This class begins a study on the Judgment of Israel in the Tribulation. This particular study deals with the covenant that God made with the children of Israel after thier exodus from Egypt, and the terms of that covenant, and what God said He would do if Israel violated those terms. Admittedly, there is quite a bit of reading in this class, which generally makes for a "drier" and less "dynamic" mode of delivery, but the importance of seeing this foundational material calls for such consideration of the Scriptures.

Cain and Abel both brought sacrifices. Abel's sacrifice was the blood of a Lamb, by which the Scripture says he obtained witness that he was righteous.

A controversial subject to be sure, this short class explores what the bible says about the events Jesus experienced after the cross.

There is in the Bible a description of the life of a believer. Many times our lives come short of that and we live as we did before we were saved. This is what we call backsliding.

When we as Christians omit the things of the Christian life, we are indeed back-slidden.
