There are eight
lessons that will take you through a step-by-step process of easy
learning.
Best of all, you’ll have the information you need to make
intelligent decisions about your spiritual life.
Upon completion of the eight lessons above, you can continuing
learning about
the Life of Christ by studying the books of Mark and John through
the
Second Teach Program.
Here are the lessons you’ll study.
 |
Lesson One, Who Is Jesus?
Have you really ever considered the incredible claims that the
Bible makes about this man, Jesus of Nazareth? What makes Him
different from Buddha or Mohammed? Is He different or is He just
one of many "good" religious men throughout history? In this
lesson you will discover what the Bible claims about this man so
that you will be better prepared to make an objective decision of
whether or not to be one of His followers. |
 |
Lesson Two, Evidence of Christ's
Resurrection
All the claims that the Bible makes about Jesus are either true or
false. The credibility of the Christian faith depends upon whether
or not Jesus actually came out of the grave as he claimed he
would. If Christ did not rise from the dead, the entire Christian
faith is discredited, the Bible is false, and those who follow
Jesus as a religious leader are fools (1 Corinthians 15:17-19).
However, if the resurrection is true, then Jesus is Lord and all
of the claims about Him in the Bible are absolutely true. In this
study, we will examine four witnesses for cross examination. It is
your task to be a jury member and listen to the testimony
presented. Ultimately, you must decide for yourself if there is
sufficient reason to believe the resurrection claim based upon the
evidence in existence. |

Lesson Three, The Word Of God
Have you ever wondered about the difference between the Old
and New Testaments in your Bible? What covenant are we under today
and why? In this lesson we will examine how God gave us the Bible,
what testament applies to us today, and what attitudes are
necessary in order to be pleasing to God as we read the Bible. |
 |
Lesson Four, The New Testament Church
What is the church? Is there really a difference between the
church in the Bible and the churches of today? Which church did
Paul start when he went into a new city? Can we be like the church
in the Bible today? If so, how? In this lesson we will examine
what the New Testament teaches concerning God's church and how to
identify it and be a part of it today. |
 |
Lesson Five, Obeying The Gospel Call
Have you ever wondered what a disciple really is?
Jesus calls men and women to be His disciples, yet many times we
have not really considered what He is asking or what He requires
in order to answer His invitation. In this lesson, we will examine
what being a disciple of Jesus is all about and show from the
Bible what Jesus expects of those who desire to follow Him. Let's
review your relationship with Christ so you will have a clear idea
of where you are and what, if anything, you might do to improve
this relationship. |
 |
Lesson Six, The Kingdom Of God
The kingdom of God has long been the topic of
discussion among religious people. Some teach that Jesus did not
set up His kingdom the first time He was here and is coming again
to set up His kingdom in Jerusalem and will reign there 1,000
years. In this study we will examine what the Old Testament
prophets said in reference to the kingdom and then we will see
what Jesus said in reference to the subject. |
 |
Lesson Seven, The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is one of the personalities of the Godhead. He is
Deity. Much confusion and misunderstanding has occurred over the
past two centuries regarding the Holy Spirit, the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit, the Indwelling of the Spirit, and the miraculous
manifestations of the Holy Spirit. In this study we will consider
the Biblical teaching about the Holy Spirit and see that there are
three separate manifestations of the Spirit: the indwelling, the
Baptism of the Spirit, and miraculous manifestations. We will look
specifically at the miraculous manifestations in a separate study.

 |
Lesson Eight, Miraculous Gifts of the Spirit
From our last study, we have seen that there are three measures or
manifestations of the Holy Spirit. We learned that the indwelling
of the Spirit is for all who are obedient to the Lord and become
Christians. The indwelling is given at the point of baptism (Acts
2:38; Ephesians 1:13-14; John 3:3-5) We have also seen that the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurred only twice (Acts 2 and Acts
10). Both occurrences introduced the gospel to a particular group
of people. We have also demonstrated that by the time that
Ephesians was written, there was only one valid baptism in effect
at that time (Ephesians 4:4-5). That one baptism was water baptism
in the name of Jesus in order to receive the forgiveness of sins
(Acts 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21). In this study we will examine the
miraculous manifestations of the Spirit. |
