Registration for Life in the Word, School for Christian Growth and Family Life Seminars for quarter 1 2025 will begin on 1 December to 15 December.

Quarter 1 2025 begins on 5 January.

Level 2 Courses will be in-person at 9am and 12pm in classrooms across our regional locations.

Romans and Galatians (In-person at regional location, 9am)

Romans and Galatians are the two letters written by Paul to ensure that believers will have the knowledge and legacy of the one true Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Romans, Paul deduced systematically the fact of man’s sinfulness. It is only in Christ and what He did on the Cross that man can receive forgiveness of sin and be reconciled to God. Paul wrote Galatians because of the threat of a dangerous heresy taught by the “Judaizers”, who insisted that Gentiles had to be circumcised before they could become Christians. For Paul, this was a repudiation of the truth that man’s salvation is by faith and not by works of the law. As with all Paul’s letters, the great doctrinal truths taught are then applied to practical Christian living.

Faith and the Supernatural (In-person at regional location, 12pm)

Based on the Book of Acts, the student will be introduced to the work of the Holy Spirit in empowering the apostles and believers in the Early Church to fulfil Christ’s Great Commission. We will see how their faith resulted in supernatural signs and wonders enabling them to overcome internal difficulties and external persecution, so that the proclaiming of the Gospel “to the ends of the earth” could go on unhindered. The lives and ministries of Peter, Stephen (the first Christian martyr), Paul and others will be used to illustrate our study on this subject. With this background, the student will receive a proper context to exercise faith and the supernatural in our present times.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit (YouTube & Zoom)
*Please note that this is a hybrid class. (9 lessons via YT & 3 lessons via Zoom on 26/01, 23/02, 23/03 at 2pm).

Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians when he said “Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant” also applies to us. There is no reason why we should go through our Christian life not understanding the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In this course, a balanced Biblical perspective of the “charismata” – the powerful yet gracious gifts of the Holy Spirit – will be presented.
The following will be covered:
• What the gifts of the Holy Spirit are
• How each gift operates in the church
• Why the gifts are so important and relevant to us today

Apologetics (YouTube & Zoom)
*Please note that this is a hybrid class. (9 lessons via YT & 3 lessons via Zoom on 26/01, 23/02, 23/03 at 2pm).

Apologetics refers to the defence of the Christian faith against arguments that are in opposition to what we believe and stand for. We will study the major tenets of Christianity such as the proof for the existence of God, why we believe the Bible is the Word of God and why we believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Part of this course will be devoted to a study of the problem of pain and suffering in the world. Through knowledge and understanding of these subjects, your faith will be strengthened and you will be equipped to give a proper account of your faith and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pauline Epistles (YouTube)

This course is a survey of the epistles written by the Apostle Paul to the churches he founded and worked with. Several books will be highlighted for analytical and expository study in terms of structure and content. You will learn to identify and study themes in each epistle which deal with the local church.

Practics of Counselling (YouTube)

“Practics of Counselling” builds on the previous courses on “Principles of Counselling” and “Process of Counselling.” More specifically, it will equip the counsellor to deal with the lack of spiritual assurance as well as the struggle with sin which all Christians face. It will empower the counsellor to deal with negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, failure and discouragement. Challenging situations such as persecution, sickness, death and suicide will be covered. Marital counselling and its related aspects such as divorce counselling will also be dealt with in this course. This course is a must for anyone who desires to help individuals and families with the practical problems and issues they face.

Hebrews (YouTube)

This study on Hebrews will focus on the three major themes in the book. First, Jesus is presented as the new and better Deliverer — better than angels, better than Moses, better than Joshua and better than Aaron. Next, Calvary is shown to provide the new and better covenant. It provides a new covenant with better promises. It opens up a better Sanctuary. It is sealed by a better Sacrifice. It achieves far better and enduring results. Lastly, faith is revealed as the true response to these “better” things. You will be challenged to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Pentateuch (YouTube)

The Pentateuch represents the first major section of the Old Testament and the Bible as a whole. It begins with the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of man. It ends with the formation of a new nation with the people of God poised and ready to enter the Promised Land. The student will receive an overview of the place, plan and purpose of the Pentateuch within the overall context of the Old and New Testaments. This course explores the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy and presents the outline of each book, its main message and major themes.

1 Thessalonians (YouTube)

The theme of 1 Thessalonians is how to live our lives in a way that reflects our hope in Christ’s return. This letter reveals how Paul’s anticipation of Christ’s return motivated and compelled him to preach the Gospel throughout the Roman Empire. In this study, you will learn how to align your life with God’s Word and how to pray for spiritual development in the areas of courage, sincerity, truthfulness, selflessness and the fear of God.

Life of Abraham (YouTube)

Abraham is one of the most important characters in the Bible. He is known both as the father of the Jewish people as well as the father of faith for all true believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this study, we will trace the call of God on Abraham and the fulfilment of that call through a life of faith and obedience. Along the way, you will learn valuable lessons both through Abraham’s compromise and failures as well as his acts of faith. Above all, we will see God’s over-ruling power, which brought Abraham to the place where he was able to fulfil God’s covenant promise, so that in him “all the families of the earth shall be blessed”.

Life of Elijah (YouTube)

Elijah was perhaps the greatest of the Old Testament prophets. He was a prophet of incredible faith, a courageous spokesman of his time, a devout man of prayer, an untiring discipler of leaders and an anointed servant of God. In this study, you will examine his life, his character, his calling, his task, his passion and his commitment. You will also discover the principles of anointed and dynamic Christian leadership that are applicable to us today. This course is specially designed for leaders already serving in a ministry function.

Managing Transitions Successfully (YouTube)

Through practical guidance and faith-centered insights, students will learn to embrace change, develop effective coping strategies, and seek God’s wisdom during challenging times. This course provides the tools needed to not only endure but flourish through life’s transitions.

Receiving Your Miracles (YouTube)

God desires to multiply miracles in our lives and delights in working through us to make them happen. This course covers types of miracles we can pray for daily, building expectation for the miraculous, and using faith to activate miracles. With God’s blessings ready to be unlocked by our faith, we’ll learn how to step into a life of abundant miracles. Be prepared to grow in faith and receive greater miracles both for yourself and others.
