Classes Available to Audit October 7 - December 20, 2024

Bible Hour: Based on the principle of “hiding God’s word” in our heart, the time will be used for an organized process of memorizing scripture, scripture facts and scripture relationships.

Minor Prophets: This will be a textual study of the minor prophet books. Study will be given to the chronological place of the prophet’s work, the historical setting at the time of writing, the message applicable to the people of Israel and the Messianic prophecies penned by the writer.

Hebrews: A textual study highlighting the supremacy of Christ’s priesthood over that of the Aaronic priesthood. The class will also include a discussion of how Christ, the church and her worship fulfill the type/antitype, shadow/image intention of God.

Ezra – Esther: Chronologically, these books belong near the end of the Old Testament. This class will explore some aspects of captivity among the Medes/Persians, the return of Israelites to their homeland and events going on in the secular world that impacted Israel. The Intertestamental period will be studied in its relationship to Jewish history and to the advent of Christ.

Romans: A textual/topical study of the important themes of these books including grace, faith, law, redemption, justification, sanctification, election, predestination, unity, sacrificial living, etc.

Bible Gleanings: This class will read through books of the Bible with considerable discussion of information and truths gleaned from each chapter.

1 Corinthians: A textual/topical study of each letter that will emphasize the methods and importance of keeping unity, of handling issues and conflicts. In the course of pursuing this information, Christ’s doctrine on the issues of denominationalism, sin in the church, marriage, building unity, paying preachers, the Lord’s Supper, worship format, giving and others will be explored.

The Church in Type, Prophecy, & Realization: This class has been placed in the apologetics group because prophecy and fulfillment is one of the strongest proofs of the Bible as God’s word and also of the existence of God. This class will trace the prophecies of the church and the OT types through the Old Testament and gospel accounts and connect these prophecies to their application and fulfillment in the 1st Century.

Preacher’s Work-Prophets & Apostles: The theme of this class will be “It is not about me.” This study will focus on what can be gleaned from scripture concerning the character traits of both the writing and non-writing prophets as well as NT preachers. Emphasis will be on their attitudes, and the difficulties of their labors and how they dealt with adversity. The purpose is to encourage the preacher student concerning his own future adversities and give examples of character traits and attitudes that should be part of his own character and that will keep him preaching the gospel in the midst of difficulties, deprivation or persecution

Auditing Classes

Classes may be audited at no cost except for purchasing the book(s). If an audit student needs a book for a class, they may purchase it from the school. Audit students should register no less than two weeks before class starts. This allows for the school to purchase the needed books and distribute them the first day of class.

Audit students are not required to complete homework assignments, tests, or class projects. However, we encourage you to do so to get the full benefit that can be received.
