GENERAL BIBLE
GB 101-Basic Bible Doctrine
{upgraded workbook} Is it time to get
"back to the basics"? This course covers important Bible doctrines
including the attributes of God, the person and work of Christ, the
ministry of the Holy Spirit; and teachings regarding man, Satan, angels,
the church, and end time events. Added emphasis on Christian living.
No matter how long you've been a Christian, we believe you will learn
something from this course. Every believer should have a working understanding
of these core doctrines.
GB 125-The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with the Father and with
the Son in the Godhead. He is not an "it" nor an undefined
"spirit just floating out there". Believers are sealed and
indwelt by the Spirit, sanctified with the Spirit, and filled with the
Spirit. The student will enjoy this inspiring and balanced look at the
attributes and work of the Third Person of the Godhead. Theodore Epp's
research is firmly grounded in Biblical truth.
GB 127 Christ’s Second Coming
"Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an
hour when ye think not." Luke 12:40. There are more than 300
verses in the New Testament remind us that Jesus is coming again! The
second coming of Jesus Christ is the blessed hope of every Christian.
The certainty of the event has frequently been diminished or distorted.
The event is unique to Christianity. The event gives a joy that is only
available to believers and strikes fear in the hearts of nonbelievers.
Few Bible subjects raise as many questions and speculations as the second
coming of Christ. Lee Roberson, Hugh Pyle and others give a careful,
verse-by-verse exploration of this important and interesting topic.
GB 202-Key Words of the Christian Life
{upgraded workbook} A doctrinal word
study based on the work of Warren Wiersbe covering such topics as justification,
adoption, regeneration, propitiation, imputation, sanctification, reconciliation,
redemption, intercession, mediation, predestination, and glorification.
This course is designed to deepen the student's walk with Christ.
GB 205-Present Labor & Future Rewards
When will we be judged? How does God chasten believers? Is sickness
a result of sin? What kind of rewards will believers receive? How can
I be sure of receiving a Crown? This course answers questions like these,
as well as others frequently asked about future judgment and preparation
for it. Based on the research of Theodore H. Epp.
GB 211-Basic Theology
What is Theology? Who is the God of the Bible? Is He actively involved
in today’s world? Does He know all about me? What does the Bible
say about the Trinity? This course gives scriptural answers to these
and other questions, using the insight of R.A. Torrey and others.
GB 222-Bible and Prayer
{upgraded workbook} A rewarding study
about prayer in the life of the believer. Includes 30 aspects of prayer
such as: the purpose of prayer, the preparation for prayer, the power
of prayer, private prayer, public prayer, and the perfect prayer. Added
emphasis from the pen of Dr. R.G. Lee. This course consistently receives
high reviews from Patriot students.
GB 301-Bible Times and Customs
Knowing Oriental manners and customs is basic to understanding the
Bible. This course deals with subjects such as customs at mealtime,
education of youth, trades and professions, customs regarding marriage
and property, along with many more.
GB 302-God of All Comfort
Every day, we see people facing hardship, pain, and trials. Increasingly
we hear reports of natural disasters, media reports on war and terrorism.
Individuals are being overcome with depression, fear, and bouts of anxiety.
With the God of all comfort, believers can experience joy and peace
while they rest in the Lord. God has said that He will fight our battles
for us. Hannah Whitall Smith encourages Christians to become better
acquainted with God and to experience all He has for us.
GB 311 Eternal Security
Can
salvation be lost or is it truly eternal? How does the minister assure
a doubting but repentant believer? How does the “unpardonable sin”
fit into this discussion? One of the oldest New Testament arguments
is “grace vs. Works”. It continues today—even within
God’s kingdom. This course gives the believer a comprehensive Biblical
teaching on whether salvation can be lost once received. Charles Stanley
and Curtis Hutson provide the teaching that could revolutionize the
joy of your faith. A Biblical understanding of this topic will give
the minister a powerful evangelistic and disciple-making tool.
GB 331-Key Chapters of the Bible
The Bible is chock full of valuable truths, life lessons, and history.
Where does one start? It is a book that is read over a lifetime. Reading
key chapters will give the Christian an excellent overview of God's
letter to man. This course investigates 73 selected chapters from the
Bible. Each chapter relates to a specific subject that will benefit
students of God's Word.
GB 402-Understanding the Personality of God
This course, based on the writing of R.A. Torrey, will help any Christian
nurture and develop a better relationship with God. Get to know God's
attributes, His power, His love, His forgiveness, and His great mercy,
all of which He longs to share with you.
GB 403-America in Bible Prophecy
Is America Babylon the Great? Is America the unnamed nation in Isaiah
18? Will the AntiChrist rise from the United States? What does the Bible
tell us about the role of the United States in the end times? Author
Mark Hitchcock addresses some of the hottest questions regarding America
in Bible prophecy
GB 405-Christian Warfare
{upgraded workbook} The Christian life
is a warfare, not a picnic. We’re called to be soldiers, and this
course identifies our enemies, shows how we should fight, and describes
the conditions for victory. Authors and prayer warriors E.M. Bounds,
J.Vernon McGee, and Roy C. Putnam share Biblical teachings on the Christian's
most potent weapon - prayer. If there is one area where all Christians
need to improve, it is prayer.
GB 411-God's Wonderful Promises
A valuable study of God's promises for personal strength, daily
provisions, Divine protection, and inner peace. This course also utilizes
The Bible Promise Book which contains more than 1,000 promises
from the Bible.
GB 412-God’s Presence in Your Life
The presence of God in the life of believers gives full access to the
power of God for our lives. Christians are to be temples of the living
God. In this course, Adrian Rogers explains how Christians can make
this truth a living reality and start to fully enjoy the sweetness of
their salvation. He also clears up common misconceptions about what
it means to have God residing within believers, and takes students back
to the Old Testament to show how the tabernacle and temple were visual
models of God’s desire to dwell among His people.

OLD TESTAMENT
OT 101-Old Testament Survey I
OT 102-Old Testament Survey II
OT 103-Old Testament Survey III
OT 104-Old Testament Survey IV
OT 105-Old Testament Survey V
Any higher Biblical education is not complete without an
Old Testament Survey course. These five courses survey the content,
history and customs of the Old Testament. Many Christians wrongly believe
that the Old Testament contains nothing relevant for today. It is almost
treated as a separate document that is ignored or treated as a dead
history. In truth, the Old Testament points to Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself
said that He came not to abolish the OT but to fulfill it. Bible students
must know the OT to fully understand the New Testament.
OT 203-Book of Ruth
J.Vernon McGee leads this study on the Romance of Redemption. Is
there any more memorable statement of faith than Ruth's "..thy
people shall be my people, and thy God shall be my God."? This
woman of faith lost her husband and came out of the idolatrous land
of Moab only to be remarried to Boaz. We have much to learn from this
ancestor in the line of Jesus our Lord. Redemption is only possible
through a Kinsman-Redeemer. The student will gain a fuller appreciation
of our Redeemer - Jesus Christ.
OT 205-Book of Nehemiah
It has been said, "If every Christian would study and follow
the inspiring example of Nehemiah, surely we would enjoy a genuine,
refreshing revival of faith and morality". The Book of Nehemiah
abounds with wisdom for church policies and guidance. Nehemiah's leadership
serves as a Biblical primer to anyone aspiring to places of leadership.
The student will learn of Biblical social justice, the call to national
repentance, and how righteousness exalteth a nation. A 2400 year old
lesson that has never been more needed in our nation's history.
OT 207-Book of Esther
God’s hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people
is evident throughout the Book of Esther, though His name does not appear
even once. In this study, J. Vernon McGee helps us understand some of
the riches and valuable lessons from this great story.
OT 213-Christ in the Tabernacle
Theodore Epp reveals how Christ is portrayed in every aspect of the
tabernacle God commanded Moses to build. Learn about the rich symbolism
of this structure and its relevance to our personal worship of God through
Christ. The Old Testament points to Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
The tabernacle in the Old Testament is but one place that points to
the Messiah. (Plan A Price $ 23; Plan B Price
$ 103)
OT 311-Psalms Course I
The book of Psalms is the very heartbeat of God's Word. J.Vernon
McGee says, "There is a more complete picture of Christ in Psalms
than in the Gospels." A strong claim indeed! Psalms discusses
every spiritual and psychological experience possible to man. The collection
has been called not only an anatomy of the soul but a mirror that shows
us the truth about sorrow, love, grief, peace, fear, doubt, hope, cares,
faith, worries, and stress. The student's appreciation of Psalms will
abound even before finishing this course.
OT 314-Psalm 23
Shepherd Phillip Keller shares his insights into the life and character
of sheep--and of the Good Shepherd who loves and cares for them. David,
the "Shepherd King" and son of a shepherd, wrote Psalm 23
from humble origins with teaching couched in rural terms. Today's urban
city dweller is often unfamiliar with David's physical illustrations
which relate spiritual truth in this most beloved Psalm. This course
is sure to open the student's understanding of Psalm 23 like never before.
Oliver B. Greene and Robert S. Peterson round out the instruction in
this much appreciated course.
OT 315-Proverbs
“Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.”
This is one of the many profound insights J.Vernon McGee offers in his
commentary on the book of Proverbs. During this study you will gain
the tools of interpretation needed to dig out the spiritual treasures
of God’s wisdom found in Proverbs. The diligent student is given
a promise from God to understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge
of God.
OT 321-Song of Solomon
The Song is a righteous antidote to a licentious society that has
prostituted the sared nature of human love. Hope exudes from these pages.
If ever a book was written with a message more salient for a later generation,
Solomon's ode is that book!
OT 401 Study of Daniel
Today's society is a good deal like the one Daniel lived in centuries
ago. The world still wants God's people to conform to its standards
and follow its practices. The Book of Daniel teaches the joy of building
godly character in the difficulties of life, how to overcome the “world”,
the importance of daily discipline in the Word of God and prayer, and
how to be a “transformer” rather than a conformer. The Lord
is searching for men and women who will do what's right in His eyes
and dare to be resolute. Will you be among them? This course will equip
the Patriot student to Be Resolute.
OT 404-Ecclesiastes
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under heaven". King Solomon penned these infamous words. Warren
Wiersbe expounds on Solomon's discourse on all that is "under the
sun". Ecclesiastes delves into many of the questions we wrestle
with today; is life worth living, why does it seem life isn't fair,
what about the wicked, what life is all about, and more. After studying
the book of Ecclesiastes with accompanying text "Be Satisfied",
the student will be equipped to answer the deeper questions seekers
and skeptics ask. Your faith will not remain the same.
OT 411 Book of 1 Samuel
David was a man after God's own heart. Wiersbe's fascinating study of
1 Samuel examines how this made David a true success. The powerful narrative
of 1 Samuel helps us to understand how character and greatness is developed,
and how it is not. May the Lord find our heart's searching after His!
OT 431-Minor Prophets
Prosperity, moral laxity, ritualistic worship, corrupt government,
and wide class distinctions—a description of current times—describe
the issues during the times of the Minor Prophets. The lives and messages
of these 12 prophets provide some of the Bible’s most colorful
stories. God used them as his voice to their generation. As each prophet
received revelation from God, they were bound by a compelling burden
to deliver their message—come what may. Often, their very lives
became the message. From being swallowed by a great fish to being told
by God to marry a prostitute to prophesying the coming Messiah, the
Antichrist, and the End Times—God spoke through these men.

NEW TESTAMENT
NT 131 Gospel of Mark
J.Vernon McGee is quoted as saying, "There is probably more
content in the first chapter of Mark than any other chapter in the Bible."
Mark reveals that in spite of Jesus' busy life, He took time to pray.
This verse by verse, chapter by chapter exploration spans Mark's recounting
of the prophecies of Isaiah and Malachi through John the Baptist ending
with the Resurrection of Jesus. Have you studied this Gospel?
NT 205-Christ's Words from the Cross
This unique and rewarding study discusses the seven utterances Christ
spoke while on the Cross. Russell Bradley Jones and Warren Wiersbe have
researched them in-depth and present them here. Each utterance of Christ
is packed with meaning and purpose.These last words were not the cry
of a defeated victim, but the proclamation of a triumphant Victor.
NT 211-I Corinthians
The study of this New Testament epistle will help believers discern
the difference between man’s knowledge and God’s wisdom.
In his commentary, Warren Wiersbe points out that Corinth was not much
different from our world today; it was populous, proud, prosperous,
philosophical and polluted. And the Corinthian church had its share
of problems, but God in His wisdom had the answer . . . just as He does
for us today!
NT 221-Revelation
A captivating study of future events as portrayed in the greatest
book of prophecy including the rapture, great tribulation, millennium,
Great White Throne Judgment, and the new heaven and earth. This course
takes a pre-tribulation and premillennial viewpoint. God promises a
special blessing for those who read, hear and treasure the words found
in the Book of Revelation. The world has never been closer to these
end time events. Are you ready?
NT 304-I Peter
Using your Bible and commentary by Warren Wiersbe, the study of
this New Testament book shows believers how to be hopeful and triumphant,
no matter what trials we may face. We can prepare for the best of God’s
blessings even if the world attempts to overwhelm us with fears and
the worst of man’s hatred.
NT 311-Book of Hebrews
E.Schuyler English is quoted by J.Vernon McGee as saying, "The
Epistle to the Hebrews, one of the most important books of the New Testament
in that it contains some of the chief doctrines of the Christian faith,
is, as well, a book of infinite logic and great beauty. To read it is
to breathe the atmosphere of heaven itself. To study it is to partake
of strong spiritual meat. To abide in its teachings is to be led from
immaturity to maturity in the knowledge of Christian truth and of Christ
Himself. It is to 'go on unto perfection'." We agree.
NT 312-I, II & III John & Jude
Using the commentary by J.Vernon McGee as the study guide,
these four epistles combine to deliver a very rewarding course. Ephesus
at the beginning of the second century was much like your city or hometown
today. There was familiarity with Christianity but the newness had worn
off. The Ephesians had become "assembly-line" Christians filled
with compromise. The definitions of God, that He is Love, Light, and
Life draw the student into a deeper understanding of our Father in heaven.
The epistle of Jude anchors this study with his call to awareness of
the coming apostasy.
NT 316-Colossians
The All-Sufficient Christ by Theodore Epp illuminates the spiritual
truths that are packed into the book of Colossians. Often overlooked
because it is relatively short, Colossians demonstrates that Christ
is all a Believer needs. This course emphasizes not only Biblical doctrine,
it refutes false teaching and shows the Christian how to live based
on sound doctrine. The student will gain a greater realization of what
the Bible means when it says, "Christ in you, the hope of glory"
(Col 1.27).
NT 401-Book of Philippians
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" is Paul's
fully surrendered statement of faith. Theodore Epp and J. Vernon McGee
discuss how Christ is preeminent in all things and how we can see Him
as our life, our mind, our goal and our strength.
NT 402-Seven Churches of Revelation
The last word of our Lord to the church is not the Great Commission.
Rather it was “Repent”. This course is a Message on Revival.
Indeed, five out of the seven churches were called to repent. Jesus’
admonition of repentance is purposed towards overcoming backsliding.
He promises divine rewards for he that overcomes. The minister will
find much insight for individual and corporate revival. Today’s
church does well to heed the advice given to the Seven Churches of Revelation.
NT 405-Pastoral Epistles
In this study of 1-2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon, Warren Wiersbe
emphasizes that nothing takes the place of faithfulness. The greatest
ability you can have is dependability. This course will help you understand
a local church’s ministry and encourage you to be faithful to
the Word, to your tasks and to other people.
NT 406 1 & 2 Thessalonians
In this course, Warren W. Wiersbe shows how a study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians
provides both prophetical and practical lessons. The focus in these
books is not on what the return of Jesus Christ will mean to us in the
future. Rather, it is on how this subject can be a dynamic in our lives
and in the ministry of our churches today.
NT 408 Book of Romans
Understanding the Book of Romans can give a key to understanding the
rest of the Bible. It can also provide the key to successful Christian
living. In this course, Warren W. Wiersbe introduces you to the main
message of this great epistle, and how it applies to your life today.

CC 205-Debt-Free Living
Debt has dominated the financial direction of our society over the
past sixty years. Countless families give the false impression of being
wealthy while drowning in a sea of debt. Nearly 80% of divorced couples
between the ages of 20-30 report that financial problems were the primary
cause of their marital breakdown. In this course, Larry Burkett gives
resources to help learn what God has to say about debt and how to achieve
a life that is debt free.
CC 222-Basic Principles of Biblical Counseling
A study showing the responsibility of the local church to provide a
Biblical approach in dealing with the emotional problems that trouble
Christians today. Attention is given to understanding a person's deepest
needs, the origin of individual problems, and the need for personal
accountability.
CC 225-The Gift of Forgiveness
In this course Dr. Charles Stanley shares the specifics of how to receive
God’s forgiveness, and addresses such issues as how to practice
a life of forgiveness in terms of relationships and how to make forgiveness
an ongoing, practical experience. Helping others deal with unforgiveness
and bitterness is one of the most important tasks Christian counselors
face today.
CC 311 - Counseling the Bereaved
Ministering
to the grief of those left behind following the death of a loved one
is never an easy task. Our world is growing more complicated, the challenges
are becoming greater, and the situations people face, more intense.
This practical course uses insight from Warren and David Wiersbe to
provide a comprehensive and scriptural resource for pastors and church
leaders who counsel people who mourn. It shows how to comfort people
through the grieving process and how to minister in a wide variety of
situations to those who are dealing with death.
CC 312—God’s Strength for Life’s Journey
What
do you do with the bumps on the path of life? Climb on them. God doesn’t
remove the stones and straighten the path because the bumps are what
you can climb on! If you are carrying emotional baggage, you’ll
need to set it down to climb. Else it will weigh you down with guilt,
pain, and inner suffering. Emotional baggage becomes bondage. Jesus
came to proclaim liberty to the captives and set at liberty those who
are oppressed. Learn how to receive and use God’s strength for
the journey of life. Become equipped to guide others in their discovery
of liberty in Christ. Dr. Charles Stanley and Warren Wiersbe divide
the Biblical principles for this course.
CC 322-Marriage Counseling
A course designed to help counselors give good Biblical advice for couples
having problems with their relationships. Emphasis is given to the goal
of marriage, the meeting of personal needs, and the foundational building
blocks for an enduring and successful marriage.

A comprehensive, Christ-centered approach to competence in Biblical
counseling, as taught by Jay Adams.
CC 402-Biblical View of Suicide
Presenting Scriptural answers for both the suicidal and for those suffering
its aftermath, this course provides a useful resource for counseling
with people who may be affected by this issue.
CC 405-Handling Adversity
This course is based on How to Handle Adversity by Charles
Stanley. When troubles come, we usually ask why. But the more
significant question is "How should I respond?" This
course can help you personally and can provide a Biblical resource for
you in counseling with others
