Have you ever found yourself in a situation where the Word of God was misunderstood and misused? All too often the doctrine of God comes under attack from those who claim to be religious. When your faith is challenged, are you confident of your understanding of God’s Word?

The apostle Peter wrote about this saying, “our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures” (2 Peter 3:15-16).

When the truth is under attack, it is essential to know why you believe what you believe and have the ability to explain it. In many cases, as Peter wrote, it is Paul’s writings that are misinterpreted.

This is one important reason to attend Ambassador Bible College. At ABC we take the opportunity to study Paul’s letters, which are some of the most profound books ever written.

The Epistles of Paul class explores the historical and cultural background for each letter. Considerable time is taken to identify, examine and explain difficult sections of these books in order to clarify and expand understanding.

If you’ve ever wondered how Paul’s teachings fit with the teachings of Jesus and the other apostles, this is the class for you! This course examines doctrines and practices as they were addressed among God’s people in the first century Church and how it applies to us today. The overriding goal is to motivate students to not only understand but to recall and implement these principles in their personal lives.

If you’ve ever felt “twisted up” or had questions about something in Paul’s writings, this class will help you gain a depth of spiritual understanding and the confidence to explain it. I pray you’ll consider joining us at Ambassador Bible College.
