Discipleship 101 The Battle of Wills For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24: 24 NKJV Two thousand years ago, a series of events took place that radically changed the hearts and minds of many persons. This change of heart occurred in those who were exposed to, and believed in, the teachings of a man named Jesus. Since then many groups (de-nominations) have risen up. Each claim to have exclusive knowledge and authority that others should surely acknowledge and follow. As a result, a lot of wild growth flourishes along the true pathway making it difficult to walk on. Throughout this book Ive attempted to show many irrefutable truths using scripture and documented history where it seemed appropriate. My purpose has been to try to get people to think critically about what they believe and why they believe it. What Ive tried to do is cut through the briers and underbrush so that you can see the pathway more clearly and move ahead to new heights. Its a beautiful view up there. I invite you to walk along so that you can see it for yourself. If youre an atheist, I know how you feel. Thirty one and a half years ago I was an atheist as well. Back then, there was a lot I didnt know that I now know to be true. I hope youll open your mind and come along too. What youll see will surprise you. Look among the nations and watch and be utterly astounded. For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you. Habakkuk 1: 5 (NKJV)

For we are God's fellow-workers; you are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 1 Corinthians 3:9-10 When someone starts to build a house, he first lays the foundation on which the rest of the house will be built. If the foundation is not built correctly, the rest of the building will be compromised, affecting not only its immediate use but also its longevity. The previous scripture states that the church must also lay a good foundation in new believers. The Bible contains specific teachings that form the foundation of the Christian faith. To overlook even one of these teachings will affect how we perceive the rest of the Christian faith. An obvious example is to teach judgment without mercy, a teaching which causes the church to be legalistic. However, to teach mercy without judgment causes the church to give license to sin. Both teachings are essential, for the one teaching balances the other. When a person accepts Jesus as his Savior and Lord, most churches place the person in their ongoing programs, with the hope that he will grow. However, a new believer does not share the foundational truths that mature Christians have. The minister may make statements which out of context will appear harsh, but are not harsh when placed in the context of other accepted teachings. For this reason, the church must give new believers a foundation which will allow for a balance, in regard to the teachings to which they will be exposed. Basic Discipleship 101 is written to give new born believers the foundation on which they can build their Christian faith. In this collection of studies, we will examine what it means to become a Christian, identify the principle players in salvation, and examine the elementary truths on which the sermons they will be exposed to will be built upon. Welcome to Basic Discipleship 101.

In this study, we will examine the parable of the unmerciful servant. This parable expresses the responsibility of the believer to forgive (Matthew 18:21-35). When Peter asked Christ about forgiveness, He responded to him with this parable. Within this story, we see the unlimited forgiveness of God. In addition, we discover the responsibility of His servants to be like him. Let us learn to forgive others as God, for Christ’s sake, forgave us. As we learn from these parables, we will stay on the path to true discipleship.

Looking for a Biblical discipleship program for your church, your family, or just for yourself? Look no further! Discipleship 101 is a great resource for all believers who desire to know more about the basics of Christianity. Each of the 13 lessons include summaries of the topic, fill in the blanks from selected supporting passages, questions to answer, and an answer key in the back of the workbook. Jesus' command to the church was to make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19-20). This means that every believer must be discipled or actively discipling someone else. Prayerfully consider using this workbook to fulfill Christ's command and to learn more about the Lord and grow closer to Him.
