BLOOD COVENANT: The covenant of God to His people has always been sealed with blood. The course of this covenant between God and His people is demonstrated throughout the Word of God.

BOOK OF MATTHEW: This course is based upon the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew, a former despised tax collector, penned the gospel that bears his name. He addressed the deteriorating state of the church and set out to bring correction to disillusioned, wayward and overconfident believers. Matthew left his readers a true meaning of righteousness of the gospel, the standard of discipleship, the reason for the Lord’s delay in returning. This message is applicable for the church in every generation in all lands.

CHRISTIAN LIFE: This class is designed to teach us how we are supposed to live. Paul said that whenever possible, we’re to live our lives at peace; especially within the house of faith. In our days we need to learn the pattern for gracious living more than understanding doctrine, we as Christians must have our power to conform to the cross of Christ. This course provides steps towards the balanced Christian walk. The initiatives in the Christian life are never ours, the opening moves is always God’s; at the dawn of creation - God, at our conception at birth - God, at our rebirth through faith - God, the province that guides our lives every step of the way - God. All begins with Him, all is ever within His love and care. His — the initiative; ours — the response. God plants the seed, we produce the harvest, though in truth He is at work in that too.

EPHESIANS:The Letter to the Ephesians is loaded with such valuable information not just on who we are or our position in Christ, but the responsibilities we have as Christians. Sometimes we take those responsibilities for granted; we just want from God what God is supposed to do for us. but we have a responsibility to God as well. – how we're supposed to live. Ephesians was not written to correct specific errors in the local church, but it was to prevent problems in the church as a whole by encouraging the body of Christ to maturity and that's basically what the book is about – teaching us how to mature in Christ.

It also discusses the difference between spiritual gifts and ministry gifts.

FAITH DYNAMICS: Matthew 17:20b says the following: “For surely I say to you, if you have faith, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there and nothing shall be impossible for you. Nothing will be impossible for you. In this class we will be discussing in detail the dynamics of mountain moving faith and their relationship to the believer. As students of the Word of God, we need to have a clear understanding of how faith works and its Biblical foundation. Faith is not static, faith is dynamic. Faith works as James says. Faith works. We can talk about faith, we can read about faith, we can study faith, but unless faith produces action, it benefits you nothing.

And what’s His masterpiece? The Word, the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. So we will confess this powerful gift that God has given to us. We will look at 18 inquires. To find out what these 18 inquiries are, you must register for this masterpiece class as we delve into the Gospel of John.

We are going to talk about the healing of relationships, healing of spiritual hurts.We talk about the concerns of healing the church. In a world where there is so much sickness and disease, there are areas that God has provided to the Body of Christ and covenants the Lord stands by.

Is it by my fast coordinated steps going with the rhythm of the music in church, or is it something more profound, borne out of knowing who it is we worship and what He requires and identifies as worship. In preparation for this class, I came to the acknowledgement that in the very first reported act of worship in scripture, we find the Lord having respect of one worshiper and one not respect for another.
