There is likely no stickier area of pastoral ministry than counseling. Traps abound. Mistakes will be made. The counseling pastor is in great demand today. How can a devoted pastor combine Biblical teaching with the counseling touch? Archibald D. Hart, Gary L. Gulbranson, and Jim Smith combine decades of experience in pastoral counseling to give the student a wealth of godly wisdom. “The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever…”

God’s hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people is evident throughout the Book of Esther, though His name does not appear even once. In this study, J. Vernon McGee helps us understand some of the riches and valuable lessons from this great story.

These five courses survey the content, history and customs of the Old Testament. Many Christians wrongly believe that the Old Testament contains nothing relevant for today. It is almost treated as a separate document that is ignored or treated as a dead history. In truth, the Old Testament points to Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said that He came not to abolish the OT but to fulfill it. Bible students must know the OT to fully understand the New Testament.

The All-Sufficient Christ by Theodore Epp illuminates the spiritual truths that are packed into the book of Colossians. Often overlooked because it is relatively short, Colossians demonstrates that Christ is all a Believer needs. This course refutes false teaching and shows the Christian how to live based on sound doctrine. The student will gain a greater realization of what the Bible means when it says, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col 1.27).

The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with the Father and with the Son in the Godhead. He is not an “it” nor an undefined “spirit just floating out there”. Believers are sealed and indwelt by the Spirit, sanctified with the Spirit, and filled with the Spirit. The student will enjoy this inspiring and balanced look at the attributes and work of the Third Person of the Godhead. Theodore Epp’s research is firmly grounded in Biblical truth.

The Gospels introduce the Savior. The Acts of the Apostles describes the spread of the good news about His salvation

Through a large part of the Mediterranean world of the fi rst century a.d. The letters give details of the blessings of that

Salvation, and Revelation previews the culmination of salvation.

It is called the New Testament (or Covenant) to contrast it with the Old (or “Older”) one. “Testament” and “covenant” both translate the same Greek word (diathēkē). In the title of the Scriptures the meaning “covenant” seems preferable because the

Book constitutes a pact, alliance, or covenant between God and His people.

Both Testaments are inspired by God and therefore profitable for all Christians. But the believer in Christ is often likely to

turn to that part of the Bible that specifically tells of our Lord and His church, and how He wishes His disciples to live.

Why study Greek? The purpose of this course is to show the riches of the Greek New Testament and to provide spiritual food and help to those who study the Bible. This study demonstrates that we can discover richer meaning in Scripture from the Greek language
