Capstone | Module 6: God the Father
2025-10-13 18:00 - 2025-12-08 19:30 (America/Chicago)
NOTE: Class will be held on Columbus Day, 10/13)
About Module 6: God the Father
The study of the person of our God, the Father Almighty, is one of the most important and richest of all studies in the Word of God. It affects every part of our discipleship, worship, and ministry; truly, as our Lord Jesus said, “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent,” (John 17.3).
This module covers in broad outline the systematic categories of the study of “theology proper.” We begin by outlining the concepts of general and special revelation, and carefully explore the importance of studying the doctrine of God in terms of God’s immanence, i.e., his present and active involvement in creation, as well as his transcendence, God’s infinite nature and unknowableness.
We also examine God’s supreme authority and providence over all creation and history, how the Father Almighty is sovereign over all, the source of all life, and the Sustainer of all through his Son, Jesus Christ.
In addition, we will look at the biblical evidence for the Trinity, God’s triune personhood, and finally discover God’s marvelous goodness demonstrated in his moral attributes of his perfect moral purity, absolute integrity, and unbounded love.

Capstone | Module 9: The OT Witness to Christ and His Kingdom
2025-10-16 18:00 - 2025-12-11 19:30
NOTE: No Class on Thanksgiving: 11/27
About Module 9: The OT Witness to Christ and His Kingdom
The Spirit-breathed Scriptures are anchored on the witness of Jesus of Nazareth. He and he alone provides unity, continuity, and coherence to both the Old and New Testaments, and no one can claim a holistic or accurate view of the Bible without him being central in all phases of exegesis. He is the Bible’s theme (John 5.39-40).
In this module we trace some of the significant markers of the OT’s witness to Messiah, and see how those markers provide us with a strong handle on the meaning of the entirety of Scripture.
In the lessons included in this volume we examine the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament through the idea of progressive revelation, as well as consider how the events, institutions, and persons of the OT represent an analogy where we can understand the larger relationship of God with all of the redeemed through Jesus Christ. Specifically, we will study key character types in the OT with Jesus’ roles as a prophet (Moses), priest (Melchizedek), and king (David).
Finally, we consider the nature and scope of OT Messianic prophecy as it relates to providing us with a clear witness to Jesus of Nazareth as the fulfillment of the promised Christ and his coming Kingdom.
