The Bible Academy

I am very excited about our next set of classes beginning Nov 29 (lasts 10 weeks not including the 2 weeks off before Christmas and New Years) on the Gospel of John and Christ and Culture. we will really look at the Gospel of John in a way you have never seen before--I promise or your money back!! The Christ and Culture course will really equip you to understand the nature and importance of worldviews and how to engage with those of various worldviews (postmodernism, Atheism, pluralism, and many other isms!). The Gospel of John will really get us into Who was this Jesus and what was He doing! Why would they crucify a guy who told neat stories and healed everyone? (hmm Maybe because He was a radical and a quiet rebel?!). Here is the registration link: http://cornerstoneweb.org/ministries/the-bible-academy/classes/ Here are the descriptions: Christ and Culture: This course will address the foundational issues of worldviews and apologetics designed to equip us to effectively engage the culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to be prepared to ‘give an answer to everyone’ (1 Pet 3:15) in love. How does the Gospel of Jesus Christ relate to the constantly changing culture? How do we know that the Bible is true and trustworthy? In all, this course will assist the students to be prepared to engage with the common worldviews present in American culture, so that they can more effectively engage the culture as witnesses for Jesus Christ. Gospel of John: Why did John write a fourth Gospel when we already had three others? This amazing Gospel fills in so much of our understanding of Jesus; who He is; what He did; and why it matters to us. An understanding of this Gospel is essential for understanding the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament; Who Jesus is; and what it means for us as Christians today! The Gospel of John presents us with one of the clearest accounts of how Jesus is the truly the fulfillment of the promises of God to His people. Jesus is the true Bread from heaven, the true Light of the World, and the great I Am. The Gospel of John also highlights how Jesus was God in the flesh and how He has brought about the goal of the God to dwell among His people; first in Jesus, then in the giving of the Spirit to the Church, and ultimately to the whole creation in the New Jerusalem. This class will explore these pictures of Jesus as well as the call to discipleship in the Gospel of John.
