Course Description: As the title informs, herein students will survey the Old Testament—both its worlds and words. As for its “worlds,” this course will give special attention to biblical history, in the process of which we will consider various social pressures, which had a direct effect on Israel and Judah, and factored into the various prophetic exhortations given by the prophets, which were then recorded and preserved in the Old Testament corpus. As for the Old Testament’s “words,” students will become better acquainted with the Pentateuch, historical literature, wisdom literature, the writings of the prophets, some of their Christological significance and more. By means of the above, students should become better acquainted with the Hebrew Bible and, as a result, be better able to minister the life-giving Word by virtue of their having been formally and systematically introduced to it.

MIN-113

Prayer and Intercession

Instructor: Terry Kinard

Format: Video

Course Description: The privilege of Prayer based on the principles of the Word of God is the foundation of our spiritual life. The Bible tells us “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6) “for he that cometh to him must believe…” The Prayer of Faith brings the reality of the spirit realm into our everyday experience. The disciples asked Jesus, “What must we do to work the works of God?” and Jesus replied, “This is the work of God, that you believe…” (John 6:29). By Prayer and the Word of God we grow in knowledge and revelation of Him (Ephesians 1:18). And we are kept from temptation as we “watch and pray.” The Word alone without Prayer puffs up with knowledge and pride, and leads to dogmatic contention, not being balanced by love. Prayer without the foundation of the Word of God leads to fanaticism and false doctrine (Mark 7:7) and produces Christians who are blown about by erroneous winds of mysticism, which have no merit in light of the true mind and will of God.

1st and 2nd Peter: Hope Beyond Failure

Instructor: Susan Bozarth

Format: Video

Course Description: I Peter addresses Christian living in the midst of persecution. His exhortations of faithful living provide the backdrop for the reason of the hope that is within Christians; we have a heavenly inheritance. We will see how developing patience during unjust suffering equips the believer to become a redeeming force in the world in spite of suffering. We’ll talk about what it means to ‘suffer well.’ and of course this powerful verse “…always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear…” They won’t ask, if they don’t see a demonstration of hope in our lives…regardless of circumstances. In essence, your hope and my hope is a catalyst or opportunity for evangelism! II Peter is a letter that gives instruction and exhortation as Peter is nearing the end of his life. Whereas I Peter encourages Christians to maintain their hope in the midst of persecution, II Peter warns Christians against false teachers within their own fellowship who would try to lead them away from Christ and into apostasy. Fidelity to the apostolic teaching is the main theme because heretical teachers are within and without the church. The antidote or remedy against encroaching error is to continue to grow steadfast in the knowledge of the Lord.

BIB-245

Prison Epistles

Instructor: Terry Kinard

Format: Audio

Course Description: The Prison Epistles will explore the four books written by Paul while in prison in Rome: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. According to the dating of the Apostle Paul’s second and third missionary journeys, he was probably arrested in Jerusalem about A.D. 58. Festus kept Paul imprisoned in Jerusalem for two years (Acts 24:27) before he appealed to Caesar and was placed on a ship for Rome. The voyage was interrupted by a shipwreck, so Paul reached Rome as a prisoner and began writing from there approximately 61-62A.D. Acts 28:30-31 tells us Paul was imprisoned in Rome “two whole years.” The Prison Epistles were written during this time.

BIB-247

Corinthian Letters

Instructor: Terry Kinard

Format: Audio

Course Description: The Apostle Paul wrote as a pastor to the saints in Corinth. The church was a focal point for trade, the capital of the province of Achaia, and home of the Roman proconsul. Corinth was not only a famous city of culture and trade; it was a city of sin, known for its problems and shortcomings. In Corinth, we get a realistic view of the early church, and situations that prevail in the church today. Paul dealt head-on with heresies and practices of vulgarity and immorality, yet with fatherly affection and instruction for this church that he founded during an 18-month stay while on his second missionary journey. I Corinthians 1:10 sums up Paul’s purpose for his letter, “…that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” The Corinthian letters give practical instructions for dealing with sin and misconduct in the church, as well as valuable teaching for successful leadership and spiritual ministry through the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Church. The theme could be “success in life and ministry.” The study of The Corinthian letters is foundational for every believer, and must-have instruction for church and ministry leaders. The messages of Paul to the Corinthians will make you a better Christian, a more powerful witness, and a well-equipped minister of the Gospel.

Spiritual Warfare

Instructor: Mike Massa

Format: Video

Course Description: The class will investigate the Word of God to discover and examine the prevalent warfare theme throughout the Scriptures. We will investigate the lives of those the Lord used to battle the realms of darkness. Intercession is as much an act of obedience as it is a prayer time. Warfare is not to be entered into with a silly or sloppy mindset and calls for solid foundations in the ways of the Lord. At the same time, we are not to be intimidated about the adversary and his schemes in light of Jesus’ victory over him at the cross. We will look at the entire Word of God for these warfare priorities and discover some chapters that have been ignored as powerful tools for spiritual war at strategic and national levels.

In the body of Christ, however, there are some misunderstandings about the church. Some believe that it is only a global ethereal church, but the Bible uses the word “church” in reference to a local gathering of believers in a community more than any other way. A single believer is not the church. A gathering of believers is the church. We will discuss the need for churches, big and small.

Biblical Economics and Financial Management

Instructor: Gerald Chester

Format: Video

Course Description: Every day we make financial decisions. Financial activities are so common that we rarely even think about the philosophy, values, and principles we use to make these decisions. We buy, sell, trade, barter, save, invest, give, and pay taxes routinely with little thought about how the system should work and the key principles that should govern it. So how did God design the system to work? How should we think about economic matters? And what are the key principles we should follow? The objective of this course is to provide biblical answers to these questions. In this training you will learn how to think about financial decisions based on the Bible. The course will present a biblical perspective on economics, such as, the distinction between temporal wealth and true wealth. In addition, you will be challenged with key principles that will enable you to make financial decisions from God’s perspective. For example, you will learn God’s priorities for the use of money, what God will bless, and why the wicked sometimes seem to prosper. You will be challenged to consider that a correct view of economics and financial management is an integral part of walking with God. The course is an opportunity to enrich your understanding of God and to enable you to think more biblically about economic and financial matters.
