Before the cross became a popular Christian symbol, it was the sign of the anchor that the first century Christians scratched on the walls of the catacombs to symbolize hope in the midst of life's stormy situations. It was the author of Hebrews who likened believers' secure hope in Christ to an anchor for the soul. Through this course, students will discover numerous themes buried within this anonymous book; matters such as faith, inheritance, and chastisement. But the one thread that seems to bind them all together is the beautiful and encouraging theme of <i>hope<i>. |

Scripture is the well which Christians can draw the life-giving waters of truth and wisdom. Sadly, though, many Evangelicals treat the Bible as a stagnate pool fit only for ivory tower theologians to drink from. Despite the confusion, intimidation, and boredom we feel at times when we come to Scripture, believers have the responsibility to hide God's wonderful Word in their heart. The goal of this class is that all participants will learn the essential principles for interpreting and applying the Bible correctly and consistently. |

The Greek language is not only beautiful and picturesque, it is vitally important for students of the New Testament. Having a handle on this ancient language can reward its readers with keen insights that are often overlooked in our English translations. This course is intended to give students an introduction to the grammar, syntax and vocabulary of New Testament Greek. |
