“ Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself..”
Matthew 22:37-38

If Jesus said that loving Him and loving our neighbor is most important, we need to give our undivided attention to exactly what that means and how to do it. The Biblical Priorities online biblical leadership training course provides an in-depth look at the two most important commandments and explores the practical applications of loving God wholeheartedly and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Every follower of Jesus should endeavor to focus their lives and priorities around these two most important commandments.

Students who take the Biblical Priorities course will gain a deep and accurate understanding of the “love” commandments in biblical, historical, linguistic, and social contexts, be given practical tools to re-prioritize where necessary, and grow spiritually and practically in loving God and one’s neighbor.

The Biblical Priorities online biblical leadership training is appropriate for any spiritual maturity level, laying firm foundations for new believers, and challenging those that are mature in their faith to remain focused on what is most important.  This class meets once per week via the Zoom platform for lecture and discussion.  Lectures are recorded should students be unable to attend, but online virtual attendance is highly recommended.

The course is offered through the Fully Equipped Bible Institute, whose mission is to fully equip believers around the globe for the mission they have been called fulfill.
