Sermon on the Mount
with Various Instructors
FALL 2024
September 19–December 12, 2024 | 9:00 AM–10:30 AM
The Way Ministry Centre, Vancouver
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This learning experience invites students into an in-depth engagement with arguably the most influential discourse in the New Testament, the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). Through extended study students will consider and wrestle with the rich theological, ethical, and practical contours of Jesus’ most expansive teaching on the Kingdom of God. This learning experience will focus on key movements within the sermon and offer interactive discussion, critical analysis, and practical application. Students will come away with greater understanding of the significance of Jesus’ instruction and a clearer sense of the nature of his invitation to usher in the Kingdom with the whole of their own lives.
That said, as many of you are aware we are having to change that course due to Darrell’s health condition. See the email that was sent out for more information. We are still running a course open to the wider church and community.
Genesis 1-11
with Darrell Johnson
SPRING 2024
In this course, we will work with the conviction that Genesis 1–11 is “the first half of the Bible,” Genesis 12—Revelation 22 the “second half of the Bible. In Genesis 1–11 we have the “beginnings” of creation, the creation of humanity [for a four-fold relational harmony], the entrance of evil into God’s good world, the tragic fall of the first humans into sin, the spiraling breakdown of the four-fold harmony, and thus the overwhelming need for rescue and restoration “from outside” ourselves, setting the stage for the first announcement of the gospel in Genesis 12:1–3. We will discover that the story/stories of these foundational chapters of the Bible help us begin to make sense of the larger human story and our stories with that story.
