In this session we discuss Christian growth within the global Church through fellowship, group Bible Study, corporate prayer, group worship, community service together, financial support, encouragement, two-by-two evangelism, etc.

In this session, we examine the person of God’s Spirit and His works in the hearts and lives of the believers whom He indwells. In particular, we look at the miraculous works of the Spirit, and His spiritual gifts to those re-born in Him.

In this second part of our Christian Life Foundations Course, we examine the so-called “spiritual disciplines” by which we grow in our knowledge of God through His Word, and draw closer to Him in our daily lives.

The Bible – is the basis for all aspects of Christian life. We believe that the Bible is God’s very Word – spoken by Him over thousands of years through the scribes and prophets God chose and guided to write by His Spirit. From God’s Word, we derive several foundational beliefs to which all Christians must adhere.

Study notes outlines, recordings, and scripture references for the Becky Bereans’ Christian Life Foundations course.

We conclude our study of Matthew 13 with the story of Jesus’ rejection in His home town of Nazareth after reading from the prophecy of Isaiah and then proclaiming that He is the fulfillment of that prophecy.

We conclude our study of the seven so-called Kingdom Parables in Matthew 13 with a look at the Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value

We continue with the Parables Jesus taught from the boat at Capernaum with the Parable of the Leaven. We look at the symbolism of leaven in general.

We continue our study of the parables Jesus taught from the boat at Capernaum with two more of thsee seven so-called “Kingdom” parables – the Parable of the Mustard Seed and the Parable of the Leaven.
