“Heaven or Hell – God Is Not Playing”

Eternal Judgment

From Eden onward, humanity has been given a clear choice between eternal life and judgment. Sin brings death, and hell is a real and unsatisfied place of punishment prepared for the devil and his angels—not originally for mankind. Scripture teaches that hell involves levels of judgment, consciousness, memory, and torment. Because of this reality, believers must boldly and faithfully preach the truth, so that people may choose life in Christ and avoid eternal judgment.

The Dead
“Life Through Jesus Christ”

Resurrection of the Dead

Jesus’ death, resurrection, and the giving of the Spirit defeat sin, death, and fear, enabling believers to experience newness of life, participate in His resurrection, and receive eternal life. The goal of sanctification and perfection is for the whole body of Christ to grow and mature into the fulness of Christ, reflecting His character, love, and purpose in every area of life.

Laying on of Hands Part 2

Proper use of spiritual gifts requires the right intentions, doing things decently and in order, and operating in faith, guided by the Holy Ghost. To be used effectively by God, pastors must grow in faith, follow God’s timing, build the church on His Word, and prioritize God and His will over personal recognition or ambition.

Laying on of Hands

Spiritual gifts, administrations, and operations are given by the Holy Spirit to equip believers, with each gift serving the people of God and functioning differently through individuals, yet all working by the same Spirit according to God’s purpose, not human ability.

Baptism
“The Holy Ghost Gives You Power”

Spirit Baptism

The doctrine of baptisms teaches that salvation involves both water and Spirit baptism, each with distinct roles: water signifies obedience and repentance, while Spirit baptism fills and empowers the believer. These baptisms must follow the apostolic teaching and pattern from Acts, emphasizing faith, instruction, in Jesus’ name, and submission to God’s Word rather than personal methods.

God
“According to the Word of God”

Faith Toward God

True faith comes by hearing and understanding God’s Word—not by human opinion. As we grow in His Word, we should also grow in faith and put it into practice. God’s Word reveals His power—what He speaks will come to pass because He is faithful, and when our faith is aligned with His Word, it aligns us with His promises.

Action

“There Must Be Action”

Repentance

Godly repentance produces action! We must turn from sin, separate ourselves from anything that hinders our walk with God, and destroy whatever keeps us from His will. This active obedience is necessary to experience the fullness of all that He has prepared for us.

“The Principles of the Doctrine”

The Foundation

The foundation of the Christian faith is Jesus Christ, and all growth must be built on the first principles of repentance, faith, baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection, and eternal judgment—and yes, the order matters! A proper foundation ensures stability, guards against falling away, and encourages believers to build upon these principles rather than abandoning them.

“What Does the Bible Say?”

Communion and Dispensations

The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Jesus following the Passover to proclaim His death through the bread and the fruit of the vine, symbolizing His broken body and shed blood under the New Covenant. There is a proper way to observe this ordinance, which requires discerning its sacred meaning. In doing so, believers faithfully proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

“Do It God’s Way”

Controversies and Questions

God’s people must obey Him His way. This class explores Biblical answers on questions about the sons of God in Genesis 6, the languages in Genesis 10 and 11, unconditional eternal security, and communion. Scripture makes it clear that we have a choice—to remain faithful, bear fruit, live holy lives, and avoid anything that is not like Him.

The Reason for Iniquity and Sin

God’s design for how we should live is clear, and we cannot deviate from it. While the heart can lead us astray through pride, rebellion, or selfish desires, pastors are called to address sin, resist worldly compromise, and shepherd God’s people with truth and love.

“Purpose Not Title”

The Perfecting of the Saints

The five fold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—exists for the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, and the edifying of the body of Christ through the preaching and understanding of the Word. Jesus Himself operated in multiple ministries, showing that calling is about function, not title, and that faith, understanding, and proper teaching are key to spiritual growth and freedom from sin.

The Role of an Apostle, Bishop, and Pastor

Pastor Tim Harris teaches that apostles, bishops, and pastors were given for perfecting the saints. He challenges misconceptions about Christian perfection, showing believers can be perfect through the cross and baptism (Hebrew “tamim”). These ministry offices overlap in function, with the emphasis on doing the actual work rather than holding titles.

Fear vs. The Spirit of Faith
“Fear Not Nor Be Dismayed”

The Spirit of Fear vs. The Spirit of Faith

The effectiveness of preaching comes from studying and relying on the Word of God. Your faith must be in God and His Word, not in public approval or emotional appeal. Fear is destructive, while faith encourages, strengthens, and helps gifts be cultivated in the body of Christ.

“Don’t Judge by the Outward”

Dealing with Personalities

As leaders, encountering various personalities is inevitable—but the Bible addresses this as well. Jesus chose the twelve knowing who they were, and He chose to shape, correct, and empower them for His purpose. He met each one where they were, guiding them with patience and love, showing that effective leadership requires understanding, perseverance, and reliance on God’s Spirit.

The Job of a Pastor

Pastors, bishops, and elders share the responsibility of an overseer and are biblically called to lead and feed the children of God. Faithfulness in leadership is required as well as gentleness in leading, operating in love rather than force, pride, or personal ambition.

The Work of the Evangelist

This class focuses on the role and work of an evangelist which centers on preaching the gospel. We learn that although each office may carry a different message and approach, the overall mission remains the same. Serving in one office does not prevent someone from operating in another. The limitations we often recognize are not placed on us by God, but by ourselves. In addition, this class addresses how to deal with Black Hebrews.
