Look Inside<\/a><\/p>\n

For today’s fast-paced audience, we have developed this basic, small group curriculum. Adapted from the best-selling discipleship materials written by Bill Bright (the Transferable Concepts<\/i> and the Ten Basic Steps Toward Christian Maturity<\/i>), BASICS<\/i> is a seven-lesson series in one easy-to-use workbook.<\/p>\n

It’s the ideal curriculum for:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u25cf<\/span> Launching a small groups with a seven-week study
\n\u25cf<\/span> Using in new believers’ or new members’ classes
\n\u25cf<\/span> Helping a new disciple understand the fundamental truths of the Christian faith
\n\u25cf<\/span> Using as introductory training for multiplying disciples<\/p>\n

Topics covered:<\/span><\/strong>
\nAssurance<\/b>
\nThe first lesson gives the group a framework for understanding a believer’s true identity, and security, in the person and work of Christ. Helpful diagrams illustrate powerful truths of what it means when a person comes to Christ and how his work in their lives supersedes everything else.<\/p>\n

Forgiveness<\/b>
\nYour group will find the content of the BASICS<\/i> study a breath of fresh air. Lesson two of the workbook helps you understand the concept of spiritual breathing. Learn how experiencing God’s ongoing love and forgiveness is a biblical inhale and exhale away.<\/p>\n

Holy Spirit<\/b>
\nBecause Spirit-filled living is the key to a dynamic and powerful Christian life, BASICS<\/i> guides new or young believers to a better understanding of the Holy Spirit and his role in our lives. Again, helpful diagrams also help to visually explain the difference between a “worldly” Christian who is living a self-directed life and a submitted Christian, living a Christ-directed life in the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Prayer<\/b>
\nBASICS<\/i> walks the group through what Scripture has to say about what prayer is, and how it impacts their lives. Your group will be encouraged as they learn together how to pray effectively to see real change occur before their eyes.<\/p>\n

Bible Study <\/b>
\nBecause being able to read and study the Bible for oneself is one of the most important skills that the members of your group can take away from this series, lesson five is devoted to helping the Christian understand how to study the Bible effectively.<\/p>\n

Stewardship<\/b>
\nWant your group to come away from this study with a biblical understanding of the stewardship of their time, talent, and resources? Lesson six covers the subject of generosity, a term that has a specific, powerful meaning in the Christian context. Your group will learn that biblical generosity is, in fact, rejoicing in God’s abundance and sharing his resources.<\/p>\n

Spiritual Multiplication<\/b>
\nLesson seven encourages your group to multiply, and trains each person with simple, beginning steps on how to share their faith with those around them. Your group members will leave the study with the proper understanding that they themselves are responsible for helping to fulfill the Great Commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
