Discipleship Bible School

The overwhelming majority of Christians have never read the entire Bible.

about the course

Many of those who attend Bible colleges learn methods of studying scripture, but aren't guided in putting those techniques to use on the text. The Discipleship Bible School provides an opportunity for students to read through God's word and practice techniques for understanding it based on its original context. Students who complete the course will learn to view the books of the Bible as part of a unified story and discover their place in that story. Most importantly, they will recognize the unchanging character of God throughout history.

Training Phase (3 months)

In this 12-week introduction to the Bible, the student will be given an overview of “God’s story” and will discover the purposes of God in it.

The student will read the entire Bible, observe the chronology of biblical events, better understand each book in its historical context, understand the harmony between the books, be able to recognize the different genres of literature, and major themes found in these 66 books. The student will learn the foundational truths of Christianity by going directly to the source.

FAQS

All of these schools are bible courses that will give you an understanding of God’s redemptive plan through the study of the bible, but they vary in length, focus, and intensity.

SBS is a 9-month school that focuses on deep study of all 66 books of the bible using the inductive approach, with a focus on interpreting and applying the bible to your life, then teaching others. It is the most intense.
BCC is a 3-month school that focuses on using the inductive approach to study 13-15 books of the bible, with the goal of giving you a really good biblical overview and the tools to continue studying the bible for yourself. You will have opportunities to study biblical themes and characters, and then learn how to teach others. Think condensed version of SBS.
DBS is a 3-month school that focuses on gaining a broad overview of God’s redemptive plan. You will read the entire bible together, identify biblical action principles, and apply it to your life; then you will learn to share with others. It is less intense.

We start the week by reading the book(s) that we will be studying in a group setting. Occasionally we will do that in some of the beautiful places around this island. We have guest speakers come in every week to teach us about the books that we are studying. In the afternoons there is plenty of time to work on weekly assignments. You should be expecting to spend 3-4 hours doing homework each day, to get the most out of the books that we study. On the last day of the week we take some time to share in small groups what God has been speaking to us through our study and the teachings. There are also corporate times of worship and prayer with our greater YWAM community here in Kona.
