The mission of the Leadership Training Center is to equip men and women to serve as laborers in the kingdom of God, offering quality biblical training that is affordable and accessible to all.

 

·       Discuss the different views of the timing of the Coming of the Lord.

 

1. Amillennialists believe that God's promises regarding the end times are figurative and will not be literally fulfilled, particularly the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth.

 

Pre-millennialists believe that Jesus Christ will return to the earth prior to His literal reign on the earth for 1000 years. Three groups of pre-millennialists include the following:

2. Post-tribulationists believe that the rapture will not occur until the end of the seven year tribulation, just prior to the beginning of the millennial kingdom.

3. Mid-tribulationists believe that the rapture will occur three and one half years into the tribulation, at beginning of the three and one half year great tribulation.

4. Pre-tribulationists believe that the rapture will occur prior to the seven year tribulation, but not necessarily immediately before the tribulation.

 

 

·       Review the events surrounding the Last Supper.

a.     Discuss Eucharist and Passover – Communion

1 Corinthians 11:27-29

(27)  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

(28)  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

(29)  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

b.    Prophecy of Judas betraying him (dips bread)

 

Psalms 41:9

(9)  Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

 

     Matthew 27:9-10

(9) Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one whose price had been set by the people of Israel, (10)  And they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

 

 

 

·       Explain the major events involved in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus.

a.     High Priest mock Him

Matthew 26:62-69

(62)  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

(63)  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

(64)  Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

(65)  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

(66)  What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

(67)  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

(68)  Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

(69)  Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

Matthew 27:46-47

(46)  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

(47)  Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

 

 

Psalms 22:1

(1)  To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

 

Psalms 22:8-22

(8)  He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

(9)  But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

(10)  I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

(11)  Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

(12)  Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

(13)  They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

(14)  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

(15)  My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

(16)  For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

(17)  I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

(18)  They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

(19)  But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

(20)  Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

(21)  Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

(22)  I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

·       Discuss the theological truths expressed through the account of the Transfiguration. (Discussed in detail in Lesson 1)

 

·       Identify and explain the “Great Commandment” as identified by Jesus, as well as the Second Commandment.

Mark 12:28-37

(28)  And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

(29)  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

(30)  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

(31)  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

(32)  And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

(33)  And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

(34)  And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

(35)  And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

(36)  For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

(37)  David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

 

Psalms 110:1

(1)  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

 

Acts 2:25-39

(25)  For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

(26)  Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

(27)  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

(28)  Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

(29)  Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,  that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

(30)  Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

(31)  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

(32)  This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

(33)  Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

(34)  For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

(35)  Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

(36)  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

(37)  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

(38)  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

(39)  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

 

 

·       Review the Crucifixion along with the events leading up to and following it.

 

Mark 15:37-39

(37)  And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

(38)  And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

(39)  And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

 

Mark 16:15-20

(15)  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

(16)  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

(17)  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

(18)  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

(19)  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

(20)  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
