Knowledge

"If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." John 8:31-32

The transforming power of God’s word is unleashed by His Spirit when it is understood, internalized, and taught effectively. The Call seeks to equip its participants with the tools needed to be life-long students of the Bible, “handling accurately the word of truth.” For instruction, reflection, illumination, or practice, the Bible is the Spirit’s primary mode of God’s self-revelation. Therefore the Call works in conjunction with Ashland University’s Religion Department to engage the minds of participants to think biblically and theologically about all matters of life, and to communicate the truth of God in relevant ways to others.

The curriculum for participants in the Call is still being set, but courses may include:
      Christian Spirituality
      Christian Worship
      The Church in the 21st Century
      Servant Leadership
      Global Missions
      Practical Ministry: Homiletics, Christian Education, and Small Group Dynamics
      Biblical Greek

In addition to classroom studies, small group Bible Studies will dig deeper into applying the truth of scripture in meaningful ways to daily life and exploring the steadfastness of God’s word in the face of a world in constant change.

Guest speakers will offer further opportunities to engage scripture and theological issues from various perspectives, for the purpose of increasing both in the “knowledge and love of the Lord.”
