Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any building project you will ever come across in life that is designed to last, the foundation is one of the most important aspects. Builders take time to ensure that the right quality of materials, processes and standards are complied with because the effects of negligence in the building of the foundation can be very costly. The quality of foundation a building has is a major determinant of how high it can rise, the size of weight it can carry, its longevity and quality of use it can be put to The same is applicable in the matter of building of the spiritual life foundation of the saints. In Psalm 11:3 the Bible says, ''If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?'' The possession of strong scriptural foundation for assurance of genuine salvation in Christ and commitment to the basics of Christ centered and transformational discipleship is indispensible for every Believer, Convert And Intending Member of Christian organizations, churches and ministries if God's purpose for his Church, his people and the kingdom is to be fulfilled on the earth.

Download or read book Living Victoriously In the Battles of Life written by Biblical Counseling Foundation BCF and published by Biblical Counseling Foundation. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living Victoriously booklet is a 7-week study from BCF. Based completely on Scriptures, it is a practical look at everyday problems - their purpose in our lives, how we can overcome them, and walk daily in victory in the midst of trials, in the power of the Holy Spririt. Living Victoriously teaches the basics of: • The hope we can have as we go through difficult times • How and why God allows trials in our life • Practical biblical principles for change • How to practice those principles in our daily walk with Christ Living Victoriously is in a workbook format, and focuses on practical application in your daily life, providing passages for you to look up, and spaces for you to answer questions. It can be used as a personal devotional, as a one-on-one study, or in a small-group setting. Jesus did not tell His disciples that their problems would go away if they followed Him. In fact, He prepared them for battle, telling them what they would face, and taught them how to walk through those trials in victory, being Himself the ultimate demonstration of victorious living. Jesus also taught the disciples these things so that they could, in turn, teach others. This short course is about Christians living victoriously in the daily battles and struggles of life. It is also about how to come alongside and help others through those challenging times. This course will cover the following topics: • Understanding tests, temptations, and problems biblically • The biblical view of “self” • Biblical hope • Biblical change: dealing with problems God’s way • Biblical practice: our daily walk with Christ • Biblical discipleship: coming alongside others Believers need to see how to have victory in the midst of problems with relationships, temptations to fear and worry, depression, life-dominating habit patterns and so on. Living victoriously in the midst of life’s challenges is only possible with the resources that the Lord has provided to us as believers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit. This course will help you learn what those resources are, and provides the basic biblical principles for victory, and then how to apply them in overcoming the daily problems of life. Finally, this training will help you know how to encourage others to do the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foundations delivers transforming lessons for the Christian believer (especially suited for new believers) to build strong "The Foundations" of their Christian faith. The book is divided into 10 easy to follow lessons, each including 10 enlightening discussion questions. They help you clearly understand and establish the vital foundations of the Christian faith to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Developed from a pastors perspective, to strengthen new believers into powerful disciples of Jesus, who understand from the very beginning who they are in Christ and how to live victoriously in Him. During his own pastoring and discipling of new believers, Howard was aware of a shortage of material that adequately dealt with this and began writing material to use in his church. This material has now been proven over many years in establishing new Christians, it has been improved and refined over the years to provide this powerfully succinct book you have today. Ideal for: - Churches new Christian classes, One on one discipleship, Individual studies for new Christians Refreshing those older in the faith in their reason for believing. What some of the many Christian leaders around the world have said about "The Foundations."This is the prayer of thousands of servants of God who are in the discipling ministry. We look for a book to place in the hands of a new convert that will tell him, 'What to do now?' Now here is the prayer answered. I hope and trust that the soul winners will use this. We would like to see this book in the Indian languages. Dr. P.G. Vargis Founder/President, Indian Evangelical Team New Delhi, India "The Foundation" by Howard Sands is one of the best concise training tools for new believers I have ever seen. First the teaching is Biblical and supportive of Evangelical-Full Gospel teaching in its teaching on important doctrines, such as repentance, baptism by immersion and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Secondly, the various questions with the correlating Bible verses in the reviews will help the new believer to really understand and experience these important foundational truths. Pastor Dennis Balcombe Senior Pastor, Revival Christian Church Founder and Director, Revival Chinese Ministries International Hong Kong An excellent and useful tool to help new Christians. Rev Dr Ken Chant, Founder, Vision International College Sydney, Australia This easy to read and teach foundation series is a must for local churches and ministries. This foundation series reflects the extensive ministry and missionary experience of Howard and Joy Sands. Apostle Leslie Munsamy Founder/ President, Global Apostolic Centre Chairman, Apostolic Fellowship of South Africa Durban, South Africa This short book tells it 'as it is'. It is hard hitting and easy to read and it is designed to develop a deep hunger for God in the new disciple and an enthusiasm to fulfil the great commission. It is also scripturally sound and uncompromising in its challenge. Howard Barnes (Servant Apostle) Co-founder and Co-director of The Call2Come Truro, UK I think you have produced a very helpful resource here. It is simple yet comprehensive and tackles each basic discipleship area with wisdom yet simplicity. I think the questions are very helpful indeed.

Download or read book Foundations written by Dr. James Ross and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-07-10 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOUNDATIONS takes an in depth approach to the design and function of ministry and discipleship. We find in the modern Church a great need for discipleship and spiritual training. Many believers, who "know to do good," struggle in their daily spiritual life as they long for an expression of overcoming faith. FOUNDATIONS leads the reader into a meaningful recognition of their place in Christ. He is our righteousness and God's grace and goodness leads every saint into a repentant and firm faith. There are two kinds of "knowledge" spoken of in the Bible, which are information and application. Information is knowledge that "puffs up" (1 Corinthians 8:1), due to the potential it has to lure people into believing that the more information they have about the Bible, the more mature they are. Hosea speaks about the second type of knowledge when he wrote: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." He was expressing our need for the application of God's word that is necessary for the salvation of our souls and the impartation of Christ-likeness every Christ needs. The application of spiritual truth is the key to an overcoming faith and a renewed mind. Because of this, FOUNDATIONS offers a functional approach to Discipleship and spiritual training which develops the believer's ability to stand firm in the faith they profess. With this in mind; Solomon asked God for an understanding heart (i.e., "a hearing heart" - 1 Kings 3:9), because he understood that in order for anyone to be inclined toward wisdom they had to first hear God. FOUNDATIONS is designed to help the believer mature in their faith by expanding their ability to renew their mind while they develop an understanding heart, so they can learn to hear the Holy Spirit in a clarifying way. Every saint must mature in their ability to hear God as they read the Bible and listen to the Holy Spirit, and this is more readily accomplished through the discipleship process and through spiritual growth. FOUNDATIONS is an exegetical study that was compiled over twenty-eight years of pastoral and ministry experience. It is a study of the Scripture that dives deeply into the ways of God as it also expounds on many of the principles, practices, and doctrines found in the Scriptures. FOUNDATIONS is a practical tool for the serious disciple, and an aid for every Church leader.

Download or read book Basic Discipleship 101 written by Ron Hordyk and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For we are God's fellow-workers; you are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 1 Corinthians 3:9-10 When someone starts to build a house, he first lays the foundation on which the rest of the house will be built. If the foundation is not built correctly, the rest of the building will be compromised, affecting not only its immediate use but also its longevity. The previous scripture states that the church must also lay a good foundation in new believers. The Bible contains specific teachings that form the foundation of the Christian faith. To overlook even one of these teachings will affect how we perceive the rest of the Christian faith. An obvious example is to teach judgment without mercy, a teaching which causes the church to be legalistic. However, to teach mercy without judgment causes the church to give license to sin. Both teachings are essential, for the one teaching balances the other. When a person accepts Jesus as his Savior and Lord, most churches place the person in their ongoing programs, with the hope that he will grow. However, a new believer does not share the foundational truths that mature Christians have. The minister may make statements which out of context will appear harsh, but are not harsh when placed in the context of other accepted teachings. For this reason, the church must give new believers a foundation which will allow for a balance, in regard to the teachings to which they will be exposed. Basic Discipleship 101 is written to give new born believers the foundation on which they can build their Christian faith. In this collection of studies, we will examine what it means to become a Christian, identify the principle players in salvation, and examine the elementary truths on which the sermons they will be exposed to will be built upon. Welcome to Basic Discipleship 101.

Download or read book Follow the Master written by Paul Barreca and published by Paul Barreca. This book was released on 2017-02-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discipleship is fundamental to the Christian experience. Jesus called and trained his disciples and commissioned them to go and make disciples of others (Matthew 28:19-20). That command compels Christians today and is the primary task of the Church. This course is designed to help you fulfill Christ's call to -come and follow me- (Matthew 16:24). These 34 lessons provide the foundational beliefs and behaviors of a mature disciple. Even though this course was created for new Christians, those who have not been intentionally discipled will grow through these lessons. You can use this as a foundation for your own personal Bible study or better yet, study with another Christian or in a group of fellow believers to grow in your knowledge of the Bible and live as mature disciples of Jesus.

Book excerpt: A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal relationship of yielding to him and living according to his biblical precepts. Pink's book explores attributes such as God's decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches, but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through his living Word.

Book excerpt: "Pastors and church leaders desperately want to make disciples, but they often find themselves veering off the road of discipleship—or even heading toward a cliff. The many challenges of ministry cause churches to stray from effectively making disciples. Stay the Course keeps leaders on the path, so they can help people follow Jesus until the end. Church consultant and lead pastor Brandon Guindon uses seven essential practices—or “guardrails”—to guide you along the road of disciple making in your local context. These core practices come from his experience in various church contexts—from church plants to churches in transition—and guard you from danger on your journey. Embrace these seven practices as Stay the Course challenges and inspires you.

Download or read book First Steps written by Margaret Buckley and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-18 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you new to the Christian faith, or do you oversee a group of new believers? Then "First Steps" is the book that you need to grow and become strong in your relationship with your Heavenly Father through the work of Yeshua...Jesus the Messiah. INTRODUCTION First Steps is a basic discipleship course aimed at helping new Christian believers grow in their understanding and application of spiritual truths. The course is also for those who have questions concerning God and His Word who may not yet have made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ. (Yeshua Messiah). I was prompted by the Lord to write the course in order to set out some Biblical truths for new believers; First Steps is suitable for use in small discipleship groups or can be used for individuals. It was born out of an earnest desire to see new Christians established on a firm foundation in both knowledge of Scripture and obedience to God's eternal Word. It reflects a growing understanding in my personal walk with God, and in many other Christians today, of the Jewish roots of our faith. In the light of this revelation there is a vital need to read and apply God's Word. My prayer is that the Lord will use this simple resource to bless, enlighten and facilitate spiritual growth in all who take the time to study and walk out the Scriptural truths contained within it. Note: Throughout the course we will refer to Yeshua (Hebrew for Jesus, thus His true name) and often use the term Messiah rather than Christ, the latter being from the Greek translation of 'Messiah' - 'Christos', meaning 'Anointed One'. A Personal Background to the Course My name is Margaret Buckley. My earlier years were spent in both Assemblies of God Pentecostal churches and in a House Fellowship. My grandfather Charles Buckley was a pioneer Pastor within the Assemblies of God group of churches, hosting men like Smith Wigglesworth in his home. Though I never met him I grew up hearing many wonderful accounts from my parents of God's power at work to heal and deliver from sin. This, together with my parents' Godly example during my formative years, planted in me a deep respect for God's Word and a recognition of His power to heal and deliver through the ministries of true men and women of God. I have been discipling new believers for many years, leading Alpha courses and small Bible Study groups, also discipling individuals. I have had the privilege of witnessing many wonderful, life-changing responses to God's Word. Around the year 2000 I began to understand the heart of God for Israel, His people and Land, as He gave me revelation of their great significance in His plan and of my responsibility to pray for Israel. Soon after this the Lord brought me into contact with Mike and Shirley Fryer and it was my privilege to join with them in their small Fellowship in Mold, North Wales. I became actively involved in the developing ministry of this Fellowship which later became Father's House Sabbath Congregation, and have been an active leader since. As we learned more about the Feasts of the Lord, including Sabbath, I realised that I had been interpreting much of the Bible according to man's tradition and teaching. I had a deep awareness that He had directly guided me to this place of new understanding of Torah -often translated 'Law' in our Bibles but the real meaning being instructions or teaching. Since then, I have walked this path with great gratitude to the Lord and a sense of deep security as we align ourselves with His calendar in observing joyfully the Appointed Times of the Lord which we read of in Leviticus chapter 23.

Download or read book Brave New Discipleship written by Max Anders and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brave New Discipleship presents a new and comprehensive discipleship model for Christians living in a culture that has grown increasingly hostile to spirituality. This book is a toolkit of biblically sound ways to grow and strengthen your church. We live in a social climate that tries to force spirituality to take a backseat to cultural demands. We see this in the way technology has made it easy to access any kind of moral degradation. We see this in the deteriorating ethical landscape of popular culture, from unrestrained violence to open explorations of deviant lifestyles. Many young Christians see this as normal. In response to this, Christians—and especially the church at large—need a holistic discipleship strategy that addresses all areas of life to meet the new challenges of a radically shifting and secular modern world. Max Anders will help you and your church integrate the best of modern educational research to guide the most effective discipleship strategy possible. Using strong biblical principles, Brave New Discipleship, Explores the seven spiritual responsibilities, or 'marks,' of a Christian. Describes the three educational goals in a Christian's life that lead to spiritual growth. Explains and employs a set of knowledge, lifestyle, and ministry skill methods that impact the Christian's life and walk with Christ. Throughout, Anders explores Scripture and sheds light on what is negotiable and what is non-negotiable for modern ministry. Features include: Memory exercises to help the reader absorb a summary of what he or she has read. Understanding exercises to help the reader put into his own words what he or she has read, to be sure he grasps the truth. Application exercises to allow the reader to apply the truth to his or her personal life.
