Review
Bercot makes each century understand.
Great course
Some hard things to hear but definitely worth hearing and learning from.
Powerful
It was powerful to see all the prophecy of Jesus in the Old Testament.
Excellent and Thorough
I was convinced by Scripture to begin covering my head about 10 years ago. Since then I have read numerous articles and books and listened to a great number of sermons. I have gained a lot of insight from many of those resources, but none treated the topic as thoroughly or as passionately as brother Kuruvilla has. I very much appreciate HIS appreciation for this topic. So often the passage and topic are treated as dry studies – and even when an author or presenter comes to the conclusion that this is a topic for the modern era, they often present it as a tough situation for women but, almost-sadly, applicable. I *love* that brother Kuruvilla sees the joy, honor, and beauty of it and shares that passion in a contagious way.
Thank you for this series.
Excellent lesson!! Many believers need to learn from this!!!
This lesson is an extremely impactful and very necessary lesson. It delves well into the history of the Old Testament and how we should handle the Old Testament. I highly recommend this lesson to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of the Bible and you may be very surprised by what you discover! Nevertheless very necessary and extremely edifying surprises they will be!!!
Excellent!
A very good place to start the studies of the writings of the early Christians!
David does a thorough job
Didn’t cut any corners in answering every argument very fairly and thoughtfully. Thank you for this resource.
Good perspective on getting involved with worldly politics.
I believe this is good perspective on getting involved in politics and the negative affect it can have on the church and Jesus when we get it wrong.
Helpful and encouraging.
I’m new to church history. Glad to see the scriptures being referred to see if these things “lined up.”
Context
Understanding the context of each of the passages was really helpful in growing my faith and really just understanding The Word better!
Shadows of Christ (Mini Course)
The series focuses on prophecies about the resurrection of Jesus. My hope is that this series of lessons will strengthen the faith of Christians and open their eyes to the importance of the Old Testament. I also hope that these lessons will be useful in helping unbelievers come to faith in Jesus Christ, based on the evidence of the fulfilled prophecies that were written hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
Truth about Baptism: Infant or Believers
The series focuses on prophecies about the resurrection of Jesus. My hope is that this series of lessons will strengthen the faith of Christians and open their eyes to the importance of the Old Testament. I also hope that these lessons will be useful in helping unbelievers come to faith in Jesus Christ, based on the evidence of the fulfilled prophecies that were written hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
Expository Teaching Using Early Christian Insights
A church is only as strong as its doctrine. Those who aspire to be teachers, whether for a church office, leadership position on a missionary team, small group, or family devotions, accept a weighty responsibility. Like any important skill, the ability to teach effectively and accurately must be developed. This course draws upon the Septuagint and early Christian sources to offer practical advice for Bible fanatics who want to communicate the truths of God's word (and especially Old Testament connections to Christ). In the last three modules of the course, Chuck Pike will demonstrate how he would teach through three challenging Bible passages.
Matthew the Chief Gospel
Bring the Scriptures to life — not by garbing the people of the first century in twenty-first-century clothes — but by clothing them in ancient garments.
Resurrection Prophecies
The series focuses on prophecies about the resurrection of Jesus. My hope is that this series of lessons will strengthen the faith of Christians and open their eyes to the importance of the Old Testament. I also hope that these lessons will be useful in helping unbelievers come to faith in Jesus Christ, based on the evidence of the fulfilled prophecies that were written hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
The Holy Spirit
If you have more confusion than clarity concerning the Holy Spirit, you're not alone. Some groups have treated the Spirit as a license for casting off scriptural authority. Others have reacted by minimizing His role. The result is that teaching about the third person of the Trinity often leaves much to be desired. But Jesus did not intend for His followers to linger in confusion; rather, he wanted them to realize the Spirit's power in their lives. We hope that this course will begin to clarify the Holy Spirit for you: what Jesus taught the disciples about it, how the early Christians thought about it, and how the Holy Spirit is alive today.
Christians & Politics: A Challenge From History
Join Dean Taylor for this three-part series as he looks at the landscape of Christian involvement in politics. Dean takes a historical approach to see what happens every time Christians get involved in the political arena. By diagnosing pervasive Constantinism found throughout history he will challenge you to rethink how the Church should engage the culture today.
Radical Reformation History
Anabaptist history is still quite relevant today, as many of the questions that shaped the Anabaptist movement during and after its inception persist in modern churches.
Prove It: Old Testament Proofs That Jesus is the Messiah
Despite the explosion of Christianity throughout the world during the first few centuries after Christ, few Christians today present and defend the story of Jesus using the tactics of the earliest evangelists. In this 5-part series, Chuck Pike demonstrates the time-tested relevance of scriptural proofs for the gospel.
