TFTW Bible College

Man has the problem of sin separating him from God but Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins with His death.  By His grace, God offers us this free gift of salvation, but He gives us freewill to accept it or reject it.  In this course, we will look at the different steps God tells us to take to partake of the free gift of salvation.

“Is there a God?” This is one of the most important questions we could ever ask. The answer to this question leads to the answer to other important questions, such as “What is the meaning of life?” and “What happens after we die?”  Whether or not there is a God changes the answers to these most important questions.

In this course we will look at the evidence that the Bible really is communication from God.

Who is Jesus?  What evidences are there for His claim to deity?

There are so many different characteristics, or attributes, of you that no one could summarize everything in one word.  Words like “kind,” “gentle,” “patient,” etc. might describe you or people you know.  These are what we would call “attributes” of a person.  In this lesson, we will look at attributes of God. 

This course will focus on 3 important questions for man: 1) Where did I come from?, 2) Why am I here?, and 3) Where am I going?

This course will examine Satan's origin, his character, and the main weapon he can use today!

In a previous lesson we looked at the attributes of God.  We would not know these attributes just by looking at God’s Creation.  God revealed this information in His communication to man, the Bible.  In this lesson we will see why God spoke to man, how He has spoken to man, and how to determine what we are authorized to do or not to do by His word. 

In this lesson we will talk about sin that separates man from God. This topic is important to understand because if we do not resolve our sin problem we cannot be in God’s presence, including after this life in Heaven.

In the last lesson we looked at the main problem for man, sin. In this lesson we will look at God’s solution for saving lost man. That solution is Jesus the Christ. We will look at different sacrifices that have been made for sin. Then, we will look at Jesus as the perfect sacrifice for sin.

You may recall that one of those was “temple of God.” This describes the worship aspect of the church.  In this lesson we are going to look at what worship is. Then we are going to to look at how we must worship God. Then we will look at the different acts of worship that are acceptable to God.
