"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD - Isaiah 55:8

This six-lesson video course was recorded during an ICM Live Web-Class.

Describing this course, Dr. Self writes:

"This will be a very unique live web course. As I was praying in church a few weeks ago I heard the Lord speak to me. He put into my spirit a new ICM course. This is to be unlike anything we have ever done before. It is called Messages from God. The entire six week course is going to be exactly that. The Lord said He would give to me prophetically what the content for each lesson will be. My clear impression was that it is going to be personal messages from the Holy Spirit to whoever joins or listens to the course. He put into my heart that each student that participates in this course will be there because of a divine appointment. I believe that the students that register will be the students that the Lord wants to speak to personally."

"I could never arrange something like this but Jesus certainly can. During this six week course each evening of class there will be personal messages from the Lord for various students. I know this sound unusual but that is why I know it must be for the Lord. Each lesson will only be what the Lord wants to speak. I am very excited to hear what the Lord is going to say. This will be a bold action for ICM but we serve a very bold God." - Dr. Ray Self

Category: Theology & Ministry
VID - Video Course
Credit Hours: 3hrs

This six-lesson course will give you clarity and help you understand the most important message the world has ever known.

All things in life actuality center on the Gospel. The perfect finished work of Jesus has more impact on our lives and our world than we can ever fully understand. This course will explore why the Gospel is truly the good news. Dr. Ray Self will explain how the blessings of the Gospel can be lived and experience every day of your life. He will discuss the purity of the Gospel and why nothing can be added to it.

There has been much perversion of this topic taught in recent times. This course will look at the truth that only a thorough and complete understanding of the scripture can reveal. This is a series of lessons that are critical for all believers. We all need more revelation of the Gospel. It is the heart of Christianity and is the reason that we exist.

VID - Humanity's Final Destination

Course Number: TH 2063-30
VID - Humanity's Final Destination, ICM Course
Category: Theology & Ministry
VID - Video Course
Credit Hours: 3hrs

This is a six week course that covers events that are to take place within God’s plan for Mankind. The Bible speaks more of the end time or final events than is written of the time that Jesus spent here on earth that was the ultimate part of the God’s plan of the redemption of mankind.

This course takes us through prophecy concerning the end time scenario with subjects of Daniel’s 70 weeks, Ecclesiology, Israelology, millennial, Rapture, Antichrist and many more along the way. The timing and understanding of this subject has proven to be very controversial. We will look at what the Bible has to say about this time that is yet to come. As the late Dr. Chuck Missler used to say; “we will not play any favorites and will cover enough to offend everyone”. So come along on the journey as we learn together, God’s Mystery!

This course is taught by Dr. Forrest VanSandt whose calling and passion is to teach Eschatology and God’s redemption plan for all of mankind within eternity. Taught under Dr. Chuck Missler during the first half of his education and finished at ICM under Dr. Ray Self, Dr. VanSandt received his Doctor of Theology degree in September of 2013. Dr.’s Forrest and Lisa VanSandt are the Liberty Campus Directors at Liberty Church, Arab, Al.
