Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute is dedicated to the proclamation of Scriptures as God's norm for life and Christian experience. For that purpose, we offer events that run throughout the year. Here are several of those events:
At a recent SMBI Sunday evening staff meeting, we engaged in several rounds of the Ungame. I was asked the question, “If you were to write an article, what would you title it?” The first thought that came to my mind was “Holiness for Dummies.” The first “for Dummies” book by Dan Gookin written in 1991 has mushroomed to include almost every conceivable topic including, Acne for Dummies, Fishing for Dummies (I wonder how many they have caught), Crosswords for Dummies and even A Little Bit of Everything for Dummies.
It is clear in both the Old and New Testaments that God wants to be known. When our heart beats with His with an intense desire to know Him, what a beautiful combination it is. Here are a few morsels to contemplate in your journey of discovery.
I’m one who does not like to face my fears. I don’t mind staying in my safety bubble where nothing can harm me. I never thought it was wrong to look at life this way. I always thought that it was just who I am and that if I don’t want to do something then I don’t have to do it. But this summer, as I went on WATER, I found out differently. My safety bubble ruptured one afternoon as I found myself perched on top of SMBI’s swing set. I stood there trembling, wondering how I would ever make it across the beam. After much encouragement from my teammates, I made it safely to the other side. Once my feet hit the ground, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I realized how much my fears held me back in life.
The course catalog, term calendar, course schedule, course offerings, handbook, instructors, and registration forms are updated for the 2014/2015 academic year.
The WATER program is a six week summer missions opportunity. It provides students with a first hand experience of mission work with the missionary as a teacher. There are still open opportunities, especially for men.
