Teaching Biblical Counseling Principles at San Francisco Bible Church, San Francisco, California

Abstract

This project taught biblical counseling principles to members of San Francisco Bible Church in San Francisco, California. Chapter 1 presented the history and ministry context of San Francisco Bible Church and the goals of this project. Chapter 2 provided exegesis of five passages of Scripture (Ps 19; 2 Tim 3:14-17; Col 3:1-17; Rom 15:1-13; Eph 4:7-16) to show that God has provided every Christian with all that they need to care for one another through his Word. Chapter 3 explored the theoretical and practical foundations for biblical counseling. Chapter 4 described the project and the timeframe in which the project was executed. Chapter 5 evaluated the project based on the completion of the specified goals. This project sought to instruct and equip Christians in biblical counseling principles so they might take part in God’s call for all believers to provide counseling care for one another, spurring one another onto greater Christlikeness.
