God’s Magnificent Goal (1,2)

This course explores the wonder of God’s eternal purpose for mankind and for each of us individually. The student is challenged to focus on the meaning and purpose of their life from God’s perspective.

 

High Value Living (1,2)

This course encourages students to see the true value of their lives. Each of us is unique and has received special qualities, gifting and opportunities in life. Most of us also settle for lower levels of achievement and fulfillment than God actually intends for us. When we receive Christ into our lives our lives take on another whole dimension which anoints and enhances our whole personality.

 

Interpreting Types and Symbols

This course translates the biblical meaning of numbers, types and symbols. God has woven throughout His Books numerous symbols and types, each revealing characteristics and shades of meaning that would be lost to the believer that is not acquainted with the language of the symbol and type.

 

The Temple of Solomon

  This course is the last course of the Tabernacle Series taught in the sophomore year. The study of Solomon’s temple yields rich and precious truths concerning Christ and His Church. Both Christ and the Church are spoken of as being “the temple of God” by the New Testament writers.

 

Heights of Worship

This course focuses on learning to worship God in a way that He loves.  In worship, believers step into God’s presence and experience His glory.  Believers are challenged to worship God in the this present life in the same manner that He is worshipped in heaven.

 

Treasures of the Kingdom (1, 2)

This course stresses the importance for every believer in Christ to understand and experience the truths of the Kingdom of God.  Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6:10) and His message was “The Kingdom of God is at hand”! (Mark 1:15)

 

Our Spiritual Roots

This course examines our spiritual “roots” revealed in the Word of God.  Many today are interested to find out what their natural roots are – where they come from and who their ancestors are.  But our spiritual are even more important.  They affect our whole lives…our faith, our focus, our strength, our victory, and our growth in Christ.  They define who we are and our total purpose for life.

 

The Beatitudes

This course studies the Beatitudes of Jesus and their importance to the church today.  The Beatitudes are one of the most loved portions of scripture in the New Testament.  Each Beatitude is a proverb-like saying packed with meaning and worthy of study.  Each teaches virtues and values in life that will result in blessings and rewards.
