In going before God in prayer, we often emphasize our lack rather than His abundance. We shortchange the holy exercise by offering up our own agenda—a request list of wants with no regard for listening to what God wants. Ironically, we position ourselves with a goal to tell God what He already knows. In this class, we’ll explore the better—what God wants to accomplish in speaking to us. His desire addresses our unrealized need to know the truth. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

Life as the Great Adventure begins when we say yes to God and follow as we hear Him speak. And because God is still speaking, we must keep actively listening. We have a Living Text that tells of many of the faith who did just that and powerful things ensued. In this class, we’ll discuss the importance of having a sure foundation of faith that when God speaks, as active listeners, we will have the proper response. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

"Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” In these words to His disciples, Jesus instructs them to intentionally take time away from the labor of their work. And in our demanding world where there seems to be a never-ending work to be done, Jesus calls us all to participate in a time of refreshment. In this class, we’ll look to the life of Jesus and understand His call for rest. You’ll see rest differently and amid the busyness—even in our spiritual work—be challenged to incorporate healthy spiritual rhythms of rest into your life. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

We were created for fellowship with our Lord. In this fellowship we learn of God’s heart for us and find nourishment for our weary souls. And for the disciple of Christ, the precursor to service for God is spending time with Him. In fact, your effectiveness in the Kingdom of God is directly tied to your fellowship with Him. In this class, we’ll discuss this necessary element for effective preparation for ministry and the wonderful effects that come as a result of being "with Him."

Simply defined, prayer is communicating with God. It isn’t a burdensome responsibility, but a vitally important opportunity of privilege to be able to commune with our Heavenly Father. Many from of old participated in it and many powerful and miraculous things happened. That same opportunity exists for us today. In this class, we’ll review the model for how Jesus taught us to pray and how our ultimate goal should be for His will to be done. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

Being a follower of Jesus will come with certain expectations. Living in this fallen world, life for the disciple of Christ will be inevitably met with conflict. So much so that the world will hate you. Like Jesus, our words and our actions will set us at odds with the world’s culture. But despite this hatred, following Christ requires we stay on mission. In this class, we’ll discover our source of comfort even in the midst of conflict. Be encouraged! You are not alone. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

Can people tell that you serve Jesus? Do others see that you belong to Him? Christ said, “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). In this class, we study how Jesus cares for us selflessly, sacrificially, understandingly, and forgivingly so we too can wear the badge He’s given to distinguish us as His own.

What does it mean to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ? Certainly, it is a relationship that is different from anything else on earth. You’re called to be a change agent for the kingdom of God, His hands and feet in the world. But how do you go about doing that? In this class, we’ll discover the real meaning of what it means to be a disciple—to accept Jesus as Savior, yield to Him as Lord, and reproduce His life in the life of someone else.
