biblicaloverview
Biblical Overview

This course serves as an introduction to biblical theology. We all live out of a story that provides a context for understanding the meaning of history, a story that gives shape and direction to our lives. In this course, our students come to understand that the Bible offers such a story: it is God’s story, the true story of the world. They also learn to articulate a comprehensive biblical worldview by systematically developing the most wide-ranging categories of the Bible’s storyline: creation, sin, and redemption. Emphasis is also given to the believer’s own place within the biblical story and the centrality of the mission.

Course Information:

  • Time: 10 weeks (1 Term)
  • Lectures: 12 sessions of 25-30 minutes each

theologyofthekingdom
Theology of The Kingdom

This course introduces the student to the theology of the kingdom of God in scripture. Taking recent (latter 20th Century onwards) Jesus Research as its starting point, it covers the growing expectation of the kingdom in Old Testament literature and then examines the coming of the kingdom in the life and ministry of Jesus, particularly in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. From there it defines the kingdom as enacted, inaugurated eschatology. Having established that definition it then explores the kingdom in the Christian life, particularly through Pauline theology.

It also examines the mandate for kingdom ministry today as modeled on the ministry of Jesus. A final section deals with various implications of kingdom theology, in terms of the church, dispensationalism, cessationism, healing, and the place of Israel. It equips our students with a thorough knowledge of the biblical theology of the kingdom of God and how this theology is positioned in relation to other theologies, which it either redefines or opposes.

demothekingdom
Demonstrating The Kingdom

This course focuses on the coming of the kingdom by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, through the distribution and impartation of charismatic gifts, particularly those gifts that enable mission and evangelism. Its purpose is to build faith and expectation in our students, disciples of Jesus, to receive the empowering of the Spirit for witness, leading to a radical obedience to his commission, through revelatory/prophetic gifts, gifts of healing and deliverance, all combining to effect power evangelism. A key step in the equipping process is to lay a strong foundation in Christian identity.

Course Information:

  • Time: 10 weeks
  • Lectures: 31 sessions of 10-20 minutes each
  • Literature: Bible; Demonstrating the Kingdom by D. Morphew; Numerous Video & Audio Stories, Discussions, and Demonstrations; Bible Studies; 25 lecture PowerPoints

jesusappreticeship
Jesus & Apprenticeship in the Gospels

This course focuses on “Christian spirituality” and precisely, Jesus’ understanding of it portrayed through the Gospels as “becoming his lifelong apprentice” (disciple). It is a storied, theological, and practical course for spiritual growth. Its aim is to help our students to understand and practice spirituality as Jesus did: to be captivated by him and his spirituality, to walk in his way and become like him, following him in his kingdom. Why Jesus? Because we believe he was both human and divine: he modeled what it means to be truly human in God’s image, and he was God incarnate, revealing God to us. Jesus is indeed The Way to God.

Course Information:

  • Time: 10 weeks
  • Lectures: 8 sessions of 20-25 minutes each with accompanying PowerPoints
  • Spiritual Disciplines/Practices of Engagement Lectures: 8 sessions of 10 minutes each

Faith & Reason

This course serves as an introduction to the important discipline of Christian apologetics. Taking the Bible as our starting point, and Jesus as our model, students will grasp the importance of this mandate to engage skeptical people and the culture with the Gospel of Jesus. Once we have established its biblical basis, and considered the various barriers and worldviews we encounter in the process, students will consider the apologetic task through six major questions of our day that act as significant barriers to belief in Jesus. For example, “Did Jesus really rise from the dead?” or “How could a loving God allow so much suffering?” The aim is not to be exhaustive, but to lay the foundations for an apologetic of the heart and mind that in part fulfills Christ’s Great Commission. Emphasis is given to instilling confidence in the believer and to how Christians may engage in conversation with, explain their faith to, and answer the questions of not-yet believers.

The Historical Jesus
The Historical Jesus

This course will help Christians to see Jesus more clearly. This is of great significance because “The way Christians see Jesus determines the way they see God, salvation, the Christian life, mission and society. Therefore, any major rediscovery of Jesus and the kingdom has huge consequences for us. It becomes the unifying story of the whole of scripture, which if believed and received becomes the controlling narrative that shapes our entire worldview, giving meaning to all of reality and the whole of life.” – Derek Morphew.

biblicalinterpretation
Biblical Interpretation

This course seeks to equip students to read the scriptures intelligently with the fundamental hermeneutical skills, or rules of interpretation that have become standard operating procedures within the historic, evangelical faith. A large part of the course deals with interpreting biblical texts in context, within the many layers of context that apply. It also deals with Rabbinical approaches to the Old Testament current within Second Temple Judaism and how Jesus was influenced by this, but also had a unique way of reading the Old Testament. It shows how his hermeneutic then influenced the writers of the New Testament. It also explores charismatic approaches to the text, and balances them with historic, ecumenical truth. Lastly, it will take the students a step further by empowering them to use their hermeneutical skills, together with excellent online tools/resources, to interpret a variety of scriptural genres.

Course Information:

  • Time: 10 weeks
  • Lectures: 14 sessions of 25-30 minutes each
  • Literature: Bible; Biblical Interpretation 101: Historic Rules for Reading the Bible by D. Morphew and How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, 3rd ed. by G. Fee & D. Stuart; 14 lecture PowerPoints; Additional Articles; Online and Downloadable Study Guide

Paul & Transformation of the Gospels

This is the second course which focuses on “Christian spirituality” and covers Paul the Apostle and his understanding of progressive transformation toward Christlikeness. Paul’s focus in being a “Christ-follower” is our personal union with Jesus, in what He has done for us in salvation, and in our responsive participation in that new creation reality. Therefore, the primary aim of this course is to develop in our students a practical working knowledge of what this means – how to live out one’s new nature in Christ in thought, word, and deed. The course also explores aspects of how Spirituality has developed in Christian tradition over the ages.

Course Information:

  • Time: 10 weeks
  • Lectures: 8 sessions of 20-25 minutes each with accompanying Power Points

Biblical Leadership

We have become bankrupt in the spirituality of leadership, in the true spirit and character of authentic leadership. That is why things are largely the way they are in our world. This course addresses this and other issues in leadership, for the sake of our own integrity as leaders, and for the sake of our world. It is centred in Kingdom leadership and seeks to equip students with the key spiritual dynamic of the motivation and mode of leadership – based on the teachings and models of biblical leadership (character-based, selfless-serving, and effective leadership). The final section of this course will focus on the functional aspects of leadership – skill, style, and process. Significant emphasis is given to contextually applying the knowledge presented in this course.
