Not Just For Knowledges Sake
Our hope is that what you learn in the classroom will be applied across all areas of life. When we know more about who God is and what He expects of us as His disciples, the more that our desire to share His love with others will grow as well.

Bible in One Year
|
|
Cover2Cover
San Diego Community Bible Church (CBC) has encouraged its members and attendees to read through the bible together chronologically in one year.
We completed our first year at the end of July, 2010 and started again on September 1, 2010. The teachers at CBC Bible Institute (CBCBI) created this group to supplement and encourage this program. We meet on Sunday evenings from 5:30pm to 7pm in Room 700 in order to present insights on the current readings from the Biblical text and to answer any questions that may have arisen in the minds of the participants.
We usually start with a devotion by one of the faculty, followed by two or three other presentations or lessons by others of the faculty, on a rotating basis.

Foundations Class
Our gracious Lord wants you to mature in your faith, not just get older in your faith. If you're tired being a mediocre Christian come join the Foundations class Sunday mornings from 9:00 AM to 10:45 AM, but come expecting an adventure, not just getting to know more.
Do you think your gracious Lord is satisfied with your effectiveness in His Kingdom? Would you say your faith is victorious? This class lays a foundation for an effective and victorious faith, an adventure as you walk with the God of the universe. The Foundations Class will help you to use the resources God provided you for your growth to maturity: understanding your salvation, your identity in Christ, the Word of God, prayer and fellowship. The class will help you with the trials and temptations of life, and how to present yourself to God as a living and holy sacrifice, allowing Him to be Lord in every way. The class will also help you to understand the Holy Spirit and the Trinity. The Holy Spirit will provide you with everything you need, just come with a willing spirit. Come expecting to change, knowing God's joy in you as you lay a deep and abiding foundation for the years to come.
Ephesians 4:15
Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.

Systematic Theology Class
Beginning March 4, and continuing on for at least a year, we are starting a Systematic Theology Class on Sunday afternoons from 1:30-3:00, taught by our Bible Institute Faculty. We are planning on covering over 50 topics of Bible doctrine. What does the Bible actually teach and how does it all fit together? It is important that you sign up for the class in order to receive access to supplemental materials. We are using Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine" as the textbook.
Here is a description of Wayne Grudens book "Systematic Theology": The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around fairly standard categories such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. This introduction to systematic theology has several distinctive features: - A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine and teaching - Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum - A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today - A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect - Frequent application to life - Resources for worship with each chapter - Bibliographies with each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies.

The Book Of Daniel

Daniel Alive!
This book of Daniel shows us how to be faithful when facing adversity. There are many practical applications of Daniel to fit modern shoe leather as well as several must-read pages in God's newspaper of the future. If you're interested in joining the Daniel Alive! class it will begin on January 9th and continue through February 27th on Mondays at 7:00 PM.
The theme of the book of Daniel is the judgment coming to all who reject Christ and the blessing coming to all who have a personal relationship with Him. Daniel prophesied of the advent of the Medo-Persian Empire that came to pass when he was 82 years old. He prophesied of the Greek and Roman empires that occurred long after his death. He also prophesied of the Revived Roman Empire, an event of the tribulation period through the Second Advent of Christ. Daniel's prophecy of Seventy Weeks covers sixty-nine weeks of years for the Jews that end at the cross of Christ, and between the sixty-ninth and seventieth week, the Church Age ensues. The seventieth week begins at the rapture of the church and covers the 7-year tribulation period on earth that ends in the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Advent of Christ. Daniel also shows us the power of prayer and how to pray effectively. This book shows us how to be faithful when facing adversity. There are many practical applications of Daniel to fit modern shoe leather as well as several must-read pages in God's newspaper of the future. Daniel provides the framework that every single prophecy of God's Word fits within! Daniel Alive! is a course that will investigate the many riches of this book during the winter quarter.
