Hermeneutics is the art and science of interpretation, and Biblical hermeneutics is specifically how to read and study the Bible well. It's an art because you get better at it as you learn the nature of different types of literature, and it's a science because there are rules that you follow in order to be accurate. And why is this so important? Since the Bible is the Word of God, it tells us who God is, who we are and what's really going on in the world around us - so when we read it correctly, we gain understanding for all of life!
This is not a course for experts. Young and old will find the information accessible and applicable. So don't be intimidated by the title! Come and find out more about knowing God better through the right reading of His Word!
igNITE EVANGELISM TRAINING
FROM SHAREWORD GLOBAL
Realize and unleash your passion for Jesus by learning how to live out your calling to share the Good News about Jesus, and then put what you learned to practice.
Ignite evangelism training will give you the skills and experience you need to make sharing the gospel part of your everyday life.
First you train...
In the first three weeks you will learn how you can use Scripture, your testimony, and the knowledge you already have to share the gospel with the people you interact with every day.
You’ll learn simple, authentic, skills that will help you connect with people and introduce them to Jesus.
...then you GO!
Theory is great, but nothing beats experience! It’s just that starting can be tricky. That’s why getting out of the church and engaging the people God has already placed in your life to share the gospel with.
After the first three sessions you will be encouraged and equipped to put the new skills you’ve developed into practice as you reach real people! The following two weeks of this Go Deep training you will meet together with your fellow participants to pray, discuss and encourage one another in your evangelism to the lost people God has placed in your life for you to minister to.
“Fear, Faith, Family & Fidelity”
How the family unit actively lives out its Biblical roles of discipleship, amidst the culture of death.
Housekeeping:
This course will run side by side with the Calvary Youth.
The youth students can volunteer to help with childcare for these evenings (paid or high school credit given) or join the adults in this course from 6:30-7:30, and then still get to hang out as students until 8:30 (as long as their rides allow it).
This will give family units the opportunity to study what God’s Word teaches us about family roles and discipleship together, and run both Go Deep and Calvary Youth simultaneously!
This course will be approximately a 50/50 split of teaching and discussion woven together. It will be both exegetical and topical teaching along with interactive discussion.
Each week, everyone will be given a handout with foundational scripture verses, a discussion question template and will be encouraged to continue the conversation as a family throughout the week to really dig into what needs to be applied to their family unit.
What to expect:
If you have ever wondered why our culture has morally decayed so rapidly and why it seems like most things in culture boil down to infiltrating the Biblical family unit, you’re not alone. Have you felt overwhelmed by the task, but deeply desired to learn how to raise and lead your family or children to stand firm in the Lord’s design for family? This Go Deep course aims to help equip families for exactly that, as we study each role in the family unit, how they have been perverted and how we should then live as Christ-followers.
1. Fear: Reckoning With Our Culture of Death
We will start with plenty of cultural and scriptural context on how our culture arrived at the present. What does it mean to be “salt and light” and how did our culture get to celebrating and affirming so much wickedness? More importantly, what lies, or omissions of truth have crept into the Church? How do we reckon with all of the “isms” that incessantly assault God’s definitions and designs?
2. Family: The Role of Fathers & Men
What role has God actually defined for men? Do you need to check your “man card” at the door to be a Godly man? How has our cultural history, the Canadian church, and rejection of Godly masculinity lead to generational family and gospel decay? What does The Lord really call us to as His men and why is His way infinitely better?
3. Family: The Role of Mothers & Women
The cultural and sexual revolution of the past 3 centuries have attempted to rob the beauty and value that only wives and mothers bring to a family unit. What manipulations of language and obscured goals of feminism, secular humanism, communism and eugenics have belittled the roles of wife and mother? We will look at the expressed goals of these “isms” and how scripture untangles these mental knots so we can live and think with Biblical clarity on the True beauty of God’s design.
4. Family: The Role of Children, Young Men & Women
What are the attacks on children and youth that this generation is facing? Why is secular culture so obsessed with indoctrinating our children with ever increasingly perverted definitions of life, death, ethics, sex, marriage and “identity”? (Spoiler alert: it’s the inversion of the great commission, to recreate humanity in our own image) There’s a shocking amount that these young men and women will be, and are, facing. So how can you students live through it all uncorrupted and how can parents equip their sons and daughters to live for Christ in the midst of our crooked and twisted generations?
5. Fidelity: Identity Discipled Into Action
As Francis Schaefferr said, “How should we then live?” How do we take the True identity Yahweh has designed each of us for, and our family units, and live out the words of Joshua in our homes, “...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”? Will we “tap out” to the pressure of culture or “count the cost” of discipleship, refusing to live on “cheap grace”, and live out intentional discipleship in our families?
6. Fidelity: Engaging The Culture of Death Biblically
To paraphrase Abraham Kuyper, “If Christ is not Lord OF ALL, He is not Lord AT ALL.” If we are first living out intentional Biblical discipleship in our homes, what should the world see Christians doing around them? If we have dispensed with being unaware of the evil around us, are we called to change culture, or keep out of it? If so, how and for what ultimate purpose? Is the goal to win “our place” back in culture, or to again affect culture, for the sake of winning the souls in it?
