Bible Core Course on Location

Understand God’s word and apply His timeless, transformational truth to your life

about the course

Have you ever wanted to read the whole Bible but felt stuck or confused? You’re not alone. Many people start reading, but by Leviticus, they lose interest because it can be hard to understand. That’s because the Bible was not written to us, but for us. To truly grasp it, we need to study it in its original context. In the Bible Core Course on Location (BCCOL), we combine immersive Bible study with travel to the lands where Scripture was written. By exploring the historical, cultural, and geographical context of God’s Word, you’ll gain deeper insights into the stories, poetry, letters, and teachings of the Bible, including studying the Scriptures in some of the places where it was originally written.

FAQS

All of these schools are bible courses that will give you an understanding of God’s redemptive plan through the study of the bible, but they vary in length, focus, and intensity.

SBS is a 9-month school that focuses on deep study of all 66 books of the bible using the inductive approach, with a focus on interpreting and applying the bible to your life, then teaching others. It is the most intense.
BCC is a 3-month school that focuses on using the inductive approach to study 13-15 books of the bible, with the goal of giving you a really good biblical overview and the tools to continue studying the bible for yourself. You will have opportunities to study biblical themes and characters, and then learn how to teach others. Think condensed version of SBS.
DBS is a 3-month school that focuses on gaining a broad overview of God’s redemptive plan. You will read the entire bible together, identify biblical action principles, and apply it to your life; then you will learn to share with others. It is less intense.

We start the week by reading the book(s) that we will be studying in a group setting. Occasionally we will do that in some of the beautiful places around this island. We have guest speakers come in every week to teach us about the books that we are studying. In the afternoons there is plenty of time to work on weekly assignments. You should be expecting to spend 3-4 hours doing homework each day, to get the most out of the books that we study. On the last day of the week we take some time to share in small groups what God has been speaking to us through our study and the teachings. There are also corporate times of worship and prayer with our greater YWAM community here in Kona.
