WORD BY HEART: GENESIS TO REVELATION
WORD BY HEART:
GENESIS TO REVELATION
This three-month Bible school will transform your life. You will know Jesus intimately. His Word will become a part of you. As you go deep, you will experience transformation, and as you pass it on, it will change the world.
Our goal is to know God by taking His Word deep into our hearts. The school will ground you in a complete overview of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. However, you won’t just study the Word; you will experience it. That experience will change you.
This school is training storytellers – bringing the words of Jesus to life by bridging cultures and languages – to have an understanding of the Bible as a whole.
OPEN WEEKS: Do the whole 12 weeks or come and join us for 1 – 3 open weeks! Maybe you are available for just a week or two, or maybe you want to have a taste of the school to see if it is for you? See more information in the tab below or on the specific page.
* There is no prerequisite (i.e. DTS is not required – although recommended)
Act like eyewitnesses to Jesus’ story, the greatest story ever told. Word By Heart helps you know Jesus personally and share him in a unique way by internalizing the Gospels and sharing them word-for-word with others. You’ll experience Him through your own imagination. It’ll be as if you were walking with him while he performed many miracles like healing the man with a withered hand.
Engaging with Jesus in this way will change you. Jesus lived the most impacting life ever lived. As you draw close to him, he will start to transform you. You will experience a surge of energy for him that will empower you to spread his good news everywhere.
The Word By Heart: Genesis to Revelation School meshes the three-month Word By Heart School and the Bible Core Curriculum requirements for a University of the Nations degree.
