The book of Revelation is an enigmatic book of the Bible for many people. It is filled with end-time prophecy cloaked in symbolism and allusions.  Many Christians find it hard to understand and avoid studying it altogether.  It’s beauty, supreme importance, and distinctive relevance is sadly missed by many.  Come journey with Dr. Betters as he builds the context of this amazing book from the prophecies of the Old Testament along with the major themes of the Bible to unveil the mysteries and reveal the culmination of God’s redemptive plan.  You just may be tempted to think of Revelation as a book of new beginnings as much as one of the end times.

Helping Others Go Through What We Went Through with Kathe Wunnenberg Edit 1

Many people have experienced betrayal, someone violating your trust perhaps by lying, cheating, some kind of abuse, putting their own interests ahead of yours when they promised otherwise. Betrayal affects every part of our hearts, often in ways we don’t understand at first. Some hurts we carry with us to the day we die, they are so deep and seem impossible to resolve. In this conversation with Sharon Betters, Wendy Alsup shares the impact of betrayal from her own life, not only through an unwanted divorce but also in her church life. But Wendy doesn’t leave us in the much of betrayal. Instead, she speaks frankly about the power of forgiveness. Wendy’s view of forgiveness is not stereotypical. Pulling examples from her own life, Wendy talks about the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and how understanding ambiguous loss can help us as we grieve the losses of betrayal. Whether you are still gasping for air as the impact of betrayal hits you hard or you are carrying the wounds of broken relationships from years ago, this conversation will help guide you through the minefields of grief and loss.

I Forgive You A Conversation With Wendy Alsup

Pastor Bob Allums, husband and father, learned at thirty-two years of age that he faced the battle of his life against throat and mouth cancer. The possibility that the disease and treatment would destroy his ability to speak, to preach and teach was real. Before the diagnosis, Bob struggled with overwhelming depression, a darkness whose roots he could not identify. In this rich conversation with Chuck Betters, Bob steps back into those frightening days and describes how that period transformed him and helped make him into the joyful man he is today. This far reaching conversation touches on the heart of suffering and will touch your heart with the help and hope of Jesus.

Is your church too big to fail?  In final part of this message, we learn that  the church at Ephesus was about 35 years old, had a faithful pastor, a strong legacy, was organized by the great Apostle Paul.  They had a vibrant history of a church living among a heathen culture with relevance, integrity. The church was filled with risk-taking disciples, a labor force that had paid a steep personal cost to labor in this Vanity Fair city. They were persistent, never wavering and never compromising the Gospel.  Jesus commends the church for all of these great works.  But, then He shocks them with these words: “But I have this against you - that you have abandoned the love you had at first. “(v.4)
There was a virus growing – an incipient disease others could not see from the external appearances of this awesome church.  Something essential to her future was missing and it eventually ended with this church becoming obsolete.  Listen carefully and see if there are any parallels for us today.

Have you ever seen a cow in a huge green field munching on grass – but rather than chewing the grass in the field, he pushes his head under a fence to get the grass on the other side?  Did you wonder if the grass on the other side of the fence was really sweeter, really worth risking his neck to obtain?  Perhaps you, like that cow, are considering the grass on the other side of the fence in your own life.  You are tempted to betray your wife or husband, to taste the fruit of a relationship that God says will create havoc and destruction. How does such betrayal reflect the betrayal of God’s love?  In this three-part sermon series, Dr. Betters shines a spotlight on the illusion of the greener grass of adultery.  Throughout the series we not only see how adultery doesn’t start in a bed but rather in a conversation.  We feel the deep anguish of a broken trust and realize it is a picture of how we break God’s trust when we betray His love with our own disobedience.

The Valley of Baca is a study of Psalm 84. Psalm 84  is a song written by one simply known as the Psalmist to the music director of the sons of Korah. The sons and daughters of Korah were children born of those who rebelled against Moses in the dessert. What a picture of God’s grace and mercy that he would set apart these children of rebellion to eventually become mediators of the church. To find favor with God, we must totally submit to him and put our complete faith in his son Jesus Christ. The Valley of Baca – The Place of Tears.

Imagine that you learn your beloved son is plotting your downfall, and plans to take over everything you have earned and built in your own life. David must deal with this truth as the consequences of his sinful choices play out before his very eyes. David’s life continues to unravel as his son, Absalom plots to unseat his father as King. Along this pathway littered with betrayal, David becomes a truly broken man, not paralyzed by his own guilt and inaction, but instead broken by the very hand of God.
