The Pentateuch I
Many Christians, new and old, struggle with understanding nuances of the Bible because they do not know the beginning history. Come with us as we explore the first five books of the Bible (The Law, The Torah, or the Pentateuch). We pray that you will be enriched as the first part of our journey takes us to the books of Genesis and Exodus.
The first book is Genesis, the Book of Beginnings. What happened in the beginning? Who were Adam and Eve? Why were we allowed to sin? Who committed the first murder? Did Noah and the Flood really happen? Why is Abraham important? Do you have to be perfect to be used of God? Who is God? How did Israel start? How did Israel get stuck in Egypt? These questions, and so many more, will be answered.
In the second book, Exodus, we examine how the nation of Israel exits Egypt. We explore the persecution of the Jewish people, the calling of Moses as the leader of Israel, the 10 plagues, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the drowning of pharaoh's army. Did you know about the time Heaven and earth met over a dinner between God and man? What does the Law of God tell us about God Himself? These just scratch the surface of what you will learn.

Basic Christianity
"And ye shall known the truth and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
This freedom is basic Christianity to a Christian, it is the liberty, the ability and the right to become the kind of person that God had in mind for you when He created you. Instead of being enslaved by sin, crippled by ignorance and bound by tensions, God has promised us freedom.
This class is intended to help students connect the basic head knowledge of the Christian faith to a heart felt truth and have that freedom of personal success as a Christian.
Many Christians get so enslaved, so crippled and so bound by deep theology or bad theology, because they have either never learnt or have forgotten the glorious basic promises of God, so in this class I hope to disciple more than teach these basic truths, connecting head knowledge with heart knowledge, and then weekly challenging students to be doers of the Word and hearers only.
This is going to involve things like the nature of Biblical Christianity, the characteristics of Biblical Christianity, the application of Biblical Christianity, Sanctification of a Believers life, the daily crucifixion in a believers life, Repentance, Redemption and the application of these in the believers life.
There will also be the challenge of reading your Bible in 90 days, to help teach discipline and to spend time in the word of God getting the big picture, and other challenges like witnessing and giving ones testimony in public and praying for and with individuals.
So I hope you will come, whether your a non Christian, a New Christian or an Old Christian, because you never stop learning and growing until you stand before Jesus Christ on that wonderful day when we shall know all things.

The Life of Christ
Personally I do not believe that there is a more valuable lesson for the Christian to learn than 'The Life of Christ'.
As we discussed in our class on Biblical Christianity, we as Christians do not follow man's ideas, or a denomination, or a church, or a preacher, not even the Bible as a book, but what the Bible tells us about a person, Jesus Christ.
We need to desire a personal relationship with Jesus, not just head knowledge, but a relationship as we would have between husband and wife, a close knowing of that persons heart that can only come through a true relationship, getting to know them deeply and loving them.
In this class we will cover some portraits of Christ as an introduction, the move onto His Pre-existance, then look over the prophecies concerning Christ before we move onto the Christ of obscurity, the ministering Christ, the suffering Christ, the Risen Christ and finally the Glorified and Returning Christ.

Romans
The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the Crown on the Head of the New Testament, it is a book that starts in its first seven chapters to reveal the terrible state of the lost man, wether Gentile or Jew. And the Jewel in the Crown is chapter eight, where Paul finally gives the hope of salvation and the mentions the Holy Spirit for the first time, finally there is a way to God.
The central three chapters, nine to eleven, explain that God has not forgotton His people Israel and that He will keep His promises to them. The last chapters cover Christian Living, where Paul explains what being a Christian should entail.
The Book finally ends in the wonderful chapter sixteen, as Paul closes his Epistle by greeeting, commending, and expressing his love for a whole list of Christians in Rome (some of whom it is very suprising to hear of), and tells of Pheobe who, 'smuggled the glorious epistle to the Romans in the folds of her skirts'.

Eschatology
Eschatology, the Doctrine of the End Times, sounds ominous and complicated doesn't it? However in this class we try to simplify the subject to help us understand the overall concept. First we will look to the Scriptures, to find out what they say concerning the end times, allowing you, and our students to form an opinion based on the scriptures, before we look into the different doctrinal stances held by various theologians. We will look at subjects such as, Amillenialism, Postmillenialism, Premillenialism, the Rapture, the Millenial Reign and the New Heavens and the New Earth. And hopefully I will attempt to teach the subject with an unbiased methodology, thus allowing you and the students to form your own oppinions based on Scripture.

Baptist History
The Christians who have followed the teachings of the Bible have suffered a great deal in their history. A study into the history of the Baptist church is one that is soaked and written in blood. There has not been a lot of historians who have recorded the history of the Baptist Church down through the ages, or at least we have not hear of them or read their works, probably due to the level of persecution the Baptist Churches have faced. Those who did write about our history, those who preached in our churches were martyred for their faith and their works, and often their congregations were destroyed. Most of our history is written by our enemies, therefore you can be sure that it is tainted with hatred and persecution and changed to suit their ends, which satans work of destroying the Gospel message, often times what they call 'heretical' is 'Biblical', and that's coming from an heretical church.

The Old Testament Prophets Survey
The Prophets of the Old Testament are often times ignored by most Christians, being considered as shrouded in mysterious prophecies, visions and dreams. Through a quick survey, and outlining of the books, we see that they are easier to understand than we think, and that Christ is reflected in each one, in types and examples throughout.
