(The) Anointing
This course offers students a brief description of the anointing of the Holy
Spirit in the Old Testament and New Testament. Also, this course teaches
students how to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and the availability of the
anointing on their lives and ministries.
Apologetics
Apologetics is the branch of Christian theology concerned with the application
of rational arguments and historical evidence to the defense of the Christian
faith. Every Christian has the responsibility to be equipped with the knowledge
and practice of apologetics. In this course, we will look at the basics of
Christian apologetics and how Christian theology addresses twelve major areas of
objection, ranging from the problem of evil, the inspiration of the Bible, to
the impact of science and the person of Christ. We will discuss how the
apologetic approach is the key to greater power in witnessing and greater
confidence in faith.
Blood Covenant
This course will cover the significance of blood covenants in human history from
the first
covenant in Genesis to God’s covenant with Abraham and to Christ as the
fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant. We will also explore our position in
Christ under the New Covenant.
Christian Ethics
Different world views on Ethics are investigated, with an emphasis on the
Christian view. Controversial issues such as abortion, capital punishment,
marriage and divorce are discussed. Ethics of the individual believer and of the
Minister are included.
Church History
Church History describes the origin and development of the Christian Church,
from its inception in Bible times to today’s modern religious culture. Early
Biblical patterns will be studied as a model for evangelism, church planting,
church government and discipleship. This scriptural journey will highlight both
the successes and failures of organized Christian churches throughout the ages.
(The) Full Armor of God
This course is a Spiritual Warfare readiness assessment. The students will
complete three phases of assessment: Assessment of the enemy; Assessment of
personal readiness ; Assessment of the arsenal of weapons.
Hebrews
This is a study of two covenants. The differences between the two are life
changing, even life saving. First Century Biblical history helps us understand
the plight of the Jewish people used to a sacrificial covenant system, who
shouted crucify Him, but later wanted to follow Him. Jesus had risen from the
dead and had shown Himself alive and well to these same people. The choice they
would make in receiving the new covenant had eternal consequences. Hebrews gives
us the best understanding of the present and eternal position of Jesus who is
the Christ, the First Born, and only Begotten Son of God, Who called Him a
priest forever after the order of Melchisedek, sealing the New Covenant.
God’s Word and Your Health
*
The Word of God covers all the needs of man. In this course we will be dealing
with health concerns. Miracles and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are always
welcome but are not always in manifestation. The Word of God is available to
all, at all times, for all needs. How to apply the Word is the focus of this
study.
History of Israel
A study of the beginnings of the Jewish nation led by the early patriarchs. The
progression of the Hebrew people is shown through the various stages of their
history from a small number of people to a very strong nation. Their triumphs
and failures are shown as they progress in their walk with God from the time of
Abraham to the twentieth century.
Life of Christ
*
The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of human
civilization, yet many Christians are unskilled in the Scriptures that give
witness to these extraordinary events. Jesus did much more than die for our
sins: He lived to be our perfect example, the pattern after which born-again
believers are to conform their life of faith. Today, believers are immersed in a
world that violently rejects the Christ of the Scriptures; ironically, our
survival as individuals and as a church, as well as the salvation of a lost and
dying world, is vitally dependent upon our being transformed into the image of
Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Ghost. This cannot be accomplished without
a fervent pursuit of the Savior in the Word of God, so we can answer the only
question that has ever mattered: “Who do you say Jesus is?”
Life of David
This is a study in the life of David, the second king of Israel. God’s school of
preparation for leadership is exemplified in David. The course will examine each
stage of training from his call to his established kingdom. Many principles of
character development and faithfulness to God are chronicled in his life, as
well as his weaknesses and failures. Ministry of Helps
*
The Ministry of Helps is a vital and supernatural ministry that carries a
specific anointing given by God for the support of the local church as well as
the other ministry gifts. This course covers all aspects of the Helps Ministry
by meeting the following objectives. Ministry of the Holy Spirit
*
Understanding the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit is essential for living
a victorious Christian life as well as fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.
This course covers such valuable topics as the Holy Trinity, the two-fold work
of the Holy Spirit in the believer, the evidence of the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, the nine fruit and nine gifts of the Spirit, how to be led by the Holy
Spirit and how to live a Spirit-filled life.
Missions Conference
God has a vision for the nations of this world and a course of action to be
taken. He is looking for laborers for His harvest of souls. When the work is
conducted in a foreign land, the laborer is a missionary or someone who crosses
cultural barriers. This course is actually a conference that will introduce
active missionaries and give students an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers regarding their work.
(The) Mystery
The Mystery of Christ is all that God did for us in the entire atonement of the
Lord Jesus Christ and how to walk in the fullness of our redemption in Him!
New Creation Realities
The students will discover the exciting truth about the “new birth”
transformation that takes place in the spirit of man as he comes to know Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. Together, the students will explore what the Bible
really says about man as a “new creation” and unpack spiritual truths about the
“inner man” and the “hidden man of the heart”. Each student will learn who they
are “in Christ” and learn how to make positional truths a practical reality in
everyday life! New Testament Survey
*
The Bible is much more than a book: it is a witness to man’s encounter with the
one true God. Just as the Old Testament is a chronicle of God’s people, Israel,
and their testimony of the Abrahamic covenant, the New Testament is the
chronicle of the new and better covenant of salvation through Jesus Christ – it
is a chronicle of the birth of the church. Study of the New Testament acquaints
the believer with the beginnings of the narrative of the church, providing a
basis of understanding for the church today and our place within it.
Pentateuch
The first five books of the bible, known as the Pentateuch, unfold to the Bible
student the early beginnings of civilization. We see as well the record of the
triumphs and failures of the early patriarchs and the leading of God in the
lives of his chosen people, the Israelites. The Mosaic Law, as these first five
books are called, reveals God’s expectations for his people in the way they are
to live. The course will cover the historical record of God’s chosen people and
their ultimate triumph to arrive in the promised land of Canaan
Personal Evangelism
*
This course is a designed to teach the students why and how we witness. It is a
very hands-on approach to soul winning with a lot of in class role playing and
discussion. Praise Life
*
Praise is looked at in a public and private setting. It is viewed as part of the
worship experience, but also as a separate activity. It is also examined in
relationship to the subjects of faith, righteousness, confession and spiritual
warfare. Principles of Faith
*
Faith is more than just the ability to believe and receive “things” and
“healings” from God. The essence of Faith is in pleasing God. We have been
created for His pleasure.
It is impossible to please our Father without an active effort on our part to
live, walk, talk, and minister to others out of our ever increasing Faith.
Principles of Prayer
*
Prayer is verbal communication with God; it is that sustaining lifeline in our
relationship with God. That’s why Brother Hagin says that “learning how to pray
effectively is one of the most important things a believer can ever do in his
Christian walk.” Why is that? All of the richness of our relationship with God
is accessed only by faith, and prayer is the fundamental expression of faith. In
this course, we will look at what the Bible says about prayer and how we can
apply those lessons to our own prayer life. Prayer is not just a glorious
benefit or privilege; it is a commandment, the primary way we draw closer to
God. Righteousness
Righteousness is an attribute of God. It is expressed in the Old Testament
through covenants. In the New Testament, it finds expression through Jesus
Christ and is given to saints as a gift at the salvation experience. Through
knowledge of these truths and applying them to our lives as Christians, our
relationship with our Lord can reach more intimate status and we will be better
equipped to function as “The Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”.
Tabernacles
There are several “Tabernacles” found in the Bible regarding man’s approach to
fellowship with God. The main focus will be on the Tabernacle of Moses.
Understanding the systems and/or covenants attached to each type of tabernacle
and how they apply to us today will give us a better understanding of our better
covenant.
Teachings of Christ
Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, came to the world He created to be the
Savior of man, the Messiah promised by the Jewish Scriptures. Though some
scholars would subordinate His status and role as Teacher to that of being our
Savior, a closer examination of the Gospel accounts reveals that the former is a
necessary function of the latter. Jesus claimed “the words that I speak unto
you, they are spirit, and they are life” [John 6:63]. These words proclaimed the
kingdom of God come to man, the salvation of the world, the love of God manifest
in the person of His Son. In this course we will look at the words of Jesus –
the doctrines He taught and the parables He used to teach them, to the religious
elite and the common sinner, to the rich and the poor, to the Jew and the
Gentile, to the people of His day and those of ours.
The Book of Ephesians
This course looks at the most concentrated doctrinal epistle that Paul wrote -
to a maturing church in a very pagan and religious city, called the “Light of
Asia”. Various outlines are compared and a detailed approach is used to discover
the unveiling of the “mystery of the church”. We view our position, in Christ,
and our responsibilities as maturing saints.
Wisdom and Guidance
Wisdom is the God-given ability to make the right decision at the right time.
God through His Holy Spirit uses many ways to impart His wisdom and to guide our
lives in the right direction. God also expects us to use the wisdom we have
received to make good decisions. This course will cover what the Bible says
concerning wisdom and guidance, and we will learn to incorporate these concepts
in a practical decision-making process. World Religions
The cultural dialogue of our time is teeming with a variety of different
worldviews and perspectives on life and how to live it, and everybody claims to
have the truth. However, many Christians are not only ignorant in regard to the
belief systems of non-Christians, but also have difficulty articulating their
own faith. In this course, we will establish a “plumb line” for the biblical
worldview of Christianity and then consider several alternative worldviews on
this basis.
