1st Corinthians Many of the problems the church in Corinth

experienced would have been immediately

obvious the casual attendee. The church was

divided; people behaved in selfish, unloving

ways; some denied fundamental doctrines; the

church tolerated gross immorality; worship

services were disorderly. The church leadership

seemed to have abdicated responsibility. The

Corinthian believers had lost sight of the focus

of the gospel: love God and love one another.

In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul counsels the church to let love

and godliness have first place in their assemblies. As we study this

course on 1 Corinthians, we will apply his teaching and counsel to our

own lives and the church today.

Through your study of this course, we pray that you will:

» Understand the core issues that led to disunity in the early

Corinthian church

» Explain Paul’s resolutions to issues he encountered and see his

purpose in writing the letter

» Be able to identify the difference in wisdom of man and wisdom

of God and how it applies to discernment of false teachings

» Develop an understanding of “freedom in

Christ” and the importance of exercising

those freedoms with love

» Recognize that the struggles that took place

in ancient Corinth also take place in many

churches today

» Obtain practical ways to apply Paul’s

teachings to your own life and in your

church today

Christian Life Making the decision to become a Christian

by making Jesus Christ your Savior begins an

adventure that will continue for the rest of

your life and for all eternity. While there may

be no obvious difference in appearance

between a Christian and a non-Christian, the

life a Christian lives differs from the life of an

unbeliever in some significant ways. At the

heart of those differences is one’s relationship

with Jesus Christ.

The Christian life is defined neither by a set of religious disciplines nor

by an academic collection of doctrines. The Christian life is a growing

relationship with Christ that is lived out day by day. This course explores

that growing love relationship with Jesus and its impact on every aspect

of life, as well as ways to deepen it.

Psalms In almost every culture, poetry is used to

convey the depths of the soul. In that honest

expression of the soul, the Psalms escort us

into the courts of worship. For the psalmist,

this meant pouring out both wild, adoring

praise and heart-wrenching laments, in which

he told God exactly how he felt and how much

he longed for God’s intervention. The psalmist

knew the tension of being human. As dark and

painful as these moments might be, he

ultimately realized that God was faithful, righteous, loyal, and good in

dealing with him. Then his heart turned to songs of praise.

Not only do the Psalms engage our emotions, but they also present our

minds with theological truths as we view the character of God in action.

Only when we come to see for ourselves that God is good in all His

dealings with us are we finally able to recapture our love relationship

with Him.

Through your study of this course, we pray that you will:

» Gain insight and skills for reading and interpreting the

Psalms for yourself

» Grasp figures of speech and traits of Hebrew poetry

» More fully understand the character of God through the

psalmist’s poetic expressions and depictions of

covenant loyalty

» Learn to enter into true worship of the Lord God, with a

heart full of praise for the One who loves you so much!

Here in the Psalms we approach the discovery of what intimate

fellowship with the living God really means and what it is to

truly worship Him. This course will help you rise above your emotions to

lay hold of great theological truths that will strengthen your life. When

we see God for who He truly is, and then in response give Him all our

praise and adoration, we are at last experiencing the highest purpose

for which we were created.

Revelation Revelation teaches about future events. So,

why should we study it? Isn’t there

disagreement among interpreters about what

passages mean? If the language is symbolic,

how can we interpret it accurately? If symbols

must be taken figuratively, how do we know

what is meant? How can we come to any

agreement about the message of this

enigmatic book?

The answer is that God expects us to

understand this message: “The one who has an ear had better hear

what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev 2:7). He expects us to obey it

and He rewards our obedience. Both the rewards and judgments are

severe―there are consequences―and He expects us to understand.

We also study Revelation to receive the blessing for doing so: “Blessed

is the one who reads the words of this prophecy aloud, and blessed are

those who hear and obey the things written in it, because the time is

near!” (Rev 1:3).

This course is a verse by verse interactive study of the book of

Revelation. Through your study of this course, we pray that you will

develop a deeper understanding of:

» The chronology of the events in Revelation

» The basis of the worship of God in heaven

» The basis of and justification for the judgments

» The response of earth dwellers to the judgments

» The meaning of the symbols used

» The religious and commercial system called Babylon

» The second coming of Christ

» The millennial reign of Christ in New Jerusalem

The course is filled with questions to help you dig deep into

God’s Word and to increase your understanding of what

Jesus told John about the end times.

The Epistle to the Hebrews What is the role of Christ as our King-Priest

today? In this course on the majestic epistle to

the Hebrews, you will see that Jesus did not

come to His kingly throne without preparation.

Jesus “learned obedience through the things he

suffered” and was “perfected” for His roles as

Priest and King (Heb 5:8-9) so that now He is

“crowned with glory and honor” (Heb 2:9).

As you study Hebrews, you will gain a new

appreciation for what it means to your own life

and Christian growth to have Jesus as the King-Priest in the present

Church Age—what He has already accomplished for you and how He

can come to your aid in times of need. You will also be greatly enriched

in your expectations of what Christ will bring when He returns to gather

His people and set up His kingdom.

Through your study of this course, we pray that you will:

» Find deeper understanding of Hebrews’ key issues regarding

date, authorship, background, setting, and purpose

» Construct an outline of Hebrews that reflects its development

and major themes

» Describe the author’s basic approach to understanding and

applying the Old Testament

» Defend interpretive decisions of the key terms and crucial

theological passages in the epistle

» State clearly and precisely how the message of

Hebrews has impacted your life

» Base the joy in your Christian walk on the certain

promises of a glorious future awaiting faithful

believers when Christ returns

In the epistle to the Hebrews, you will learn more about

the present-day ministry of Jesus than in any other book of

the Bible. As believers, we hold to this promise: King Jesus

will return one day and reign forever and ever!
