Through the Bible Teacher's Guide
Make Bible survey relevant, enjoyable and life-changing by allowing God to speak directly to each student each week. This book provides a host of suggestions for the teacher so that class time can be a fun, interactive application of the portion of Scripture that the student has worked through during the previous week.
Additional Classroom Tools
Designed to be used in conjunction with The Serendipity Bible and our videos or audios by Dr. Andrew Hardy, you will find a balance of authoritative teaching, intelligent class discussion, and personal application and journaling in each class period. Recommended class length for use of all suggestions is two and one-half hours.
Rev. Maurice Fuller - Former Senior Pastor of Queen’s Park Full Gospel Church
"Through the Bible is not a detailed study of the Scriptures. It is a survey, an overview, the Bible at a glance. It is a brief picture of the unfolding of God’s revelation from creation to consummation. Mark Virkler’s unique approach to Bible Survey, the use of graphs or charts for the Bible and for each book is a particularly effective overview of God’s revelation throughout Bible history. The Discussion Questions sections not only allow the students to zero in on important incidents and lessons from each book but also the opportunity to hear what the Spirit is saying to them personally."

We learn more quickly if we are surrounded by others who are seeking to master the same skill. Pray and ask God who you know who might want to grow in this truth also and open your home to them for 10-12 weekly sessions (or host a small group in your church). We provide several resources to help you present this powerfully and effectively in a group setting, including DVDs and application activities.

Coaching or discipling is the method Jesus used to train the twelve disciples.
When you team up with someone ahead of you in an area to mentor you, and you share your questions and steps of growth with them, receiving their counsel in return, you ascend more quickly into mastery in that area. We have trained coaches who have mastered this topic who will commit to working with you for a 90-day period.

Mark, every word you speak, every thought you think, every picture you imagine, and every belief you hold which is contrary to Scripture takes you backward rather than forward because it is evil, sinful, and wrong (see Jeremiah 7:24 KJV).

I have spent two weeks exploring the Greek words for "heretic" and "heresy." I used e-Sword extensively. As a result of this meditative study, my perception of heretics and heresy was greatly altered.
The 44-minute video below allows you to journey alongside me during these two weeks, trying to understand what the Bible teaches about heretics and heresy. My views were so profoundly changed, I decided these two words should be tossed out of my vocabulary completely! It was unbelievable to me that it took me so long to sort through my confusion and completely re-adjust my thinking and the pictures in my mind.
So the video below walks you through the way I used e-Sword to help me discover a new way of looking at these two Greek words. I hope that it will train you how you can use e-Sword to do your in-depth research and come away with new enlightenment from the Holy Spirit on a topic. Lord, reveal!

So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. (2 Pet. 1:19)
