How are the prophetic books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi relevant to our lives and world today? These are the last three prophets before Christ was born 400 years later. This is a study of the so-called “Restoration Prophets” in their historical, theological and prophetic development. The class will look at understanding the main message of each book and its relevance to us today through an expository study.

NT535 A Study of Romans: Sola Fide—By Faith Alone—the Birth of Reformation (2 Credits)
Tuesdays: 7.00 pm-9.15 pm
The 500th anniversary of the Reformation was celebrated in 2017. Martin Luther posted a manuscript in 1517, commonly named as the Ninety-Five Theses, which restated the doctrine that salvation rested on faith alone (sola fide) in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone. Luther came to that conviction by studying Romans. Would you like to study the book that transformed him and gave birth to the Protestant faith?
Come and learn from the teacher Dr Andrew Spurgeon who has published a commentary on Romans among other published works.
Andrew B. Spurgeon, PhD
Andrew has taught in seminaries in Asia since 1996. He has published commentaries on 1 Corinthians and Romans, edited a book on Christian Services, and written several articles in peer-reviewed theological journals. He serves as the Chairman of Publications for Asia Theological Association and as a New Testament editor for Asia Bible Commentary Series.

Blessed Advent 2017
What about Christmas that it is marked as a time of joy? Some said it’s not the presents, but His presence. Who is He and why is it so? “He” is Jesus Christ, whom the Bible identified as the Son of God and was born on earth as a baby on that first Christmas. The Bible records the fulfillment of the prophesied Saviour in Him as the One who would later die as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. Christmas to Christians is therefore a looking back at that momentous time when it heralded the birth of the Saviour of the world.
Dr James A. Francis (1864–1928) summarized the impact made by the life of Christ in what is later commonly entitled as “One Solitary Life”:[1]
Let us turn now to the story. A child is born in an obscure village. He is brought up in another obscure village. He works in a carpenter shop until he is thirty, and then for three brief years is an itinerant preacher, proclaiming a message and living a life. He never writes a book. He never holds an office. He never raises an army. He never has a family of his own. He never owns a home. He never goes to college. He never travels two hundred miles from the place where he was born. He gathers a little group of friends about him and teaches them his way of life. While still a young man, the tide of popular feeling turns against him. One denies him; another betrays him. He is turned over to his enemies. He goes through the mockery of a trial; he is nailed to a cross between two thieves, and when dead is laid in a borrowed grave by the kindness of a friend.
Those are the facts of his human life. He rises from the dead. Today we look back across nineteen hundred years and ask, What kind of trail has he left across the centuries? When we try to sum up his influence, all the armies that ever marched, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned are absolutely picayune in their influence on mankind compared with that of this one solitary life…
