The Words and Works of Jesus

How can you keep pointing people to Jesus if you don’t know what the gospels tell us about his words and works? We believe a working knowledge of what Jesus said and did is crucial if you are to live and minister from a biblical worldview. This course fits into the group of courses dealing with biblical studies. Biblical studies is the branch of theology that studies the Bible itself. The focus area of this course will be the four gospel accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus.  By the end of this course you should be able to:
