Knowing Oriental manners and customs is basic to understanding the Bible. This course deals with subjects such as customs at mealtime, education of youth, trades and professions, customs regarding marriage and property, along with many more.

 

 


Christian Warfare

The Christian life is a warfare, not a picnic. We are called to be soldiers, and this course identifies our enemies, shows how we should fight, and describes the conditions for victory. Authors and prayer warriors E.M. Bounds, J.Vernon McGee, and Roy C. Putnam share Biblical teachings on the Christian's most potent weapon - prayer. If there is one area where all Christians need to improve, it is prayer.

Does the Bible have anything to say about this? This course is for anyone entangled (or about to be) in an economic meltdown. Know this; priceless treasure is within your reach. And with it, liberating joy. Discover a joy more precious than gold. Learn practical and spiritual strategies for you and your friends. Jesus has given us the treasure principle. Unearth it.

 

OLD TESTAMENT

Book of Ruth
J.Vernon McGee leads this study on the Romance of Redemption. Is there any more memorable statement of faith than Ruth's "..thy people shall be my people, and thy God shall be my God."? This woman of faith lost her husband and came out of the idolatrous land of Moab only to be remarried to Boaz. We have much to learn from this ancestor in the line of Jesus our Lord. Redemption is only possible through a Kinsman-Redeemer. The student will gain a fuller appreciation of our Redeemer - Jesus Christ.

Book of Nehemiah

It has been said, "If every Christian would study and follow the inspiring example of Nehemiah, surely we would enjoy a genuine, refreshing revival of faith and morality". The Book of Nehemiah abounds with wisdom for church policies and guidance. Nehemiah's leadership serves as a Biblical primer to anyone aspiring to places of leadership. The student will learn of Biblical social justice, the call to national repentance, and how righteousness exalteth a nation. A 2400 year old lesson that has never been more needed in our nation's history.


Psalm 23
Shepherd Phillip Keller shares his insights into the life and character of sheep--and of the Good Shepherd who loves and cares for them. David, the "Shepherd King" and son of a shepherd, wrote Psalm 23 from humble origins with teaching couched in rural terms. Today's urban city dweller is often unfamiliar with David's physical illustrations which relate spiritual truth in this most beloved Psalm. This course is sure to open the student's understanding of Psalm 23 like never before. Oliver B. Greene and Robert S. Peterson round out the instruction in this much appreciated course.

Proverbs
Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience. This is one of the many profound insights J.Vernon McGee offers in his commentary on the book of Proverbs. During this study you will gain the tools of interpretation needed to dig out the spiritual treasures of God's wisdom found in Proverbs. The diligent student is given a promise from God to understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

 

Minor Prophets
Prosperity, moral laxity, ritualistic worship,  corrupt government, and wide class distinctions a description of current times describe the issues during the times of the Minor Prophets. The lives and messages of these 12 prophets provide some of the Bible's most colorful stories. God used them as his voice to their generation. As each prophet received revelation from God, they were bound by a compelling burden to deliver their message "come what may". Often, their very lives became the message. From being swallowed by a great fish to being told by God to marry a prostitute, to prophesying the coming Messiah, the Antichrist, and the End Times; God spoke through these men.

 

NEW TESTAMENT


Gospel of Mark

J.Vernon McGee is quoted as saying, "There is probably more content in the first chapter of Mark than any other chapter in the Bible." Mark reveals that in spite of Jesus' busy life, He took time to pray. This verse by verse, chapter by chapter exploration spans Mark's recounting of the prophecies of Isaiah and Malachi through John the Baptist ending with the Resurrection of Jesus. Have you studied this Gospel?

 

Christ's Words from the Cross
This unique and rewarding study discusses the seven utterances Christ spoke while on the Cross. Russell Bradley Jones and Warren Wiersbe have researched them in-depth and present them here. Each utterance of Christ is packed with meaning and purpose. These last words were not the cry of a defeated victim, but the proclamation of a triumphant Victor.


 

Revelation
A captivating study of future events as portrayed in the greatest book of prophecy including the rapture, great tribulation, millennium, Great White Throne Judgment, and the new heaven and earth. This course takes a pretribulation and premillennial viewpoint. God promises a special blessing for those who read, hear and treasure the words found in the Book of Revelation. The world has never been closer to these end time events. Are you ready?

 

Colossians
The All-Sufficient Christ by Theodore Epp illuminates the spiritual truths that are packed into the book of Colossians. Often overlooked because it is relatively short, Colossians demonstrates that Christ is all a Believer needs. This course emphasizes not only Biblical doctrine, it refutes false teaching and shows the Christian how to live based on sound doctrine. The student will gain a greater realization of what the Bible means when it says, "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col 1.27).


Book of Philippians
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" is Paul's fully surrendered statement of faith. Theodore Epp and J. Vernon McGee discuss how Christ is preeminent in all things and how we can see Him as our life, our mind, our goal and our strength.

 

 


Seven Churches of Revelation
The last word of our Lord to the church is not the Great Commission. Rather it was “Repent”. This course is a Message on Revival. Indeed, five out of the seven churches were called to repent. Jesus’ admonition of repentance is purposed towards overcoming backsliding. He promises divine rewards for he that overcomes. The minister will find much insight for individual and corporate revival. Today’s church does well to heed the advice given to the Seven Churches of Revelation.


1st & 2nd Thessalonians
In this course, Warren W. Wiersbe shows how a study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians provides both prophetical and practical lessons. The focus in these books is not on what the return of Jesus Christ will mean to us in the future. Rather, it is on how this subject can be a dynamic in our lives and in the ministry of our churches today.

 

 


CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Character Development
Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. said, "Your character is what God knows you to be; your reputation is what men think you are." Abraham Lincoln put it this way: "Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." This dynamic study concentrates on the Biblical attributes, attitudes, and actions of a maturing Christian; and how one may obtain them. One of Patriot's best-loved courses.


Spiritual Power in Teaching
The Holy Spirit is vitally involved in Christian education. His involvement distinguishes Christian teaching from secular teaching. Based on Roy B. Zuck's classic examination of the teacher's "spiritual Teammate" and how to cooperate with Him for successful teaching. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts". Zechariah 4:6

 

 

Christ, the Teacher
In every respect Jesus was the ideal teacher. He presented unique teaching that caused people to recognize something was different. This course delivers an analytical study of teaching techniques used by Jesus. Learn how Jesus used the lecture method, how He captured interest, used illustrations and paradoxes, even asking questions, making commendations and rebukes, that produced disciples.

 


CHURCH MINISTRIES

Spiritual Leadership
Real leaders are in short supply. Churches, people, and groups all search for them. Throughout the Bible God searched for them. The Bible shows us that when God does find a person who is ready to lead, that person is used to the limit. Despite their flaws and shortcomings, they become a spiritual leader. Authors R.A. Torrey and Oswald Sanders expound on obtaining God's power and wisdom as spiritual leaders. Jesus was revolutionary in His teaching on leadership. Do you aspire to the honorable vocation of spiritual leadership? Take this course.

Short-Term Mission Trips

/files/Pics/Bibles and Books/Terry Essex Book Cover.jpg
Mission trips whether good or bad will have a life-long effect. On the positive side, you will be going with the greatest treasure ever given to mankind, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Just imagine you will be commissioned by God to be the foreign ambassador for King Jesus. What an honor! You will be talking about life or death. You will be talking about heaven or hell. You will be talking about the eternal destiny of those that hear the Gospel message.
On the negative side, mission trips are not vacations. Never place yourself in situations where the indigenous host has to act as a mediator to settle your disputes or a baby-sitter to ease your discomfort. You must make a conscious effort to act in a Christ-like manner in uncomfortable situations, at all times, for the duration of the trip. If you can’t act Christ-like then don’t go because you will do more harm than good.

 

CHARACTER STUDIES

Peter, Paul and John the Baptist

Do you suffer from a "thorn in your flesh"? Are you effectively resisting Satan? Do you desire to become a more effective witness for the Lord. Would you like to see positive results in your prayers and praise? Learn from these three Bible heroes who were changed by Jesus' loving touch. They went on to prevail against the powers of darkness and ushered in God's Kingdom. Learn from F.B. Meyer's insights into the lives of three great New Testament men of faith.
