THROUGH THE WILDERNESS
This tape series is one that every believer should have. It explains why we as Christians go through the things that we do.

Find out how to endure and exit the Wilderness as an overcoming Christian. A Must Hear!

Will you choose to walk in love, or will you allow fear to dictate to you a cowardly response? This tape lesson brings you face to face with a fact that you may not want to know.

WOMEN'S FELLOWSHIP "HOW DO YOU WEAR YOUR HAT?"
The role of a woman is to be in submission, whether it be to her husband if she is married, to her pastor if she is a widow, or to her father if she is still under his authority. All women fall into one of these categories; they are never independent agents. Which category are you in as a woman? How are you faring in your submission to the one in authority over you? If you are not in submission, you are not in obedience to the Word of God; you resist the order that God has ordained. Get ready to examine your own heart.

THE BOOK OF PROVERBS
How do you live a successful life as a Christian in a world that operates contrary to the Kingdom of God?  This lesson tells you how.  Taken one verse at a time, this tape series discusses the keys to obtaining good success in life as well as warns of pitfalls to avoid that will cause damage to the life of you and your family.  After listening to this tape series, you will have gained knowledge that will bring understanding whereby you can practice wisdom in your life. 

THE COVENANT
From the beginning, God's desire has been to have fellowship with mankind.  From Adam to Jesus, God wove a thread of relationship whereby we could be His people and He could be our God.  This thread has changed over time and dispensations, but it has successfully bound God to man since the beginning of mankind.    In this lesson, you will learn how this thread, the Covenant, began, changed, and functions even until now.  It's characteristics illustrate God unchanging desire to have fellowship with mankind and the lengths that He went to in order to make it possible.

MANHOOD
When it is lacking, it will lead to societal decay.    When it is exercised, it will exhibit God's designed order in which the universe is supposed to function.  It is under tremendous societal attack today, but this lesson renews our knowledge to how men should comporte themselves, what their role is as rulers of the earth, and what their role is as head of their households.  This lesson needs to be shouted from the rooftops all over the world.  Discover in this lesson who men truly are and what will make them successful in this life.  If these principles are applied, your lives will truly begin to show forth the glory of God.

NO OTHER NAME
No other name in the universe throughout history is more widely known, adored, hated, and elevated than the name of Jesus.  What is it about His name that invokes such a wide variety of emotional responses in the world?  How did He get His name, what does it signify, and what does it mean for us to bear His Name?

POOR IN SPIRIT
How does a believer go from being sold-out, on-fire for God, full of love and the Word, to being mediocre and even uninterested in the Lord?  This condition occurs when people allow the cares and riches of the world to choke-out the desire and seeking after God.  Don't fall victim to this condition as it will cause you to reject the Lord Jesus and deny your faith.  Learn the key to avoiding this state of being; learn to remain poor in spirit.

UNJUST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
There is a very real, wicked financial system alive in the world today designed by the god of this age, Lucifer, that operates in all manner of unrighteousness and injustice.
