Connecting the core issues of life with the core issues of theology

Core 2 I Loving God Passionately
Many people see or experience religion as a matter of behavior management. But the Bible teaches that the thing God is looking for is not your good behavior but that you would love him passionately above all else. Then, out of a heart of love for God, we live powerfully for God’s glory.
Required: Core 1

Core 3 I Bringing Sexy Back
Our culture is totally confused about masculinity, femininity, sex, sexuality and marriage. Understanding the nature of biblical manhood and womanhood, sex and sexuality, dating, singleness and marriage is crucial if we are going to live a life for the glory of God according to God's design for men and women.

Bible Study Methods
Knowing how to read your Bible and understand what the authors of Scripture mean is a crucial skill that will serve you for a lifetime of knowing God, loving him and living powerfully for his glory. This class is an introduction to the skills of interpretation necessary for reading and understanding Scripture focusing on the narrative literature of Scripture and New Testament epistles.
Meeting Jesus in the Old Testament
No one doubts that Jesus and the authors of the New Testament found references to Him in the Scriptures (Old Testament). But how did they do that? Did they read their beliefs about Jesus back onto a text that seemed to fit? Did they have some “inspired” way of understanding the Scriptures that we don’t have? Or did the authors of the Old Testament actually write about Jesus? This class looks at how the authors of the Old Testament tell the story of the coming King Jesus and of the Gospel of salvation by grace through faith in him.
The Front Side of Sexy
This course expands on the nature of biblical manhood and womanhood covered in Core 3: Brining Sexy Back. It provides biblical and practical foundations for being the kind of man or woman who can start and develop a life-long marriage that’s good for you and glorifying to God. The course also covers the nature and “rules” of dating relationships that honor the other person and the Lord.
Requirement: Core 3
