School of the Scriptures Philosophy
Without knowledge of the Word of God, believers cannot be faithful or fruitful in their spiritual walk nor can they “draw nigh to God” as scripture admonishes them to do (James 4:8). Bible ignorance is epidemic and is a major cause of spiritual confusion, compromise and corruption among God’s people. The Apostle Paul prayed that believers would abound in a love for God and others based on knowledge and judgment (discernment). This can only happen as the heart and mind are immersed in the truth of the Bible.
The School of the Scriptures ministry was founded in 2010 as a means to nourish men, women and young people to a strong, healthy and useful Christian life. All of these courses of study are pursued from an unapologetic Biblicist, Baptist, separatist, literalist, TR position with the ultimate aim of learning, loving, and be loyal to the Word of God and the God of the Word.
SOS convenes in two semesters annually (Fall/Spring) meeting each Monday evening for twelve consecutive weeks. Normally three (3) courses are offered each semester. Students have the option to audit or credit courses and may pursue a four – year track of study earning a completed Community Baptist School of the Scriptures diploma.
Fall/Winter 2026 Class
Philippians & Eschatology
Monday, September 14 thru Monday, December 7
A verse-by-verse exposition of one of the Apostle Paul’s most beloved prison epistles. Historical and grammatical foundations will amplify the teachings of Paul as he works through his experiences of being confined for Christ. The nature and importance of the often-misunderstood doctrine of the kinosis, or emptying, of Christ will be carefully examined. In addition, the student will gain an understanding and relevance of Paul’s exhortation for like-mindedness as it relates to service and function in the local church.
Fiction writers, date setters, and sensationalists (even among Baptists) have distorted and twisted the priority and purpose of the prophetic Word. It is not unusual for sincere Bible teachers to appeal to human curiosity about the unseen, the unknown and the supernatural by outlining, extra-biblical “last days” phenomenon complete with speculative notions and apocalyptic predictions. Some churches and Christians embrace an evolving and defective eschatology formed more by cultural surroundings and current events rather than clear teachings of Scripture. Believers need to pursue and insist on a biblicist mindset regarding prophecy and a biblical lifestyle to match for the glory of God. Join us as we study the eschatological scriptures reaffirming the biblical teaching of the pre-tribulational Rapture of the saints.
