Tennessee SOPAS

FEBRUARY 23-26, 2011 AT CAMP HICKORY HILLS

We are excited as the first School of Practical and Advanced Studies is planned for the state of Tennessee.  Each of the classes featured will be taught by seasoned, well-prepared instructors.

General Principles of Pastoral Leadership Development I will be taught by Bishop Mark Menke, a principle instructor for the International Center for Biblical Leadership.  I can honestly say that Mark is one of the “best” teachers I’ve studied under, and I believe his knowledge of the subject, sense of humor and genuine love for the Lord will make this class a memorable one.

 

Ecclesial Identity Church of God of Prophecy History and Polity I will be taught by Bishop Adrian Varlack, a principle instructor for the International Center for Biblical Leadership.  Bishop Varlack is no stranger to anyone who has been associated with the Church of God of Prophecy Internationally.  As a former World Mission Secretary (now known as Global Outreach Director) the work of the church was expanded and strengthened.  This is a man that I have the utmost of respect for and believe that his spiritual depth and genuine love will be evident.  Don’t miss this special time with Bishop Varlack.

 

Theology—Doctrinal Principles of the Church of God of Prophecy will be taught by Dr. Hector Ortiz, Director of the Center for Biblical Leadership.  Dr. Ortiz has been a strong proponent for educational development of our ministers, and has led by example in his own development, and the driving force for the Gordon Conwell Seminary Consortium implementation, the leader of leaders program for the Church of God of Prophecy.  Dr. Ortiz has also served as a Presiding Bishop of several states.  You will learn a new appreciation for our movement theology, and will be blessed by the anointed teaching and times of spiritual refreshing that often accompanies these classes.

I am convinced you will be blessed, encouraged and strengthened by the classes and the times of fellowship with your peers in ministry.  All classes include class handouts, lodging at the campground, all meals and snacks.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He
