Examples of Changing Currents:

Embryonic Stem Cell Research looks at what the Bible says about this controversial topic. By focusing on key Scripture passages concerning the blessings of having children, God's work in procreation, and His prohibition against murder, the study clearly affirms that "life begins at conception" and advocates for responsible scientific and medical research that does not destroy human life.

Luther: The Man and the Movie looks at the controversial reformer's life as portrayed in the 2003 film, Luther, starring Joseph Fiennes. Scriptural, discussion-based questions will help participants appreciate Luther's confession of Christ and encourage them to "take a stand" for the true, biblical faith. 

Are You Passionate about "The Passion"? explores the groundbreaking film that sparked worldwide controversy and debate. Scriptural, thought-provoking questions and analysis of the movie will encourage participants to probe more deeply Jesus' unconditional love for us.
