Publisher's Synopsis
In Acts 2:42-43 The Bible says, "And they (the new converts to Christianity) continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching, fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." Also in Hebrews 6:1 (Phillips NT) we read: " Let us leave behind the elementary teaching about Christ and go forward to adult understanding. Let us not lay over and over again the foundational truths of repentance.., believing in God, water baptism, the laying-on of hands, belief in the life to come and the final judgment. So we see from both of these passages of Scriptures that there are fundamental or foundational teachings that every believer should be taught in their local church. At Calvary Fellowship International, in order to lead our members into spiritual maturity, we have designed what we call our discipleship development tract that is similar to a baseball diamond. Our goal is to have every believer at Calvary Fellowship International "score" in their spiritual journey as a follower of Christ. As you can see from the title, this is the first base in that process. It focuses on giving our members a better understanding of their newfound faith, in order to know Christ better. In this course you will discover: HowtowalkinGod'sintendedvictoryforyourlife How to establish a daily devotional with the Lord How to read and understand the Bible Who this Person called the Holy Spirit is HowtoreceivemoreofGod'sSupernaturalPower How to Conquer sin in your life The importance of Christian fellowship The importance of sharing your faith with others The importance of giving to your local church End time events, and much more!
