The Gospel of John stands apart from the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) with its unique approach to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Over the course of twelve weeks, we will explore the rich theology, historical context, and spiritual insights found within John’s Gospel, offering you a transformative experience that will enhance your faith and biblical knowledge.

The practices of Christian worship are not just things that we offer to God; they are things that God offers to us. We are made to worship, and if we do not worship God, we will worship lesser things. This course will explore what our worship practices teach us about the Christian life and how those practices transform our hearts to live as the called people of God. This course will also look at the history of these practices. Why do we do the things we do in worship? What is the purpose of worship? Why is worship important for the Christian life? By exploring these questions, we will learn how we are never more alive than when we are worshiping our God.

This course is about the theological foundations and practical implications of sanctification with a particular emphasis on entire sanctification.

Is there any hope for restoration of our wills and affections? How can we walk in holiness of heart and mind through the spiritual wars raging around us? We will explore these questions and more as we learn, pray, and seek the restoration of our hearts.
