You will receive a certificate of completion when we have received all the course lessons.

Currently we have 2 courses available. These courses will take you through an intense study of the greatest book ever to be delivered into human hands. Yet, the lessons are not hard. The answers on the question sheets are found in the scriptures covered in each lesson.

You can select from the following Courses:

Course 1 is the John Hurt series which consists of 8 lessons covering the Old and New Testament.  You receive the next lesson in the series when you return the question sheet at the end of the current lesson. This course is graded, but it is easy. If you have not studied the bible before, you might want to try the John Hurt series first.

 Course 2 is an open book studies of the New Testament by Dwight Perry. These are advanced studies, but it is not extremely difficult. These lessons contains no doctrine, or man’s opinion.  If you do have questions concerning the lessons, we will try to answer them.

Helpful Hints

(From the Bible Correspondence course by John M. Hurt)

1.      Study with an open mind:  Try to find what the Bible actually teaches instead of trying to make it prove what you already believe. Remember, the Gospel is God's power to save and not our opinions (Romans 1:16).

2.      Study The Bible Systematically: This is the purpose of this course. A student in school could not learn Chemistry, Math or Science if he shipped around haphazardly from one subject to another. The same principle holds true in Bible Study.

3.      Study The Bible Daily:   In Acts 17:11 the Bible says of the  people of Bera, "these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."  If these disciples were encouraged to check the teachings of the apostles, how careful we should be today.

4.      Realize "Truth" Exists:  We sometimes hear the statement that "you can prove anything by the Bible." Such a remark borders on complete blasphemy of God's word. If this is true then the Bible is full of contradictions and falsehoods teaching opposite doctrines on every page. Most people would become very angry if someone said that their character was such that "you could prove anything by them,"  yet make the same accusation against God's own Word. Remember, the truth never contradicts itself. If religious beliefs contradict one another it is because at least one, and perhaps both of them are not in harmony with the truth.

5.      Study Widely: If we could learn everything God wants us to know in one single verse there would be no purpose for the rest of the scriptures. In studying a certain scripture we should always consider the context (verses surrounding the verse under consideration) as well as to whom, when and under what conditions the scripture was written.

6.      Apply its Teachings Personally: One of the greatest Bible tragedies was the Rich Young ruler of Matthew 19 who inquired of the Lord what he must do to inherit eternal life. Upon receiving an answer the Bible says that "he went away sorrowful..."  Bible knowledge is wonderful, but is of little real value unless it is actively put to use. May the Lord richly bless you in your study of his word.
