Kingdom Life Leadership
God is raising leaders – mighty warriors for his Kingdom. But it all begins with learning how to lead yourself. According to Jesus, a leader is an example to others (Luke 22:25-27). It's not a privilege, exalted position or title. It's all about serving and fighting for others to live free and grow (Galatians). You will train to lead yourself under the Spirit's empowerment in this subject. You will learn about effective time management in light of God's plan for your life. We will also work on a Kingdom Life Blueprint to help give you clarity, meaning and direction. "For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you" (2 Thes. 3:7, NASB).
Glory in the Dark:
A Healthy Perspective of the End Times
Scripture teaches that darkness and terrible sin mark the end times (2 Tim. 3:1-5). However, there's more to the story. Listen to Isaiah 60:2: "See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." You will gain a healthy perspective toward these end times in this subject. We will study God's glory throughout Scripture and how we can live for his glory every day. Jesus wants his glory to shine in the dark – that's why he taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Matt. 6:10, NIV).
REVELATION:
Jesus Unveiled
In Revelation: Jesus Unveiled, we will observe and participate in the grand finale of the Bible. Every three years, we cycle through the Bible, going from Genesis to Revelation. This semester is the climax of our journey. We will explore the book of Revelation and unveil Jesus, the One revealed in its pages. It's easy to go down rabbit holes when reading Revelation. However, we will make clear its meaning and use the rest of Scripture to give us insight into this mysterious book. You will also receive precious treasures from Ephesians and Philippians by engaging in Glen Gerhauser's soon-to-be-released Inspiration Translation. Ephesians and Philippians give us a further apostolic understanding of who we are in Christ and how God has called us to live. Our experience of God's Word will move you to pray with John the Revelator, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus" (Rev. 22:20, NIV).
