The Church and End Times

Mondays 7pm

ST305. This class introduces topics that most people never study. We will spend time learning what the Bible says about the church and the end times. We will consider questions like: What is the church? Can we be saved outside of the church? What does Scripture teach about life after death? What is heaven like? When will Jesus return? We examine these ideas in order to be better equipped to lead and teach with confidence.

New Testament Biblical Theology

Tuesdays

7 pm

BT602: All of scripture speaks of Christ. A redemptive-historical study of God’s unfolding plan of salvation in the New Testament. Biblical Theology shows how all the Bible points to the glory of God in Jesus Christ. This study begins in Matthew and traces the plan of salvation through the life of Christ and the early church, incorporating pertinent introduction and survey material, through to the Book of Revelation. Attention is given to the application of the Bible to ourselves and others.

Christianity in Aotearoa

Wednesdays

7 pm

HT451: Christianity has been in New Zealand for over 200-years now, but most of us are woefully ignorant of our rich and varied history. The course will help you to discover the beginnings of the gospel in Aotearoa, the challenges faced by Maori and Pakeha believers, and the major Christian movements in our country today. This will make us better able to understand our cultural context to be more effective in ministry.
