The purpose of the School of the Bible is to assist you in the disciplined study of Scriptural truth and to encourage you as you express truth through artistic creativity — learning truth and translating truth into creative expression.

In an age characterized by lies, it’s important to know the truth. To a generation encompassed in  darkness, it is crucial that we express truth with the rhythms and colors and passions of grace, dancing past defenses, planting seeds of light in the deepest places of the heart.

Our purpose is not simply to acquire information but to grow in the grace and knowledge and likeness of Jesus so that we may walk as children of light in a dark world, shining forth the glory of Jesus.


SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - FOUNDATIONS IN FAITH

Join us as we examine the foundational truths of our faith: What does it mean to be redeemed? What is the Bible? Does God have a purpose for my life and can I discover it? What is God like? Who is Jesus and what did He do? As we focus our hearts and minds on essential truth, the God of all truth progressively conforms us to His heart and mind. This is, after all, the goal of discipleship — to become like our Lord.

THE PERSON AND MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Because the Holy Spirit is God and shares in all attributes of Deity, He is therefore infinite and can pour Himself into a million vessels performing a million ministries and not be diminished.


Yet for all His presence and activity, we tend to have only a vague concept of God the Holy Spirit. Our objective in this course is to examine the person and ministry of the Third Person of the Trinity so that we may know Him better and fellowship with Him more truly.





SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - STUDY OF GENESIS

Genesis means beginnings. Join us as we walk through the beginning of creation, the Fall of man and the beginning of the great redemption story. Watch as the story is played out through the lives of people like us — Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Leah and Rachel and their sons, climaxing with the story of Joseph who suffered that others could live. All the great themes of the Bible are present here in this Book of Beginnings.

SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - BOOK OF HOSEA

Study of the book of Hosea

Israel knew the Lord as Mighty Creator, Fearsome Judge, Awesome Law Giver. But Hosea brought a new revelation — the Bridegroom God who betrothed Israel to Himself and called the nation His covenant partner. This gives a new interpretation to every book of the Bible, all the way to the final chapter of the final book. We see now the purpose of God in history — to pursue, awaken, redeem and betroth to Himself a Bride for His Son. And we see the end point of history — a  Bride made ready. 

Hosea is not merely a prophet to ancient Israel — he has a message for each of us. This is our story too.

SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH

The Book of Nehemiah

Nehemiah rebuilt the ruined city of Jerusalem but there is way more to the book than urban renewal. His name means Yahweh’s Comforter and He is a picture of the One whom Jesus promised for the restoring of all who come to Him in faith. Join us as we track the rebuilding of a city and the rebuilding of a soul.



SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - THE BOOK OF DANIEL

God gave Daniel prophetic insight not only for the people of his day but stretching forward to the end of time. Join us as we walk verse by verse through the amazing vision of this great man. 


SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW

Descended from Abraham through David, Israel’s long awaited Messiah was born. Matthew tracks His birth, ministry, atoning death, resurrection and ascension, carefully proving that this Jesus is, indeed, the Expected One. But He is our Messiah too and as we walk verse by verse through the story, we see Him more clearly and know Him more truly.


SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS

Ephesus was the flagship church in Asia Minor and pastored with great devotion for three years by the Apostle Paul. Later, from his prison in Rome, he wrote to his beloved brothers and sisters, emphasizing the union of the risen Christ to His church, the riches of His grace lavished upon us and the surpassing greatness of His power in us in the midst of the warfare of our times. Containing some of the deepest and most profound revelations in all of Scripture, we will be abundantly blessed as we trace Paul’s letter verse by verse.


SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE - STUDY OF REVELATION

The word which we translate “revelation” is, in the New Testament language, apokalupsis, which means to uncover, unveil, disclose, reveal.  Whereas the Gospels unveil Jesus in His birth, ministry, death, resurrection and ascension to heaven, the Revelation reveals Him in the glory of heaven, in the glory of His second coming and in His everlasting glory.  This book also provides the unveiling of truth about God’s church and to the church.  Finally, we see the unveiling of the purpose of history — God preparing a holy Bride for His Son and we see the end point of history — God presenting His Son with a Bride made ready for eternal communion with the Bridegroom Messiah.
