Course: How to Live a Happy & Joyful Life, Both Now and for Eternity
-
There’s one thing that every single person desires of necessity, and that is to be happy. Yet, sadly, so few people achieve happiness and joy in this life and certainly many will not enjoy happiness and joy in eternity. Since there is nothing more important than our eternal happiness and the eternal happiness of our loved ones, it seems appropriate to learn how we can be happy, both now and for eternity. In this course Dave Palmer will guide you through the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas as found in the Summa Theologica, about the very nature of happiness and the way in which all people can achieve happiness both here below and forever with God for eternity.

Course: A Tale of Two Cities: Making Sense of the Book of Revelation
-
We will explore the Book of Revelation from a First Century view. We will also explore the view that the primary antagonist of the early Christians is not merely Rome but a more complex reality: Jews and Romans acting in concert against the early Christians. Of course, the primary antagonist is the devil, pictured as a horrible Red Dragon. This Red Dragon gives birth to two beasts, one from the sea, the other from the land. This view also holds that the harlot city is Jerusalem, not Rome. In Chapter 11 the “Great City” is declared to be the city “where the Lord was crucified.” Thus the city destroyed is in fact Jerusalem, corresponding to what historically happened to Jerusalem in 70 AD. We will explore the Book of Revelation as a prophecy of these events that warned Christians of the signs preceding the destruction so they could flee before Jerusalem's doom was sealed. As such it is John’s exposition of Jesus’s Mount Olivet Discourse on the same topic with similar warning signs. This view also places the Book of Revelation in the context of the prophets who warned of and described the first destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC. Many things fall into place as we explore this view.
