Spiritual Gifts Seminar – conference, seminar, or single message

Writing on the Gifts of the Spirit, the Apostle Paul declared, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware…” (1 Corinthians 12:1, NAS) and also “Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.” (1 Corinthians 14:1, NAS) This seminar is designed to examine the biblical basis for operating in the gifts, or manifestation of the Holy Spirit. This class teaches what the Spiritual Gifts are; what the are not; and how a Bible believing Christian can be used by God to be a dynamic witness through yielding to the power of the Holy Spirit in their life.

Craig is also available for personal prophetic ministry meetings. He also travels with a team for prophetic presbytery.

NetCasters: Ministry & Evangelism through the Internet – conference, seminar, or single message

The opportunities for evangelism and discipleship through the Internet today are staggering. Now is the time for NetCasters around the world to harness the Internet and mobile technology to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth!

7 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice – conference, seminar, or single message

How can you know God’s will? It’s the question of the ages. Through an examination of his book, Seven Keys to Hearing God’s Voice, Dr. Craig von Buseck teaches the principles of God’s guidance and how to know you are following His will. This seminar includes a review of the Scriptures, along with true stories of people who have heard God speaking to them in various ways. In a series of sessions, Craig explains how the Bible makes it clear that the believer in Jesus Christ can hear God’s voice and know His will for their lives.

Every person has wondered at some point in if they are making the right choices in life. Through this class, Dr. von Buseck shows that there is no one way that God leads His people, but there are seven biblical principles – or keys – through which God will communicate to mankind: the Bible; the Holy Spirit speaking directly to our spirit; godly counsel through mature Christian leaders; the peace of God; personal prophecy; confirmation through multiple sources; and circumstances.

The Peter Paul and Mary Principle – conference, seminar, or single message

An understanding of the doctrine of faith is vital for both receiving the blessings of God, and also being used by God to minister to others. The Peter, Paul, and Mary Principle explores three supernatural encounters in the lives of the biblical characters Peter, Paul (Saul), and Mary, and how their faith-filled responses opened the door for God to move dramatically in their lives. The principle that we see in these encounters – and also in our own salvation experience – teaches us the way to receive from God, and walk in the fullness of His call on our lives.

Prophets & Personal Prophecy – conference, seminar or single message

The one gift that is mentioned in every biblical listing of spiritual gifts is prophecy. Christians are encouraged to eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
In the fourth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians he writes that the ministry of the Prophet – along with the Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher – are given to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry until we come into the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ. In other words, in this fallen world, God has given His prophets to us to minister until Christ returns. So we are called to “despise not prophecy, but to test all things and hold on to that which is good.” This course will teach the believer how to give, receive, and test personal prophecy – and how to understand the role of the New Testament prophet.

Spiritual Roots of America – conference, seminar, or single message

America’s Judeo-Christian roots are examined in this dynamic and thought-provoking seminar. From the original vision of Richard Haklyut to establish the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Virginia to the founding of Jamestown, Plymouth, Pennsylvania and other key locations throughout America, Craig weaves together the tapestry of God’s involvement in the establishment of this nation.

Included in this seminar is a review of the covenant established with the planting of the cross on Cape Henry in 1607; God’s dealings with the English in the founding of Jamestown and Plymouth; the faith of the Founding Fathers; the fight for freedom for all prior to the Civil War; God in the North and the South in the Civil War; the symbols of religion and religious freedom in Washington, D.C.; taking the Gospel to the nations from these shores; God and the Civil Rights Movement; and the current struggle to preserve our religious liberties.

The Tabernacle of David – conference, seminar, or single message

At one of the most critical moments in the early Church – when the Judaizers tried to persuade the Apostles to force Gentile believers to keep the law – the Apostle James stood up and quoted from the Prophet Isaiah regarding David’s fallen tent. It was through the restoration of the Tabernacle of David, James proclaimed:

'After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, And I will rebuild its ruins, And I will restore it, 17 In order that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord…' (Acts 15:16-17a, NASB).

It is through the restoration of sincere worship, praise, prayer, and communion with the Lord – as it was in the Tabernacle of David – that our relationship with God is established and nurtured. Jesus taught his followers:

"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” (John 15:7-8, NASB).

It is through this abiding in the Lord – and then through teaching and demonstrating the Gospel of grace and love – that the rest of mankind will desire to seek the Lord. Do you want to see people won to Christ and the Great Commission fulfilled? This seminar on the Tabernacle of David will reveal the “key of David” to unlock the door to the salvation of the nations.

Christian Discipleship: Elisha or Gehazi – What is Your Destiny? – conference, seminar, or single message

Elisha selflessly served Elijah and sought spiritual gifts from the Lord. Gehazi selfishly served Elisha and sought money from man. As a result of Elisha’s servant heart God blessed him with a double portion anointing. As a consequence of seeking money from man instead of favor from God Gehazi was inflicted with leprosy.

Jesus taught his disciples, “…if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? (Luke 16:12, NASB). A basic truth of Christian discipleship is that we must fist show ourselves faithful, like Elisha did, in that which is another’s, and then we will be given our own.

This seminar on Christian discipleship examines discipleship principles taught by Jesus and passed on by the Apostles; the Paul and Timothy relationship; the Elijah, Elisha, Gehazi relationship; and Christian discipleship challenges in today’s world.

The Great Commission: The Great Reminder – conference, seminar, or single message

When God promised Abraham that through him and his seed, all the nations of the earth would be blessed, he was sharing his heart for taking the Gospel to all peoples. So when Jesus gave the Church the Great Commission in Matthew 28, he was actually giving us the Great Reminder.

This seminar is a detailed study of God’s redemptive plan for mankind, and his call to Spiritual Israel to take the Word to the World. Beginning with God’s promise of a Redeemer who would crush the head of the serpent, this series of teachings traces God’s plan for reconciliation with sinful man through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Ruth, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nehemiah, Daniel – culminating in the life and message of the Kingdom of God in Jesus Christ.

On dynamic element of this seminar – the template of God’s gospel strategy found as a roadmap for evangelism in the book of Acts – can be taught as a single message, or as a separate seminar.

God’s call to the Saints to be “ministers of reconciliation” comes alive in this series – igniting a passion in the hearer to see the Great Commission, and the Great Reminder, fulfilled through the ministry of the Church.

The Blood Covenant – conference, seminar, or single message

The writer of Hebrews declares:

“…all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” (Hebrews 9:22b, NASB).

Beginning with the Edenic Covenant, where God gave His delegated authority to man to rule as His Regent in the earth, the Bible reveals the various covenants that God has made with man to establish His will. This seminar examines God’s plan of redemption through the Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Siniatic, Davidic, and the New and Eternal Covenants. The seminar will reveal how the people of Israel were chosen to carry the royal bloodline of the Messiah. It will show how the law was given to show the people of Israel – and all people on earth – our inability to obtain salvation through man’s efforts. It is through the New Covenant, sealed in the shed blood of Jesus, that our salvation was established and is maintained.

Father Joseph Principle: Man of God, Family Man – seminar or single message

Joseph, the husband of Mary, the earthly father of Jesus, is an tremendous example of a man whose heart was steadfast in obedience and love for God – while at the same time, loving and nurturing to his wife and family. In this seminar we examine the role of the man as spiritual head, head of the household, husband, father, and minister of the Gospel.

Barney is Right: The Power of Encouragement – seminar or single message

One of the unsung heroes of the New Testament is Barnabas (Barney). Like the modern day purple dinosaur, Barney’s message was “I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family…” Barnabus is one of the best biblical examples of Christian character, grace and wisdom. Through his direct ministry, Barnabas shepherded the New Testament Church into the form that would allow First Century believers to “turn the world upside down.” His far reaching encouragement and mentorship helped to shape the ministries of Paul, Peter and the Gospel writer John Mark. By studying the mercy-filled life of Barnabas, we can learn much about how Christian leaders are to direct the Church today – and how the encouragement of one person can make a difference in the lives of countless people for eternity.

Timeline of Faith, Grace, & Love – seminar or single message

In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve walked with God in the cool of the day in perfect love and grace. After the fall, however, man’s relationship with God was broken by sin. Yet throughout the Bible we see where God was calling mankind back to an intimate relationship with Him by grace through faith.

Abraham believed God (faith) and it was counted to him as righteousness (by grace). David wanted God’s presence near him so he brought out the Ark of the Covenant from the Tabernacle of Moses (by faith) and brought it into the Tabernacle of David (by grace). The Apostle Paul declares that we are saved by grace through faith, and not of our own works.

God lives on the timeline of faith, grace and love that is connected from the Garden of Eden through the Covenant of Abraham and from the cross of Jesus Christ to His return as King of kings and Lord of lords. Life in the Spirit is life lived on this timeline of grace and love – and it is available to every believer through faith.

Escape the Matrix – single message

Using symbolism and plot from the famous movie trilogy, this message describes the blindness of those who are unsaved and how the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to our need for a Savior.

Great Writers, Great Reporters: Using Research to Make Your Writing Great

Ernest Hemingway once said that “art begins with the first re-write.” Effective writing begins with “pre-writing”, then goes on to “writing” and is perfected by “re-writing.” In all of these stages, great writers know that they must do the research necessary to thoroughly know their subject matter. After a writer does their “due diligence” in the research and planning phase they position themselves for the “writing” and then the “re-writing” to take their project from the ordinary to the extraordinary. does their “due diligence” in the research and planning phase they position themselves for the “writing” and then the “re-writing” to take their project from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
