Disc 1: The Bible + Mankind

Mankind
Who Is This Strange Creature

People, even Christians, are confused about what man is. Who can explain the strange ways of humankind? The Bible says a lot about man (no surprise). In fact, it says that God created man in his own image.

How does this impact our understanding of how we should treat our fellow man? Do humans have an innate worth and dignity that must be respected? Or can we just do what feels good even if it harms someone?

The Bible
The Foundation of Christianity

The Bible is where it all started. It’s like a mini-library of 66 books, divided into 2 groups, written by about 40 authors, over 2,000 years. Why is it so important to understand the Bible? Because the Bible is God’s word to man.

That doesn’t mean that Christians don’t learn from their church, tradition, more mature Christians, nature, etc. But it all has to agree with the Bible. Sound a little odd? You’re not alone. While the Bible is central to faith, the Bible isn’t a book of magic.

Disc 2: The Trinity + Jesus

The Trinity
The Nature of God

You need to know who God is, so we can serve him. In the third session you’ll learn what the Trinity is (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and some misunderstandings, that keep popping up throughout history.

This doctrine is important for both new and mature Christians to understand. The doctrine of the Trinity has been attacked from the very beginning. Some say that God is one person who just expresses himself in multiple ways.

Jesus
The Son of God Revealed

You may have noticed that there’s a flavor of Jesus for just about any situation. Want a loving, caring, kind Jesus? What about a vengeful and revenging Jesus?

Look long enough and you’ll find someone who’s willing to sell you the kind of Jesus you want to buy. Some say that Jesus isn’t God but just a highly exalted angel. What does the Bible say about Jesus? Is Jesus God?

Disc 3: Faith + Prayer + Bible Study

Prayer
Living with God

Disc 3 is where we’ll transition from talking about what to believe to how to live your faith. Prayer is a part of almost every Christian’s life. In fact, in first the New Testament the Apostle Paul says that Christians should “pray without ceasing.” What does this mean? How should Christians pray?

Bible Study
Living with God’s Word

Since Christians believe the Bible is God’s word, they believe that it’s important to study what it says. Michael and Tim will help show you that it’s not enough to just know what the Bible says but to study it for ourselves and come to our own conclusions and convictions about what God would have us to do.

Faith
The Substance of Things Hoped For

[/text_block]

You don’t have to leave your brain at the door when you become a Christian. Even though following God requires faith, it isn’t a blind faith. It’s not a leap into the dark. If you’ve ever struggled with this question or you have a friend who’s concerned that they may have to give up reason and logic to be a Christian, this program is for you. Here’s how Michael and Tim answer the objection, “Christianity is just blind faith.”

Disc 4: Church + Pain and Suffering + Evangelism

Church
Living with God’s People

Christians aren’t perfect people. You probably already know this. So how should Christians live with each other? In the eighth session of the Discipleship Program, you’ll learn how to live with God’s people in the context of a loving and supportive local church and why it’s crucial to your spiritual growth.

Evangelism
Living as Lights

Before Jesus left earth he told his disciples to go out into all the world and make disciples. In the final session of this program, you’ll learn how to follow Jesus’ example and command and begin to spread the word about God’s plan for mankind to others.

Living with Pain and Suffering

One of the hardest and most pressing questions people have today is, “If there is an all loving God out there why is there so much pain and suffering in the world?” Knowing how to live through sadness and sorrow with dignity is an important skill every Christian should study. How will you answer the question, “God just wants us to be healthy and wealthy?”
