Upcoming Courses

Music and Singing in 
Online Prayer Services

The Apostle Paul instructs the church to “address one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart" (Ephesians 5:19). In this workshop, we will explore ways to incorporate music and singing into online prayer services. We will review best practices in proctoring worship videos, spotlighting solo musicians, conducting group singing, and leading liturgical readings.

Prayer in the
History of Revival

Whenever revival has occurred throughout history, fervent prayer has always been at the heart of the movement. This course will survey key revivals from the First Great Awakening in the 1730’s to the present, exploring the role of prayer in each chapter of this intriguing and compelling story. In addition, this course will survey the theological foundation of prayer in revival. Following this course, participants will have deeper insight into how prayer infuses revival history and will be inspired to join in the work that God is doing today in global prayer.

The Ultimate Purpose of the Biblical Sacrifices

Much of the biblical text describes and discusses the sacrificial system of the nation of Israel, but this topic is often clouded in mystery and misunderstanding for modern followers of Jesus. This course explores the ultimate purpose of the biblical sacrifices and their deep theological significance for Christians today. Students will examine both the Old and New Testament contexts of each sacrifice. Emphasis is placed on how these ancient offerings point to spiritual truths fulfilled in Christ and lived out in the believer's life.

Romans:
Walking the Way with Paul

From children memorizing the Romans Road to theologians discussing the deep things of God, Paul’s epistle to the Romans has had a profound impact on Christianity. Frederik Godet, a French expositor of the Bible, wrote, “Spiritual revival in the church will be connected to a deeper understanding of this book . . . The book of Romans is the cathedral of the Christian faith.” Throughout this course, we will walk through the book of Romans together, discussing what Paul wrote and what it means for us today.
