HEB101 Introduction to Biblical Hebrew
Ms. Yamit McCormick
Have you ever wanted to study the Scriptures in the original Hebrew, desired to recite the ancient Hebrew prayers and blessings, or wished you could translate the Hebrew text while doing a Bible study? This friendly course provides a step-by-step approach that will enable you to understand the Hebraic heart and mindset, give you a better understanding of the Messiah Jesus/ Yeshua, and will lead you towards a unique intimacy with God’s language, land, and people.
Required Textbook: Zola’s Introduction to Hebrew (available only at: www.levitt.com) Approximate Cost: $35
Administrative Fee: $154.00 Mondays and Thursdays: 6:30 – 8:30 pm January 5 - April 30, 2012 Kawaiaha’o Church, Pauahi Room 957 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu * Bring-A-Friend Offer not applicable to this class.
NT003 Luke: New Hope, New Joy (Part 2)
Miss Ada Lum
A friend, knowing some students in Luke, Part 1, exclaimed, “What!? They’re old Christians. Don’t they know those things?” She didn’t identify “those things”. Most people know bits and pieces about Jesus, but haven’t yet connected the dots in his dynamic life and mission. Our aim is to discover what and how Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man, taught and exemplified about what it means to be human, so that we learn to be more human—like Jesus. Newcomers are welcome if they have carefully read Luke 1-9, and are more curious about Jesus Christ.
Administrative Fee: $45.00 Mondays: 7:00 – 9:00 pm January 16 - March 5, 2012 Makiki Christian Church, Older Adults Room 829 Pensacola Street, Honolulu

BTS103 Teach the Bible like Jesus
Miss Ada Lum
Jesus-as-teacher and his teaching activities (in great detail) are recorded twice as much as Jesus-as- preacher and his preaching activities (in little detail). Our neglect in following Jesus’ example as a teacher of God’s Word is a big reason many churches are anemic. To Sunday school teachers, group leaders, wannabes: You can improve by imitating seven of his teaching characteristics—authoritative, likeable, centered, concrete, concise, conversational, and consistent.

Is it possible to “pray continually” and still excel in a demanding job, care for your children, pay your bills, and keep an active social life?

NT042 Aliens in a Foreign Land: Peter’s Epistles
Dr. Patrick Zukeran
Peter states that our citizenship is in heaven. How should heaven’s citizens live in a fallen world? What kind of response should we expect? How should we respond to trials and suffering? Peter addresses these issues in his first epistle.
In a world surrounded by fallen angels, false teachers, and critics, how should a wise believer live? In his second epistle, Peter exhorts believers to live faithfully in difficult times.
