Current Series Taught by Dr. Dean

October 20, 2008

There are three series currently being taught at West Houston Bible Church by Dr. Dean:

2004 Revelation: Beginning in March 2009, this series will be moved to Tuesday evening Bible Class at 8:00 p.m.  (see I Kings note below)  . Dr. Dean began this study on Revelation in 2004. It continues into the central prophetic section of the Apocalypse.  Beginning with Revelation 11 the scene shifts to other trends in the first half of the Tribulation leading up to the mid point when the Antichrist desecrates the Temple. Revelation 12-19 provide us with the picture of God's faithfulness to His people Israel as hundreds of thousands of Jews are saved and God brings Israel to national repentance and national redemption. There are numerous lessons in these chapters that relate to the present age and the spiritual life of believers caught in the web of persecution and attack.

2007 1 Kings: Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. This series began in November 2007 on Tuesday evenings and moved to Sunday morning in March, 2009 due to the national crises. Currently we are in the center of the study (1 Kings 17-2 Kings 13). These chapters focus on the ministries of Elijah and Elisha during some of the most unstable and uncertain times in the history of Israel. Within 100 years of the glories of Israel under the reign of Solomon the nation had been ripped in two by civil war and the northern kingdom was dominated by the materialistic and sexually perverse fertility religion of Baal. Into this crisis the immutable word of God was proclaimed by these two magnificent prophets. Though these two men were great among OT believers, they never had the resources every Church Age believer now has through our position in Christ, indwelling and filling of the Holy Spirit, and the completed canon of Scripture. However, through these chapters we can all learn how to face the economic, political, and military crises that have come upon the United States and the world in these dark days. This study will encourage you to stand strong in the Lord and the power of His might in tough times. In this series we are focusing on the faith rest drill, spiritual growth, facing the challenges of pagainism in our own thinking, our cultures, and solving these challenges with the eternal truths of God's Word

Psa. 118:8-9  It is better to trust in the LORD  Than to put confidence in man.  It is better to trust in the LORD  Than to put confidence in princes. 
Prov. 3:26  For the LORD will be your confidence,  And will keep your foot from being caught. 
Prov. 14:26  In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence,  And His children will have a place of refuge.

2005 Hebrews: Thursday evenings at 8:00 p.m. Hebrews is one of the most significant epistles in the New Testament for understanding the present session ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ in His royal High Priesthood, and why that is so vital for the believer to understand for his daily spiritual life and motivation. The heart of the epistle is in chapters 7 through 10. Currently, Dr. Dean is teaching Hebrews 9 (beginning with lesson 123) and the importance of understanding the vital doctrines of the Jewish Tabernacle and Levitical offerings, and what that teaches us about Christ's current High Priestly ministry and its impact on our daily spiritual growth.

The classes on all three of the above current series are live streamed from this website, and are available for downloading.
