In this area of study we will explore not only the difference between cults and the occult, but also the fine line between cults and the church because sometimes the lines get a little bit blurry.

CRISIS IN CHRISTIAN MUSIC: Today there is a CRISIS IN CHRISTIAN MUSIC. Secular, pagan, and even occult musical styles have crept into the church, all dressed up with new Christian lyrics.

We delve into the hierarchy of angels distinguishing between ordinary Angels and Archangels such as Michael and Gabriel who hold a unique position and responsibility in the heavenly realm. We’re going to emphasize and look for the belief in the active and ongoing ministry of angels in the lives of believers today andl assess how Angels are succeeding in providing protection, guidance and deliverance in accordance with God's will.

Additionally, the role of the Holy Spirit in discerning Angelic activity and the importance of aligning our understanding of the scripture will be key points of focus. Throughout the course we encourage a balanced and biblically ground view of Angels.

KINGDOM STEWARDSHIP: We are going to be looking very deeply into the concept of the kingdom and stewardship.

We are going to understand  the duality of kingdom citizenship and our heavenly citizenship. We are going to learn the importance of how to navigate both of those realms. We are part of this earth, but we really are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven - the Kingdom of God, and we’re going to learn what the difference is. Is there a difference? We’re going to clarify that in our course.

As disciples of Christ, we are to honor our charge and duty to live intentional and relevant lives to glorify the King and the Kingdom of God. After we look at Kingdom purpose, Kingdom values, Kingdom perspective, Kingdom priority, and Kingdom posture, then we are going to go into the foundations of kingdom stewardship. What does that mean? What is the mindset of a steward? What is the motivation of a steward? What’s the scope of Kingdom Stewardship? What’s the sphere of Kingdom Stewardship? The structures and strategy, and then the approach to Kingcom Stewardship, the primacy of it, the prospective and profession of it, then the benefit of Kingdom Stewardship - the reward.

LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD: A comprehensive study of the service and ministry of this priesthood in relation to Israel and God.

PRAISE & WORSHIP:  The scripture says, “Praise the Lord you His people. I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.” It goes on to say, “Come let us worship and bow down and kneel before the Lord  God our maker.” So our praise and worship class asks the question, what constitutes genuine praise and worship? 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. In this class, we will discuss the Biblical concept of praise and worship, learn how to integrate worship with our prayer and you’re going to write your own new song unto the Lord. We will study the life and worship of the Lord Jesus Himself.

Classes

ACTS

The Book of Acts gives us the beginning and establishment of the Christian Church. We talk about the Holy Spirit and how the audience reacted to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We will touch on how the churches respond today about being filled with the Holy Spirit. We introduce the messengers and non-personality and roles in acts that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ , focusing on the ministry of Peter, Paul, Barnabas and the stoning of Stephen.

CHRISTIAN LIVING

Many Christians who have been saved for years struggle with the knowledge of who they are. They mimic other Christians right or wrong, but they're mimicking them because that's their idea of what holiness is or that's their idea of what Christianity is. We need to know who we are and whose we are. The bottom line is we need to know who this being is that we serve and the only way we're going to be able to serve Him and serve Him the way He deserves to be served, is to learn of Him. The Word of God uses common things of this earth such and prolific internal truths about who we are as Christians. Christ is known as a shepherd - shepherd of the flock. He is known as the Good Shepherd, the great shepherd, and the chief shepherd. Look at all three aspects and see how that affects our Christian walk from three different perspectives. It is my endeavor to teach students what a Christian is. If you learn what a Christian is, you'll know how to work, you'll know how to cooperate, you'll know how to live, you'll know how to dress right. By dress I'm not talking about general attire, I'm talking about your spiritual attire. You'll know how to put on the armor of God. You're going to know how to use the right words when you're ministering salvation to somebody else, you’ll learn how to live so that it pleases God because our whole makeup is all about pleasing God.

CHURCH HISTORY: In this course we will survey the history of the church to see how the church that started as a little stone and is growing to fill the whole earth. It will be a survey of the development of Christianity, focusing on the key movement and the outstanding Christian leaders, revolutionary breakthrough, and critical culture and points in the history of the church, We will discuss the various periods which the church has past and we will see surprising that the more adversity the church faced, the stronger it grew.

DOCTRINE OF HELL

EPHESIANS: Ephesians offers general instruction in the truths of God’s redemptive work in Christ; the unity of the church among diverse peoples; and proper conduct in the church, the home, and the world.

GENERAL EPISTLES: The General Epistles are named for their author instead of the church or person to whom they were written. Most of the General Epistles are written to all Christians. The second Epistle of John may have been written to an unnamed lady and the Third Epistle of John was written to his friend Gaius. Epistle of James,  First Epistle of Peter, Second Epistle of Peter, First Epistle of John, Second Epistle of John, Third Epistle of John, Epistle of Jude.

GOSPEL OF JOHN: The Fourth Gospel describes the mystery of the identity of Jesus. The Gospel According to John develops a Christology—an explanation of Christ’s nature and origin—while leaving out much of the familiar material that runs through the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH:   A concise look at the development of Christianity, focusing on the key movements and outstanding Christian leaders, revolutionary breakthroughs, and crucial turning points in the history of the Church.

INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDY: The inductive method is an investigative way of studying Scripture that can be used by both new and seasoned students alike. It’s a powerful tool for those who want to learn how to study Scripture well. When applied properly, the inductive method will provide a better overall understanding of a passage—what it says, what it meant to its original audience, and what it means today.

INTER-TESTAMENT HISTORY: The intertestamental period is the period of time between the events of the protocanonical books and the New Testament. Traditionally, it is considered to cover roughly four hundred years, spanning the ministry of Malachi (c. 420 BC) to the appearance of John the Baptist in the early 1st century AD.

LIFE & MINISTRY OF THE APOSTLE PAUL: The course will be based upon his missionary journey, we will adventure into the man Paul, we will see him in the Book of Acts, as a Pharisee, at the Sanhedrin, to be converted on the Damascus Road. He is arrested by the Lord Jesus Christ, as Saul whose kicking against the pricks. This same Paul is now the chosen vessel, raised up to be the apostle to the nation.

LIFE & MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST: We endeavor to better understand who He is today, but His role in eternity-past and HIs provision for our eternal future. Have you ever considered His heart, His pain, and unwavering commitment to complete His assignment to save a world  that refuses to acknowledge Him? Along with Jesus’ knowledge, character, parables, miracles, and two ordinances given to believers; and His teachings, we will examine His encounters with the Jewish religious leaders and those life changing gentile meetings. Why was it necessary for Jesus to be baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit? What lies behind the brutality of His trial and death. What happened on the cross? What happened in the tomb? What did He preach when He went up to heaven, and importantly, what does the resurrection forecast? Answers to these questions and so much more, will be discussed in the course of this study. 

LIVES OF FAMOUS EVANGELISTS:  This class is one that is historical in nature and is designed for those who are interested in exploring the lives of the men and women, dynamically empowered by the Holy Spirit that God used to fuel the fires of revival across the nation in the 19th and 20th Centuries. As we take a biographical look at 12 pioneer leaders of the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, we will discover that the impact of their work and ministries can still be felt in the church today. We will take a look at God’s generals, both their successes and failures to learn from them. Some of the powerful figures that we will study are Rosa Seymour, an African-American son of a former slave, who started the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles. We will look at Aimee Semple McPherson who founded the Four Square Church of the nation’s first radio station, Smith Wigglesworth who was a plumber who read no books accept the Bible, and Kathryn Kuhlman, the Evangelist,  whose miracle-filled meetings bought millions of skeptics to faith in Jesus Christ.

MEN IN THE BIBLE

NEW TESTAMENT INTRODUCTION

PASTORAL EPISTLES: The pastoral epistles are a group of three books of the canonical New Testament: the First Epistle to Timothy (1 Timothy) the Second Epistle to Timothy (2 Timothy), and the Epistle to Titus. They are presented as letters from Paul the Apostle to Timothy and to Titus. They are generally discussed as a group (sometimes with the addition of the Epistle to Philemon) and are given the title pastoral because they are addressed to individuals with pastoral oversight of churches and discuss issues of Christian living, doctrine and leadership.

PRISON EPISTLES: The prison epistles—Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon—are so named because they were written by the apostle Paul during one of his incarcerations. While the prison epistles reflect Paul’s earthly position as a prisoner of Rome, he makes it clear that his captivity was first and foremost to Christ.

SYNOPTIC GOSPELS:  An analysis of the Gospels written by Matthew, Mark, and Luke with emphasis upon the similarities and the differences in their structure, subject matter, and presentation of Christ.

THE ANCIENT JEWISH WEDDING & THE RAPTURE:   Christ’s first miracle on earth was at a wedding (John 2:1-10), and His last event in heaven is at a wedding supper (Revelation 19:7).  The ancient Jewish wedding reveals the exact patterns for the future Rapture of the church.  God does not deal with the Gentiles and the Jewish nation at the same time.  The Bride of Christ must be removed before God can restore His full relationship with His bride Israel. 

THE BOOK OF ACTS: This course concentrates on this unique, foundational historical Book, focusing upon its transitional place in the progress of revelation; its relation to the Epistles; and the role of the Holy Spirit in the missionary expansion of the church.

THE MIRACLES THAT JESUS PERFORMED: Study of the miracles Jesus performed in the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles and the Apocalypse.

THE EPISTLE OF JAMES: The Epistle of James  is great to help us Christians grow up. In case you are not aware of this, not everybody who grows old, grows up. There is a vast difference between age and maturity. One of the most practical books in the New Testament, James, is the how to book of the Christian life. In a few words, James explains the responsibilities of a Christian while giving instructions and exhortation to all Christians who are experiencing problems as we all are. We all have crosses to bear, situations that sometimes put us in a tailspin. As if the trials themselves are not bad enough, James points out the dangers that come with them. He warns of the pitfalls of failing to put our trust in God and not enduring. James speaks of prejudice, improper speech, judging one another, leaving God out of our plans, and even bitterness. A short letter of only 5 chapters, James is full of invaluable wisdom, understanding and lessons to help us as we navigate the vicissitudes of life. What does James really mean when he tells us to count it all joy when all hell seems to be breaking loose around us? Really James, it sounds easy, it sounds simple, but not realistic, then what is he really saying? Let’s find out. Let’s grow up together.

THE PARABLES: Careful attention is given to the historical and cultural setting of each story, offering practical insight into Jesus' words.

THE PENTATEUCH: (The Five Books of Moses) A survey of the major events recorded by Moses in the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

UNFOLDING THE PARABLES: Careful attention is given to the historical and cultural setting of each story, offering practical insight into Jesus' words.

URBAN AND FOREIGN MISSIONS

POETIC BOOKS: An analytical approach to Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.

REVELATION

As we sit here tonight the state of California is burning and it's on fire. Many people have left their homes and just before we started this orientation, I was listening to the news saying that many of their hydrants don't work. It’s the signs of the last days. Jesus said when you see these things to look up. Wars and rumors of wars. When we study the Book of Revelation, we’ll begin to understand what end times are about and where the second coming of Christ comes in.

TABERNACLE OF DAVID: This tabernacle is an Old Testament picture which foreshadowed worship based on faith and grace. The study involves a comparison of the structure ceremony, and order of service instituted with this Tabernacle as it differs from the Tabernacle of Moses.

TEN COMMANDMENTS: An in-depth study of the Law of Moses and its relevance today.

THE BOOK OF JOB: It tells the story of a man who loses everything, his wealth, his family, his health and wrestles with the question, Why?

WORSHIP & PRAISE: This course is designed to establish a connection between the Old and New Testaments of the biblical pattern of God's requirements of man to approach Him. Considered are the patterns of the Tabernacle of Moses, the Levitical system and Sacrificial system.

1ST & 2ND SAMUEL: First and Second Samuel deal with a transitional period in the history of ancient Israel. There is a transition of leadership first from the priest Eli to the judge Samuel, then from the judge Samuel to the king Saul, and then from Saul to David. Samuel thus is the link between the judgeship and the kingship in Israel. He is the prophet God uses to anoint both Saul and David.

Classes

AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER: A study of the authority all believers possess when in spiritual warfare. 

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.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: This course defines and discusses the fruit of the Spirit and urges you to permit the Holy Spirit to transform your character to become progressively more like Christ.

HERMENEUTICS: Hermeneutics is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially the interpretation of biblical texts, wisdom literature, and philosophical texts.

PASTORAL MINISTRY: The term pastoral ministry relates to shepherds and their role caring for sheep. The Bible does not explicitly define the role of a pastor but associates it with teaching. Pastoral ministry involves shepherding the flock.

PRINCIPLES & POWER OF PRAYER: To show the vital contribution of prayer in developing the whole person mentally, physically, and spiritually. A study is made of both Old and New Testament prayer life, with special emphasis on the prayer life of Jesus and the early church.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN: In this course we will inquire into this masterpiece of the Gospel of John. It is not one of the synoptic gospels, it stands on its own. We will search the scriptures from the Old Testament and the New Testament to gain a greater personal discovery of the preeminence of Jesus as it is recorded in John’s gospel. In this class we might say listen, we’re searching the scripture to recognize that missing piece in that intricate puzzle--in that book and once it’s discovered, suddenly the Bible from the beginning to the end unveil God’s masterpiece. 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.

THE HEALING COVENANT: As believers we must understand and operate in the ministry of healing. We must understand there are different kinds of healing, both physical, internal and inner healings. 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. We will look at the purpose of sickness, the need for healing, and the process of healing. This class gives an unusual and unique perspective that will challenge all that want to be part of this life-changing course.

THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD: The course presents studies in the priesthood of the believer. It is intended to help the believer to “come boldly to the throne.” The course examines the functions, responsibilities and blessings of being a priest in the body of Christ.

INTRODUCTION TO CHARISMATIC THEORY: This course will focus on the prime interest in the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the  church that has produced some serious conflicts in doctrinal beliefs. The Holy Spirit is the active agent in the earth realm today. Charisma is one of the most important subjects of our day. We must realize that without the move of the Holy Spirit, the church is rendered hopeless. We will deal with the introduction of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are going to take a quick journey to Azusa Street because Azusa Street is where everything seemed to come to life. It just flared up. The course is going to include how to use the gifts because we have so many people that are gifted in the House of God, and have no clue as to how to operate in the gift, so we are going to look at that as well.
