• Sacraments in Scripture – Clear biblical evidence for each of the seven sacraments and why they’re more than “mere symbols.”
• Covenant Theology 101 – Why understanding the Bible through the lens of covenant—not just “dispensations” or isolated stories—makes the big picture of salvation history click into place.
• From Adam to Jesus – The six major covenants in Scripture and how each builds upon the other in God’s divine plan.
• The Mass in the Bible – How the Eucharist fulfills the Old Testament sacrifices and why the Book of Revelation is essentially a vision of heavenly liturgy.
• Common Objections Answered – How to respond when someone says Catholic doctrines “aren’t in the Bible.”
