Bible

Study of the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Abraham Study – (Genesis 12-23) Isaac and Jacob – (Genesis 24-36) The study of the Life of Abraham offers an excellent beginning for Bible study. The student will learn Biblical principles and truths that will challenge them in their own spiritual walk. In the life of Abraham, we will discover God’s choosing and the revelation of His redemptive plan for mankind. The student will learn how man can become righteous and how God is always faithful to His Word. In the character studies of Isaac, Jacob, and Esau, the student will learn how God renews His covenant promise to Abraham through the lives of his descendants. The student will discover how God’s redemptive plan can be traced throughout the lives of these men and how two nations evolved as a result. The student will be challenged to evaluate their relationship with God by comparing them with the choices these men made.

Study of Romans Students will observe ad interpret a letter written by the apostle Paul to the Church of Rome, a church that had not yet been established. This foundational book of the New Testament examines the character of God, the fall of man, justification by faith in Jesus Christ, and the standard of living expected for His church.

First semester : The Book of Joshua Moses’ words to the next leader of Israel were “Be strong and courageous,” and Joshua held to those words throughout this book of victory (a period of almost thirty years) for a nation who was coming out of a time of “wandering away from God.” Students will examine the characteristics of a faithful leader who brings Israel through countless victories, as well as the one time in the book where he fails. Second semester: The Book of Judges Unlike the Book of Joshua, Judges records the downward spiral of a nation who pulls away from their covenant with God for almost four hundred years. Students will examine the corruption that dwells in a camp where God was once enthroned, but has now been replaced by man.
