New Certificate Available at SBC!
By Sheila Ginter, MA Faculty Advising Professor for Counselling at SBC.
Steinbach Bible College is thrilled to offer a new certificate: The Counselling Care Certificate. This certificate has been tailored in a way that makes it relevant for people from all walks of life. There are those who are already doing some form of care ministry and would appreciate increasing their capacity, or there are those who have been pastoring long enough to know they could increase their skills in that part of congregational care. And finally, there are those who are considering a career in counselling but are unsure if they are ready to take that big step. This certificate offers a solution for all of the above. The courses included are designed to equip, challenge current skills and grow one’s capacity for care ministry. Should you choose to take this certificate for the purpose of deciding on future career opportunities, it is an excellent head start to continue your education professionally. There is flexibility built into the course selection to complement your specific educational needs.
If this certificate sounds like something you would like to pursue, contact me at SBC. Let’s have a conversation and decide together how you can be more equipped to care for the needs of others.
Take the Next Step and Become a Carer with Skills!

A Study of Deuteronomy:
Moses’ Final Sermon – “How Should Free People Live?”
By Gord Penner, ThM
How should free people live? Standing on the border, about to send his people across to the promised land, Moses preached one last sermon to say it one last time. One generation earlier, their parents had failed. They too had stood at the border ready to enter but they would not trust God and so he turned them back to the desert. Would that happen again?
This new generation listened intently as Moses told them what their parents should have known. Moses gave them the keys to living a long, good life in the land. Moses’ sermon was clear. Their life would show that they got what God had done in freeing them from slavery in Egypt. How they would “love the LORD with all their heart” would affect all of life, from loving their neighbours, to the way they dressed, to the food they ate. The rewards of the obedient life would be abundant, but the consequence of disobedience would be disaster.
What a relevant book for us! We have been freed by Jesus, and that should be evident in every facet of our lives. Our employers, neighbours (even the opposing sports team?) will see how God’s saving work on our behalf changes everything about how we live.
