Summer 2010 Course/Seminar Registration

NT002 Inductive Study of Mark's Gospel (Advanced)

Miss Ada Lum

This course transformed my life in two major ways. 1) For the first time in 10 years of church life I began hearing God directly from the Bible. 2) It was the major influence in my happy decision to become a Bible teacher. It will teach you to handle the essential tools of contextualizing, observing, interpreting, reflecting and applying God’s Word. It lays the ground-work for all sound Bible preaching, Bible teaching and leading Bible studies. Prospective students will receive a letter detailing requirements for this highly disciplined course.

BST121 Relationships: A Mess Worth Making

Rev. Todd A. Capen

God's agenda for relationships is different than ours. God has a glorious purpose for our relationships: to conform us to the image of Christ. So relationships are a mess worth making! This course will explore how we can receive this agenda and pursue His good purposes. We will learn that what we imagine for our relationships needs to be adjusted to God's plan. This course is based upon the book by Tim Lane and Paul Tripp. Please read the first two chapters of the text before the first class.

Required text: Relationships: A Mess Worth Making by Tim Lane and Paul Tripp. Approx. Cost $13.00. Text may be purchased through Logos Bookstore, 596-8890.

NT027 Revelation: Unfolding the Mystery

Rev. Bradstreet W. Smith

We may have been puzzled or even scared off by the book of Revelation. Who are the 144,000? What do the beasts, the little horns, the two witnesses, Babylon, and other strange figures mean for us in the 21st century? Is Revelation only about the distant future? The book will be presented as a prophecy of the end times, and also as a treasure-house of practical help as we live as Christians today. Workbook included.
