CLASSES

​Spring A
ZMTI 123 Parables of Jesus
​Mondays at 6 pm, January 24-March 14
Instructor: Dr. Larry Gipson

Class Description: Jesus Christ was a master storyteller and often taught in parables. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning and Jesus would often use this type of communication when speaking to the crowds. This course will take careful examination on each of the parables found in the Gospels and teach students how to apply the heavenly meanings to increase their intimacy with God. NOTE: This location will offer WebEx as an option for attending classes.

​​Tuition is $50 per class. Students who register without using the online option will be subject to a $10 processing fee per semester. Click the button below to register for this class.

Spring B
​
ZMTI 124 The Life and Ministry of Jesus
Mondays at 6 pm, March 28-May 16
Instructor: Dr. Larry Gipson
​

Class Description:  Rarely do we find a comprehensive study on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Sometimes the task seems too daunting. This course is designed to give students a survey of the life of Jesus using a harmonious approach with the Gospel narratives. From his pre-incarnate ministry to his ascension this survey will examine the various highlights of his life and ministry for students to better understand our commitment to him through our Christian witness. NOTE: This location will offer Zoom as an option for attending classes.

​Tuition is $50 per class. Students who register without using the online option will be subject to a $10 processing fee per semester. Click the button below to register for this class.
