MONDAY (6:40- 8:10 pm) Pauline Theology (2 units)
(IN PERSON CLASS)
(Online option for long-distance students)
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 1:1-3)
Pauline Theology is the study of the life and doctrine of the apostle Paul, the writer of 13 books of the New Testament and the one who said, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” As we look at the life and doctrine of the apostle Paul, we will spend time properly interpreting his teachings and understanding how they fit into theology as a whole and the timing of the growth of the church. We will then ask some serious questions about how these things apply to our lives. Theology is not just something we learn, it is something we live! Here is what we will study this quarter
Paul’s Early Life and Conversion – What does the Bible, the Church Fathers, and historians tell us?
Pauline Theology Proper – What was Paul’s view of God?
Pauline Christology – What was Paul’s view of Jesus Christ?
Pauline Soteriology – How did Paul understand the saving work of Jesus Christ?
Pauline Ecclesiology – How did Paul understand the church and its relation to Israel?
Pauline Eschatology – What was Paul’s view of end times?
Paul on life – What was Paul’s teaching about priorities in life and how to be successful?
Paul on suffering – How did Paul view suffering – its purpose and how to understand it?
Paul on leadership – What was Paul’s view of how to be a great leader?
Paul on relationships – What was Paul’s view of love and how we are to treat one another?
MONDAY (8:30–10:00 pm) Character Development – Fulfilling Your Calling In Life (2 units)
(IN PERSON CLASS)
(Online option for long-distance students)
You were created for a purpose, no matter what the circumstances of your birth were. God placed you on the stage of history to accomplish something important in this world, better than anyone else can. You are a necessary part of the great drama of the ages. And everything about your birth and life that was beyond your control was allowed by God to prepare you for success in that calling. You will do greater things than you imagine.
Satan did not want to fulfill God’s call on his life. He wanted to be like God (Isaiah 14:12-16). He tempted Eve not to accept her God-given place, but to want more, and to be like God (Genesis 3:5). Adam followed her in disobedience. And the devil will tempt you to decide for yourself what you will do in life—to be your own god—rather than finding and fulfilling God’s call on your life. Like Adam and Eve, the choice is yours and the consequences huge. But if you find and fulfill God’s call you will find the joy and meaning you have been looking for.
Character Development is a series of courses on the most important quality of a Christian – Christlike character. It’s the very opposite of the hypocrisy Jesus condemned in the religious leaders of His day. God wants us to walk in victory and become like His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28-29). Learning all about the Lord and the Bible is great. Learning to minister in power is wonderful. But if we do not develop His character we will eventually get shot down by the world, the flesh, or the devil. God has definite steps to achieve victory in each area of our lives and the twelve Character Development courses are where you’ll learn them.

Tuesday (6:40 – 8:10 pm) Romans 1–5: Justification by Faith (2 units)
(Online Only Course)
Paul’s letter to the Roman church is a timeless letter to all of us, coming from the heart of a man dedicated to bringing the gospel into a dark world. Paul writes one of his most extensive expressions of God’s plan to redeem humanity, first the Jews, and then the Gentiles. Paul also sets to unify the church in Rome. You see, there was a problem in Rome. A problem that can infiltrate any church, a sense of superiority over the rest of the world which can lead to arrogance. In part one of this three-part course, we will examine Paul’s doctrine of Justification by Faith.
Back to list of courses
TUESDAY (8:30- 10:00 pm) How To Live the Exchanged Life (2 units)
(Online Only Course)
Gal. 2:20 states, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. This course will plumb the depths of this familiar verse that declares THE EXCHANGED LIFE: JESUS CHRIST GAVE HIS PERFECT LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR MY SINFUL ONE.
What does it mean to live a new life that’s been given to me, empowered by the Holy Spirit? The Scripture is filled with exchanges that God imparts because of Jesus Christ’s completed work on the cross. God delights in giving forgiveness in exchange for our sin, strength in exchange for our weakness, comfort for mourning, beauty for ashes, freedom for bondage, and so much MORE!
Let’s study the Word together to fully grasp our identification with Christ, exchanging our “old self” for the “new man in Christ”. Let’s learn how to give My Life for Yours, so that those without Christ will choose the only One who can restore and transform us all.
WEDNESDAY (6:40 – 8:10 pm) Introduction to Christian Theology-III (2 units)
(IN PERSON CLASS)
(Online option for long-distance students)
Without correct theology on essential issues, evangelism and personal faith will be empty, incomplete, and inadequate. Jesus said those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and Truth. In fact, every false teaching starts with a false view of God and thus, a defective view of the gospel. Peter instructs Christians to “Grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18). The biblically prescribed way of learning doctrine is through the study of the written Scripture. For the Christian, it is vitally important to have a set foundation of biblical truth on essential doctrines.
This quarter, we will examine the finished work of Christ. We will first examine the importance of His substitutionary obedient life—that is, living the perfect life, on our behalf, thus fulfilling the “covenant of works” (which Adam broke). Then we will examine His substitutionary atonement. Thus, His “penal obedience”—that is, perfectly obeying the Father in taking the penalty of sin (forgiving us) and adverting the wrath due to us because of sin. We will also discuss His physical resurrection, and ascension, and His glorious second coming.
I am very confident that this course will adequately and vastly increase your familiarity of important biblical doctrines and provide the necessary tools for effective evangelism and helping other believers learn correctly, —as Prov. 27:17 indicates: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
(It is not necessary to have taken the first two quarters of this series to take this class. All are welcome!)

WEDNESDAY (8:30- 10:00 pm) Revelation: Letters to the Seven Churches (2 units)
(Online Only Course)
No passage in the New Testament contains more clear, concise and comprehensive instruction of the Church’s life and work than the first three chapters of Revelation. John delivers a series of messages from the risen and exalted Jesus addressed to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia (today’s western Turkey). Each church receives an individualized message, suited to its need, spiritual condition, and circumstance. Christ is pictured standing in the midst of seven lamp stands, depicting the churches to whom these letters are addressed. We might expect to find the risen Christ in more spectacular surroundings, more exalted company. But there He is, standing in the midst of seven churches afflicted with all the defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities and inconsistencies which have beset churches throughout the centuries.
There is one thing that all seven churches have in common: the Spirit speaks and they listen. One phrase is repeated without variation to all seven churches: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” What is written for one church is intended for the ears and edification of all of the churches, including our own. All seven letters conclude with a promise addressed to “the one who overcomes.” Overcomer is a synonym for “Christian” in the Book of Revelation. John has peeled back the veil of history to show the supernatural forces at work on behalf of God’s people as they battle against the powers of evil. To those who are inclined in any age to forsake their faith because the odds against them seem to be too great, or the pressure to conform or be complacent is too strong, the book issues a powerful challenge to endurance, that is to say, to be an “overcomer.”
There is a great need in these troubling times in which we live for Christian “overcomers” to listen intently to what the Spirit is saying to the Church. In this course we will learn to listen to and heed what the Spirit is saying to the churches today. We will look through the eyes of Jesus at each of the seven churches, extract the key issues, and discover His pattern for the Church in every age.
What if Jesus wrote a letter to your church? What would He commend? What faults would He expose? What instructions would He give?

To be announced – – Saturday Seminar, Date to be announced 2024 (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM)
Topic to be announced
…
Evangelism – Field Experience (2 units)
The word “evangelism” means taking the good news about salvation through Jesus Christ to other people. Jesus came to preach the gospel to the poor, and He is still doing that today through us, because we are His body (1 Corinthians 12:27). How do we learn to evangelize? Mainly by doing it. This is a “field experience” course, which involves witnessing for at least one and a half hours a week, turning in weekly lists of the people witnessed to, reading a missionary book (supplied) and writing five pages of notes on it.

Descripciones de los Cursos
LUNES (6:40–8:10 pm) Desarrollo del Carácter – I
(Clase presencial; opción en línea disponible para estudiantes de larga distancia)
El Desarrollo del Carácter es una series de cursos prácticos donde la fe y creencias cristianas son aplicadas en las situaciones reales de la vida diaria. Dios desea que Su Pueblo realmente venga a ser semejante a Cristo, no solo creer ciertas doctrinas o acumular una cabeza llena de información. Sin embargo, vivir lo que creemos puede ser difícil en el día de hoy.
En el Desarrollo del Carácter no solo miramos a las diferentes situaciones de la vida y aprendemos maneras de manejarlas, sino que también vamos mas profundo en comprender como se desarrolla el amor genuino y la virtud en nuestro ser interno, a fin de vivir como cristianos genuinos todo el tiempo y no solo los domingos.
Este trimestre es la primera parte de esta serie y trataremos principios basicos del caracter cristiano y como aplicarlos en nuestra vida diaria—que quiere decir ser el barro y que Dios es el alfarero; como ser un cristiano espiritual; como aprender de la reprensión de otros; como perdonar realmente; ¡y mucho mas!
LUNES (8:30 – 10:00 pm) El Asombroso Libro de Daniel
(Clase presencial; opción en línea disponible para estudiantes de larga distancia)
El libro de Daniel es uno de los libros más emocionantes de la Biblia, y es desde luego, un libro de profecías. El principal tema de la profecía es el Señor Jesucristo. “Porque el testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu de la profecía” (Ap. 19:10). El libro de Daniel es un libro muy importante porque presenta el escenario para el tiempo del fin, no cientos de años pero miles de años antes del cumplimiento de estas profecías.
El libro de Daniel para el cristiano de nuestros días, es muy relevante. En el libro de Daniel encontramos historia, profecía, teología sólida, ejemplos de cómo vivir una vida santa, y ejemplos y exhortaciones de cómo soportar persecuciones y vivir en el contexto del gobierno y el mundo. ¡Así que aprendemos y aplicamos las verdades de este libro, el cambio de vida es inevitable en todos los aspectos de la vida!

MARTES (6:40–8:10 PM) Deuteronomio-Cumpliendo tu Proposito
(Clase presencial; opción en línea disponible para estudiantes de larga distancia)
En Deuteronomio, Moisés le habla a la segunda generación de israelitas. La primera generación se salvó de Egipto, pero no cumplió su propósito en Canaán. ¿Por qué? No se debió a falta de lucha, habilidad, estrategia o entusiasmo, sino a falta de amor incondicional. No pudieron conquistar la tierra debido a la condición de sus corazones. Sin embargo, en Deuteronomio se encuentran claves para que la segunda generación cumpla el propósito de Dios para sus vidas. Estas lecciones son para nosotros también, y si las aprendemos, podremos poseer verdadera y plenamente las promesas y obtener la herencia que Dios nos ha dado.
MARTES (8:30–10:00 pm) 1 & 2 Pedro
(Clase presencial; opción en línea disponible para estudiantes de larga distancia)
Pedro habla acerca de la realidad diaria de vivir para Cristo. Sus epístolas están llenas de sabiduría práctica la cual habla a nuestras vidas en este mundo loco en el cual vivimos. Las dos tratan el sufrimiento y las pruebas que todos experimentamos, y nos muestran el camino a la victoria. Cada una de ellas tratan de una forma realista el tema de qué está bien o mal, y nos ayudan a conquistar la abundancia de racionalismo de nuestra sociedad. Este curso detallará los antecedentes de cada una de las cartas y después irá a través de las ricas lecciones espirituales y ideas que ofrecen.

MIÉRCOLES (6:40–8:10 pm) Cristo en el Tabernáculo
(Curso exclusivamente en línea)
Dios es un Dios consistente, un Dios eternal, quien piensa en términos de toda la historia, no solamente en la generación inmediata. Cuando El planeó el trabajo encomendado a Jesucristo para nuestra salvación en la eternidad, planeó un cohe-rente y progresivo drama de redención a través de la historia de la humanidad en la tierra. El tabernáculo de Moisés era una parte fundamental de esta ilustrativa revelación de su plan y trabajo en favor del hombre. Mostró realidades, ambas en el cielo y en la tierra, al ser ordenado a venir como el Mesías y hacer su trabajo perfecto para nuestra salvación
Cada parte del Tabernáculo nos muestra una verdad vital para la humanidad relacionada con todo lo que Dios ha dicho sobre este tema a través de las edades. Es un curso fascinante que llevará al estudiante a través de todos los aspectos del Tabernáculo y su significado en Cristo Jesús.
MIÉRCOLES (8:30–10:00 pm) Guerra Espiritual
(Curso exclusivamente en línea)
La Biblia enseña que estamos envueltos en una guerra espiritual. Pues nuestra lucha no es contra carne ni sangre, sino contra principados y potestades, contra las fuerzas del mundo de obscuridad, contra las fuerzas del mal en las regiones celestes (Ef. 6:12). También la Biblia habla que aunque andamos en la carne, no militamos según la carne, pues las armas de nuestra milicia no son carnales sino poderosas en Dios para la destrucción de fortalezas (2 Cor. 10:3-4).
Para derrivar estas fortalezas en la vida de las personas, en nuestros vecindarios, etc. requiere que estemos versados y experimentados en la guerra espiritual, y no solo en programas sociales. Este curso enseñará lo básico en cuanto a ser efectivos al participar de la guerra espiritual y salir victoriosos. Este curso es continuación de lo que se enseña en “El Poder de la Oración,” y le prepara para el curso en “Consejería Pastoral.”

Seminario de sabado: “¿Dios, Me Estas Llamando?” – sabado, 16 de noviembre, 2024 – (9:00AM-3:00PM).
El Pastor Jimmy Madrid dara un estudio basado en el libro excelente de Jeff long “¿Dios, me estas Ilamando?”
“Dios está llamando a una nueva generación de líderes del reino que acelerarán el cumplimiento de la Gran Comisión en esta generación. Mi meta es ir al grano y darle las herramientas para llevar a cabo el proceso del llamamiento”.
“Reconociendo que todos los creyentes tienen un llamado de Dios en sus vidas, lorg categoriza eficazmente los llamados más específicos para el liderazgo cristiano o el servicio misionero así como también el llamado de Dios a un trabajo o lugar en particular. Su evaluación de las diversas maneras en que Dios llama disipará dudas e indecisión y a la vez dará seguridad y confianza a muchos”.
No es necesario comprar el libro para asistir al seminario, a menos que lo esta tomando por credito, pero si quiere obtenerlo de antemano, busque el libro “¿Dios, Me Estas Llamando?” por Jeff Iong
Evangelismo – Facultad
La palabra “evangelismo” significa llevar las Buenas Nuevas de salvación a través de Jesucristo a otras personas. Jesús vino para predicar el evangelio a los pobres, y Él continua haciéndolo hasta el día de hoy a través de nuestras bocas, ya que nosotros somos Su Cuerpo (1 Cor. 12:27). Cómo podremos aprender a evangelizar? Primeramente, haciéndolo! Esta clase es un “campo para experimentar.” Cada estudiante establece un programa de evangelismo semanal, regularmente realizado en su propia iglesia, entonces viene al director de la Universidad para trabajar bajo un plan supervisado.
