Course Description:
Uncommon Life was written from personal experience by Dr. Tolbert.
Realizing that born-again believers wee dying like any other person just didn’t make sense knowing what the Word says in relation to the Last Supper. Communion was to be done in remembrance of Christ. What did Christ do? He didn’t die for me, but as me!
The insights that the student will experience during this course study are as follows:
• Identify; Who you are in Christ on a daily basis
• Significance; Your value to the Godhead
• Health/Wellness; Because of the finished work of Christ, you’re whole
The student will walk away with a whole new outlook on their life and have the boldness to share this new experience with the world. Uncommon means that it is not common and Jesus was outstanding at doing uncommon things. This is a must course study.
