Deacons Training

Church leadership, biblically speaking, is profoundly simple. But our own traditions and methods of building outside of God’s pattern have confused this subject a great deal.

Jesus is building His church and He builds it according to His pattern, not ours. In this booklet we explore the subject of deaconship – what does it mean to be a deacon? What do deacons do? What are the qualifications of a deacon?

A Study of the Book of James

Authenticity is a word that is closely associated with the Christian church. Throughout church history there are those who have succeeded and those who have failed to be authentic. What makes someone an authentic Christian? When their salvation shows in how they live.

James is a difficult book to read but, when you study it, is very encouraging. This course is periodically taught at our Equipping Courses (evenings or mornings).

Revelation Study Guide

RevelationBookletCover

Predictions of the end have always been with us. In our day, too much of our understanding of Jesus’ second coming is influenced by science fiction and TV documentaries. Some spend their lives in conspiracy theories and current affairs, trying to discover who the antichrist is or what 666 means.

But the book of Revelation isn’t actually that difficult to understand. It’s not scary or difficult. You don’t need charts or a degree in world history. It is a practical book that you can apply today. This study book is based on a two-year preaching series on the book of Revelation where we uncovered the encouraging and highly relevant message of this book.

Hearing God

God fills the universe. Therefore when it comes to hearing His voice, the problem is with us and not Him – He is speaking all the time!

DEVOTE: Prayer

Acts 2:42 says the Church is to be devoted to the Apostles’ Teaching, Fellowship, the Breaking of Bread, and Prayer. In this booklet we look at the subject of Prayer.

DEVOTE: Breaking Bread

“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
– Luke 22:19

In Acts 2:42 we see the Christian life as one of devotion to the Apostle’s Teaching (the Word of God), Fellowship, Communion and Prayer.

This booklet is about Breaking Bread. This is a practice instituted by Jesus Himself. We want to look at its deeper meaning and its very real (and surprising) application to our Christian life.

Each of the booklets in our DEVOTE series are specifically designed for Life Group discussion and teaching, but also work well for personal study.
