How To Use

 

Introduction

The Online School of the Word is an audio-based study of the Word of God, based on recorded messages by ministry founder, Dr. Alan Gordon.  These messages have been organized by Scriptural reference and have been processed into one-half hour segments or 'parts'.  In some cases, a message may be used in two different levels, where both its primary and secondary scripture references justify using the same message to cover two scriptural areas.  Where there are two or three parts to a message, the individual part can be selected by clicking on the appropriate 'Part' number to the side of the message title.  Where no parts are noted, the message is fully contained in one segment.

Real Audio

The use of the Online School of the Word requires Real Audio Software to be installed on your workstation. If you do not have Real Audio™ or Real Audio Plus™, just go to the Real Audio Web Site, and then simply return here when you are ready. The audio messages segments are all one-half hour in length with most messages consisting of two, one-half hour parts.

Individual Use

The Online School of the Word is intended to bring the anointed preaching and teaching of the New Testament into your home or office so that you can listen to and study God’s Word at your own pace. You can choose the level that you wish to start and proceed, as you will. You can repeat messages or even sections of a message. It is exactly like having the full set of cassettes available to you, only we handle the storage and organization – and best of all, ITS FREE.

Group Use

The Online School of the Word is also intended to be used in small group meetings, much as you might use a normal audio or video tape. Using the Real Audio software, the message can be paused for discussion or even for translation, if necessary.
