Introduction to Biblical Languages

Since the Bible was written in Hebrew & Greek, serious students of Scripture find it helpful to have a basic familiarity with the Biblical languages. The aim of this course is to teach students the Greek & Hebrew alphabets and some elementary concepts of Biblical Greek that will aid in using the Bible study resources available today.

Biblical Hermeneutics

This class is offered during the fall quarter of SBS each year. The goal is to revolutionize the way a student of the Bible studies God's Word. A basic Bible study method will be introduced and the various problems of interpreting the different literary genre of the Bible will be discussed.

Introduction to the New Testament

The purpose of this course is to grant a good working knowledge of the geography and people that make up New Testament times and Biblical writings. This course also meets weekly, with students held accountable for the assigned readings through discussion and quizzes.

Introduction to the Old Testament

The purpose of this course is to grant a good working knowledge of the geography and people that make up Israel's history and Biblical writings. This class will meet weekly to discuss the assigned readings. A short quiz will be given weekly and unit tests will evaluate each student's progress.

English Grammar for Biblical Studies

The purpose of this course is to familiarize or review basic English grammar and sentence structure necessary for more effective study of your Bible.

Exegesis 1

This class will be offered during the spring quarter of SBS each year. Students will employ the skills learned in Hermeneutics in order to study and interpret the book of Titus.

Exegesis 2

This course will combine the skills learned in Hermeneutics with elementary Greek skills to interpret the Seven Letters of Revelation 2 - 3.

Doulos Leadership

The Greek word for "slave" is doulos. The apostles considered themselves slaves of Christ because they knew that, through His sacrifice, Christ had purchased them out of slavery to sin for slavery to righteousness. This series, taught by several of the staff and elders of HPEFC, will focus on how leaders can serve Christ in their public ministry as well as in their private lives.

These courses are offered at different times during the year. Please contact us to find out which courses are available.
