Berea Baptist Church

Bringing the Bible to the heart and home....


The Homebuilders class titled “The Seven Handfuls of Purpose”, was originally designed to minister to home education families, and is a fast paced, dynamic, seven-week course to strengthen the family by teaching the principles of an individual’s walk with God, with each other, with the community and with the Church.  The premise of the class is that God created an order for three great institutions the home, the government, and the church, in which He would lead His people to a closer walk with Himself and have harmony with one another.  Since 1997 over 2,300 people have attended the Homebuilder series of classes, taught by Pastor Napier, at Berea Baptist Church.

After registration, enrollees receive a Bible, Homebuilder Workbook and Study Helps.  Classes are once a week for seven weeks, with each nightly class lasting approximately two and one half hours. To successful receive credit for the class, the enrollee must attend at least six of the seven classes and have achieved a composite average score of 70% or higher on the seven homework lessons.

The Purpose of the Class

 

The Premise for the class is embodied in the class name, "The Seven Handfuls of Purpose."

 

The theme of our study, "Handfuls of Purpose" is taken from the book of Ruth, chapter 2, verse 16; "And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not."

 

This seven week series teaches Bible principles of the purpose that God has for each one of us. The class endeavors to provide the students and their familes with truths that will strengthen them as individuals, as well as strengthening their homes, churches, and communities.
