Announcements

Dear friends, This week begins our Advent program, entitled “Advent Lights,” a two-week study on the Immanuel Songs of Isaiah 7–12. These gatherings will be more discussion-oriented than our usual classes: they should be a relaxed, prayerful way to shed some light on your Advent season. We hope you can join us! Advent Lights will…

This is just an announcement that our fall series, “Israel in the Wilderness: Eight Lessons from the Book of Numbers.” This is the fifth and final study in our multi-year series on the five books of Torah. The Torah is absolutely foundational to our faith as Christians, revealing God’s nature to us over a vast…

We will be launching our new study series, “How Then Shall We Live?” – starting this next week, the first full week of February. It will be a serious and careful reconsideration of the the essential Law of God in the Ten Commandments and the higher way to which Christ calls us in the Beatitudes.…

We are currently in the process of editing our recordings. We expect CDs to be available in late October.…

The Way of Holiness and Right Worship: Studies in the Book of Leviticus Ten sessions To many modern readers the Book of Leviticus can seem obscure and forbidding, yet its ancient laws lay out principles of holiness and right worship, foreshadowing the greater realities we have in Christ.  In rabbinic education, it was the first…

OLD TESTAMENT THEMES A new five-week study Our summer journeyman programs are general survey courses, usually alternating material from the Old and New Testaments and Church history – or some major spiritual topic. In these sessions we attempt to give a convenient handle on material, which can serve as a useful foundation for further study.…
