Psalms (PART II) ALIVE!
The Fall 2026 quarter will feature Psalms (Part I). It is our second interactive study of the book of Psalms and has practical help for any Christian.
“Psalms” means in Hebrew, “Book of Praises.” The Bible’s Book of Praises was originally sung by Levites in the temple in Jerusalem, and each song was composed over a 946-year period. Psalms conveys six basic themes: 1-God in all His splendor, 2-His wonderful plans for the people He created, 3-our privilege of close fellowship with Him, 4-our reasons to give thanks to Him, 5-our remembrance of His role in our history, and 6-our joy in His deliverance from our enemies.
You will study titles and themes of all 150 Psalms, and you will study expanded paragraphs of almost all 150 Psalms. Book 1, which was incompletely covered in Sp26 is not complete in F26 but differently than in Sp26. You will discover that the book of Psalms contains a medicine cabinet for all the hurts people may experience and will examine a number of spiritual prescriptions to consider. Special attention is given to several special psalms of prayer that one can use to pray for just about any problem that may occur. Editorial notes that you see in the book of Psalms will also be investigated. This course takes eight weeks in the Fall Quarter 2026. This class will begin on September 21st and the last class is November 9th.

The Doctrine of the Word of God
The class on the Doctrine of the Word of God will be an interactive study of what the Bible teaches us about itself. The class will be a benefit to anyone seeking a foundational understanding of what the Bible is. We will deal with several common questions about the Bible.
The class on the Doctrine of the Word of God will be an interactive study of what the Bible teaches us about itself. The class will be a benefit to anyone seeking a foundational understanding of what the Bible is. We will deal with several common questions about the Bible.
What is the Word of God? We will study the aspects of the Word of God as the person of God and speech by God.
Why does the Bible have a fixed number of books? We will look at the historical process of compiling the Bible into the 66 books that we have today. We will see why the books that are in the Bible were included and others were excluded.
How can we know that the Bible is the Word of God? We will examine the authority of Scripture: what the Bible claims for itself as being the authentic Word of God.
Is the Bible free from any errors? On the basis of the authenticity of the Bible as the Word of God, we will see that the Bible teaches that God cannot lie and, therefore, His words are completely true and without error in any part.
Can ordinary people understand the Bible? We will study the fact that for those who God has caused to be teachable by being born again, the teachings of the Bible are understandable. We will briefly encounter the study of Hermeneutics, or the biblical rules of interpretation.
Why is the Bible necessary to know God? We will discuss how the Bible is necessary to come to saving faith, live an authentic Christ-centered life and know God’s will.
Is the Bible all we need to know God? We will examine the sufficiency of Scripture. This means that Scripture contains all the words of God we need for salvation and for trusting and obeying God. We are not allowed to take away from or add to Scripture or seek any further revelation.
