Abraham, A Friend of God - Ben Jamison
As we study the life of God’s friend, Abraham, we will discover that the God of the Bible not only exists, but He is actively governing His creation. Thousands of years ago, God established a plan to redeem the world from sin. This redemptive plan began with His choice of one man, Abraham. Join me as we walk in this notable nomad’s sandals for nine weeks and learn more about our God who loves us so much.

Required book: I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer
Limited Resources, Limitless God - Ro Swan and Phil Umbarger

The Old Testament Sacrifices (Leviticus 1-7) - Don McMurry
In this course, we will examine each of the Old Testament sacrifices to gain a deeper understanding of how they relate to the entire scripture.

Required book: Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence for Every Believer by J. Oswald Sanders
Prayer on Fire - Joe Sarsfield
The first time I heard Tim Keller talk about the need for counter-catechesis, it reframed everything for me. What first comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? Are you tired of lukewarm prayers? Are you hungry to know Christ better and better? Does your soul echo this desire for the fire of God’s glorious presence to penetrate your life? All effective prayer is generated by God the Holy Spirit and leads us to a fresh encounter with God. God is even more eager to make Himself known than we are to know Him. He was seeking us before we started seeking Him. The better we get to know the Holy Spirit, the more relevant and effective our prayer lives will become. Was this the fire that came down on Asbury last year? God wants the same thing to happen in your life, your home, and your church. Required book: Prayer On Fire by Fred A. Hartley
