Ecclesiology: The Doctrine of the Church
This is a subject that is almost uniquely close to the heart of God and therefore should be close to our hearts as well. Given how important the Church is to God we will not be surprised to discover that he has a great deal to say about the Church in the Scriptures. The individual believer and the local congregation of believers that wants to grow in Christ-likeness and spiritual maturity will be the believer and congregation that brings themselves under the authoritative teaching of God’s Word and seeks to live in as close conformity to it as possible.

“Every earthly pilgrim ought faithfully…to love Jesus Christ, the Lord, the bridegroom of that church, and also the church herself, his bride.”
Jan Huss

Pneumatology: The Doctrine of The Holy Spirit
A Christian may not always be conscious of the Holy Spirit’s presence, but he would not even be a Christian in his absence.
JOHN BLANCHARD

For many years the person and work of the Holy Spirit was a neglected study, which is why he is sometimes called “The Forgotten God” (Francis Chan). As a result, the study of the Holy Spirit has become associated with controversy and marred by confusion.
Nevertheless, the Christian life is a spiritual life, because the Holy Spirit should be at the heart of our daily Christian experience. There is no Christian life apart from the presence, power and resources of the Holy Spirit. This course will seek to teach clearly the biblical truths about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, while also dealing with the areas of controversy and confusion.
Classes are held over zoom, making them accessible to ANYONE, wherever they live. They start on Wednesday 19th April and run over 9 Wednesday mornings between 11.00am and 1.00pm. Your course tutor is Pastor John Brand, EBC’s Director of Training.
