The Church at Ephesus

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:59:27 +0100

This week Steve Collins, a professor in the Hargrove school at Lincoln Christian University, offers insight into the city and church of Ephesus. Steve's insight into what we can learn from the Ephesians is particularly helpful. Like many of the professors at LCU, Steve has experience preaching and teaching in the church. He clearly demonstrates this with his ability to take complex subject matter and communicate it effectively.

High School Sunday School Class

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 23:55:14 +0100

We have started a new study in our high school bible study on Sunday mornings. Each week I'll post the video of our Lincoln Christian University (LCU) expert on the site. This week Fred Johnson pointed out that we should study the book of Revelation for what it can teach us about living a Christian life.

He also gives us some good basic guidelines for our study including:

The study should impact our hearts
We should read the book in humility
We should read the book asking what it meant to the original audience

Key words for our study

Exegesis - reading the Bible to understand what it meant in the original context
Eschatology - study of the end times
