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

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.

His people and set up His kingdom.

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

Hebrews has impacted your life

promises of a glorious future awaiting faithful
believers when Christ returns

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!
