1st Year Bible School Curriculum

Know Your Bible

In this course you will gain an overview of the Bible and will understand the word Covenant in a new light. This exciting study will unlock a whole new meaning to the covenantal relationship and the rights that you have inherited in Christ.

Discipleship

Knowing who we are in Christ is one of the greatest needs of each believer. A negative self-image is often the product of the opinions of other people. Having a clear focus on your new identity in Christ will free you from being enslaved to the opinions of man. You will be set free to love people sacrificially from the wholeness that you enjoy in Christ.

Authority of The Believer

Knowing your authority in Christ is paramount to effective prayer and spiritual warfare. In this course you will learn the difference between the authority and the power we have in Christ. It will release you to a new understanding of the finished work of Calvary and the resurrection power of Christ operating within your spirit. Highlights of this course include an understanding of what truly happened at Calvary when Jesus stripped Satan of the keys of death and Hades before ascending victorious to the right hand of God and the seat of all power and authority. The kingdom of darkness is spiritual and to effectively confront it you need to know how to use the spiritual weapons and authority that Christ has given you.

​

Blood Covenant

The principle of Blood Covenant is threaded throughout the Bible. Blood Covenant between two parties is the closest, most enduring, most solemn and most sacred of all contracts. It cannot be broken! This understanding should give us great security and personal consciousness of our Heavenly Father’s love and commitment to us. As you get to know Him, you will discover that He is not like any earthly father. He loves us so much that He gave Himself for us.

Holy Spirit Seminar

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and He is often the least understood. This course examines the symbols used in Scripture to describe Him and His work in the Church. You will learn to recognize the leading and voice of the Holy Spirit as He reveals God’s will for your life. You will also gain a clear understanding of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking with other tongues from a balanced, biblical viewpoint. This course will open a whole new dimension to your relationship with God and will be invaluable to you in fulfilling your ministry within the Church.

Christian Character

In this series lecturers will locate you as a Christian in your own spiritual growth and development. You will be encouraged and challenged as we examine the different words and characteristics that the Bible uses to describe growing in Christ in the transition through babyhood, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. This will inspire you to grow into the image of Christ and to develop true Christian character.

Prayer School

This course will change your prayer life as you learn to pray accurately with results. Christians often struggle in prayer not understanding that the Bible speaks of different kinds of prayer – the prayer of faith, the prayer of intercession, the prayer of binding and loosing, the prayer of consecration, the prayer of dedication, the prayer of worship, prayer in tongues, etc.… all of which have special purpose and application. This series of lectures will bring a new depth and richness to your relationship with the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit as you pray effectively to the Father in Jesus’ name.

Praise Life

What form of praise and worship is pleasing to God? Should we clap our hands, sing boisterously or even dance before the Lord? The Bible is clear on how we should worship in spirit and truth. In this study we examine the Greek and Hebrew words the Bible uses to describe the different elements of praise and worship and you will be set free from any misconceptions. The most fulfilling occupation you may ever experience is being able to pour out your heart in love, adoration and obedience to God.

Gifts of The Holy Spirit

“Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be Ignorant.” (I Corinthians 12:1). God wants you to know about the nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit and how to co-operate effectively with Him in them. This revelation has enabled many students to function in the vocal, power and revelation Gifts of the Holy Spirit in His ministry to the Church and the world. Study these gifts and desire for God to use you in them and you will learn to flow in the mighty power and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Faith Library

Hebrews 11:6 tells us that “Without faith it is impossible to please God” It is most important that you have a sound understanding of this vital aspect of the Christian life. In this course you will learn the biblical principles of a faith-filled life. You will be inspired and encouraged to greater trust and confidence in God’s ability and sufficiency in every situation. Your heart will thrill with joy as you see these principles at work the lives of the great men and women of the Bible. In the earthly ministry of Jesus men and women trusted Him for the impossible and the miraculous. Faith has been described as the slender nerve that moves the arm of omnipotence. Walk with Jesus into a new frontier of faith as you trust and believe His Word regardless the dictate of circumstances!

Old Testament Survey

The book of Genesis may end up being one of your favourite books of the Bible! It is described as the “seed book” or “seed plot” of the Bible as every doctrine and revelation of scripture can be found here in the form of a seed or a type. This great book is the book of origins and is understandably the one Satan has attacked more than any other in the Bible. You will be blessed beyond measure as you see Jesus Christ on almost every page and how God’s plan and purpose for man is clearly laid from the very beginning. Your understanding will grow as we examine the eternal existence of God and the origin of all that exists and the order of events in creation, including; the universe, earth, life, man, evil, marriage, nations and civil government. We examine the great truths of scripture including: Sovereign Election and Predestination, Effective Calling, Justification by Faith, Sanctification and Glorification by Grace in the lives of the characters of Genesis. Your comprehension of the dominion and cultural mandates will deepen your appreciation of our need to take the way and will of God into all of life. Many students claim this as their favourite course at Bible School.

Angels and Demons

So much literature, Christian and non-Christian, is available on this subject that many find it difficult to clearly understand the spirit world and the forces that are at work in the heavens. However, by learning from scripture about angels, archangels, cherubim’s, seraphim’s, the devil (Satan), demons, principalities and powers you will gain a clear understanding of both angelic and demonic spirit beings. We separate fact from fiction from a biblical viewpoint and examine their work in heaven, on earth, in society, in the Church, in the family and with individuals. This course will arm you against the wiles of Satan and will bring you great comfort as you learn of the mighty hosts of angels that surround those who love and fear the Lord!

Motivational Gifts

While Ephesians speaks of the five-fold ministry gifts (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher) and 1 Corinthians 12 of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, the book of Romans lists the seven motivational gifts. God places one or more of these gifts into each Christian when they become born again. Through this series of teachings and a simple questionnaire you will discover your own motivational gifts – either; exhortation, mercy, prophetic, administration, giving, teaching or serving. Understanding your spiritual motivation will liberate you from frustration and apathy into the joy and fulfillment of finding your place of service in the Body of Christ. Be ready to be motivated for service!

Foundational Doctrines

Hebrews 6 spells out the great foundational doctrines of Christ and His Church – namely, repentance from dead works, faith towards God, baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, eternal judgment and going on to perfection. The study of each of these doctrines is essential to establishing you on a sure foundation of solid biblical truth. Not only will you see these doctrines in the Early Church, in the Book of Acts, but also you will be especially encouraged to see how God has restored these foundations to the Church from the time of the Protestant Reformation.

Biblical Numerics

In Hebrew and Greek each letter of the alphabet possesses a numerical value. Gematria is the calculation of the numerical equivalence of letters, words, names or phrases to gain insight into the interrelationship between words and ideas. This short course brings the use of numbers, in Scripture, into focus and will provide you with a clear understanding of the meaning of each number in terms of it’s significance and application to biblical interpretation. This will assist you in having a balanced understanding of numbers like the mark of the beast (666) and other common numbers in the Bible. It is indeed an exciting study to see how God has communicated truth through the use of numbers in scripture.

Eschatology – End Times

In this course we look at prophecy and end times in the Books of The Revelation, Daniel, the writings of Paul and the words of Jesus. We consider two major schools of interpretation – the Historicist and the Futurist – and we also examine the millennium from the pre-millennial, a-millennial and post-millennial viewpoints. You will gain insight and understanding of this subject as we look at subjects like the Anti-Christ, the False Prophet, the Beast of Revelation 13, the Whore of Babylon, the Rapture, the Second Advent, Daniel’s 7th week and the Bride of Christ. We will examine the spread of the liberty throughout the earth and the advent of the Kingdom through to the grand finale at the end of this age and in the age to come!
