We reign, TODAY, with Jesus in freedom and power through the Holy Spirit. This is a current reality for all believers in which we can choose to learn, grow, and participate. In this Bible Classroom exclusive, Nathan discusses chapters 19-22 and the new heaven and new earth.

External beauty and power — the appearance of order, composure, and symmetry — does not correspond to the presence of integrity — the reality of living empowered by the Holy Spirit. One’s faith is the sign of God’s favor and approval — not one’s stability and acclaim. In this Bible Classroom exclusive, Nathan discusses chapters 15-18 and the bowls, beast, and the unfaithful woman.

No matter what we face, the enemy does not have power or authority in our lives. God works all things out for good for all who trust in Him – He wins every circumstance. In this Bible Classroom exclusive, Nathan discusses chapters 12-14 and the woman and the two beasts.

God is perceived safe for those who put their trust, dependence, and faith in Him. God is dangerous to those who distrust or mistrust Him and live independent of His design. In this Bible Classroom exclusive, Nathan discusses chapters 8-11 and the two witnesses.

True Israel (God’s faithful people) are more than conquerors through Jesus no matter what tribulation may befall them. In this Bible Classroom exclusive, Nathan discusses chapters 4-7 and the seven seals.

Despite David's many failures, he was still considered a man after God's heart. Nathan looks at Acts 13.16-23 and the five characteristics that made David a person that God viewed as someone who mirrored His own heart.

Untested assumptions lead to invalid expectations. Nathan looks at Exodus 20.16 and the destruction within relationships that is caused when we bear false witness against someone in our minds. He also discusses the practical steps to take to ensure that our expectations of people do not end in frustration and disappointment.

All of us are making disciples — whether of ourselves and our unresolved past or of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Nathan looks at Matthew 28:16-20 and discusses how who we believe we are will determine what we believe we can do and how that impacts the kind of disciples we make.

Jesus died for our freedom from sin but he rose from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit for our victory over sin. Nathan compares and contrasts Exodus 14:13-14 with Joshua 1:1-9 and challenges us to not settle for freedom but fight for victory.
