Introduction
Let’s begin by getting a broad overview of what this course is all about.
What is a signature, and how do we use this symbology for Bible study?
To test if anything harmonizes with God’s Word, there are a number of “signature” tests it must pass. Is God’s signature of Freedom signed on it?
Let’s learn to recognize this character trait of God, as presented in His Word.
We have seen God’s signature on:
Freedom &
Redemption
and now, let’s study what He offers to us, in overcoming.
In lecture 5, we dive into the theme of Victory.
No Signature study will be complete without looking at how God ensures that His free gifts, His gifts of freedom, His redemption, and grace to be victorious, is all offered without any coercion or force.
In this study, we look at the invitation to us to cooperate with Christ.
Here is a revision of the verses we covered under each Signature Theme. Be sure to do your own searches and studies of the different themes, to add to what we have shared in the videos.
Here we will wrap up this course with concluding points.
Once we know God’s signature, in other words, once we know His “trademark”… How do we apply that knowledge to the health and disease solutions that are presented in our modern day and age?
Can we trust God’s provision entirely?
You are invited. See what is coming next.
ReThink Mission is a 3 part course, designed to equip students with a solid foundation for their medical and health missionary work. We will study the Bible and then discuss practical applications for what we have learned.
The 3 parts include:
reThink the Signature (Part 1): we will learn how to identify “trademarks” of God’s law & His character, that set the gold standard for true mission work;
Mission Impossible (Part 2): we will identify how to apply the character traits (signature themes) from God’s Word, to health information and training material for missionaries; and
reThink in Action (Part 3): practical medical missionary training, incl understanding health care systems, basic nursing principles, and crucial anatomy/physiology/pathophysiology
The Signature Test (Part 1) will focus on the Bible studies that that help us see the 5 main Signature themes, i.e. Freedom, Redemption, Victory, Cooperation, and Preparation. Students are encouraged to keep their Bibles and note-pad handy for this study, and to review verses in their own time, as to study these topics out for themselves, and not just passively “accept” what is taught.
By the end of the three parts, students will have a solid foundation to build their missionary ministry on Biblical principles, in a way that is approved by (signed off) by God. To the law and the testimony… according to these principles, we can go forward to serve as workers in His army, obeying the great commission to go to all nations.
We wish you a blessed learning experience.
