The Faith of Abraham

A refreshing  and incisive “grand teaching tour” of the nature and meaning  of faith. The course follows Abraham’s steps of faith from his call in Ur to God’s test of his faith that earned him the title of the “Father of Our Faith” (Rom. 4:11). Understanding faith through the eyes of Abraham teaches us how true faith and true foibles can coexist in us all-too-human beings, and how grace alone enables us to walk as overcomers despite those flaws, sins and weakness to which the flesh is heir. This class is available for Zoom participants also. Please contact the college at (504) 340-6739 for details.


  1. •Thursday, 7:00 p.m - 9:30 p.m. Westbank Campus

                                                               Koinonia Commerical

Koinonia Bible College is always

looking for new instructors. If you or

anyone you know is interested in

teaching for us, please call

David Rodriguez at 504-340-6739.


Koinonia is the Greek word for

fellowship. We feel this best describes

the philosophy of our school: to strengthen

the Body of Christ by utilizing each

believer’s gift to the edification of all.

                       

                                            First book written by Pastor David Rodriguez

                                             

                                                From the back cover


                                                THE BOOK OF JOB contains some of the most profound questions that can

                                                be asked. These questions go far beyond the interactions between the

                                                principal players: Job, his counselors, God, and Satan. In this book, Questions

                                                from Job, we will examine such issues as:


                                                The origin of evil

                                                The purpose of trials

                                                The concept of Legalism

                                                The justice of God

                                                The purpose of life

                                                Can God be influenced?

                                                The source of wisdom

                                                Dealing with Satan


                                                All these issues will be addressed from a biblical perspective. Job had

                                                questions. We have questions. As we face the trials and disappointments that

                                                come our way in life, we frequently ask “Why?” This book is an attempt to

                                                answer some of life’s most challenging questions. Together we will examine

                                                Questions from Job.

KBC Banquet

Our 30th annual banquet


              

                                                                                          From the back cover


                                                                                          In his latest book, The Lord’s Supper: What It Is and        

                                                                                          What It’s Not, David Rodriguez examines some of

                                                                                          the claims made for the Eucharist celebration, such

                                                                                          as:

                                                                                         

                                                                                          Administering grace 

                                                                                          Providing eternal life

                                                                                          Imparting forgiveness for sins

                                                                                          Furnishing the presence of Christ

                                                                                          Repeating the sacrifice of Christ


                                                                                          We also explore the difference traditions regarding

                                                                                          the sacraments and, more importantly, the basis

                                                                                          upon which these traditions are established. The

                                                                                          author addresses these issues from the perspective

                                                                                          that the Scriptures are the only infallible guide to

                                                                                          Christian doctrine and that the primary source of

                                                                                          church doctrine must be the teachings of Christ

                                                                                          and His apostles. The reader should be prepared

                                                                                          to have some of his or her deeply held religious

                                                                                          teachings challenged by the word of God.
