to make series easier to follow.
The series also includes Small Group Work Sheets for group discussion.
At Christmas, we often turn to the Gospels to study Christ. Did you know Jesus is also found in the Old Testament, in particular, the book of Psalms?
This series examines four messianic Psalms. It gives us snapshots of Christ not in his humility, but in his glory.
See Christ like you never saw it before,... from the book of Psalms.
Are there rational reasons to trust the Bible is the Word of God? In Reasons to Believe Your Bible, we learn Christians aren’t expected to check their brains at the door. Rather, our mind should feed our faith.
Using logic, history and science, these messages explore rational reasons to trust the Bible as the Word of God.
This series also includes Small Group Work Sheets for group discussion with each message.
In, Doctrine - What Do We Believe?, Pastor Kurt Trucksess teaches eleven basics of the Christian faith as articulated by the 2008 revision of the Evangelical Free Church Statement of Faith.
The Doctrine series is guaranteed to challenge your heart and your mind. While rich in theology, using a no-holds-barred teaching style seasoned with stories and humor, Kurt will keep you engaged while you learn the basics of the faith.

There is no more Christ exalting book than Revelation. Christmas from the Book of Revelation reveals why the Lamb of God is the never-ending focus of worship. It explains why history can only be culminated by Christ. Along the way, we discover why God gave us passions for sports and what they teach us about worship.
Each message begins with interpretive grids for understanding this complex book. Like Benjamin Franklin glasses from the movie, “National Treasure,” these grids help us to see what God wants us to know.
In The Mysteries of Heaven, Pastor Kurt Trucksess brings clarity to mysteries beyond the grave.
It is practical teaching that paints a captivating picture of heaven, motivates us to live for things of eternal value, and casts a vision of the glory that await God’s children when their life’s work is complete.
One of the little known themes of the incarnation is the depth Jesus identified with ordinary people. In this series, we explore the real life problems surrounding Christ's birth.
Jesus understands ordinary people facing real life problems. He faced them himself.
