The document discusses what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. It provides biblical passages where Jesus outlines what it means to be his disciple, including denying oneself, carrying one's cross, following Jesus, loving him above all else, obeying his teachings, loving other disciples, and bearing fruit. The document also discusses how disciples are to have Christ at the center and live for him rather than themselves, as exemplified by Jesus' life and ministry of doing the Father's will, depending on the Holy Spirit, studying God's word, spending time in prayer, loving and serving others through proclaiming the gospel, and making disciples.
Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
“Being used by God
is not confined to pastors, preachers or teachers. Anybody can be an instrument
in God's hands.”
God can use anybody, believer or nonbeliever.
Some notes from recent teaching sessions - they are aimed at giving more of a background / preparatory idea about how a person might move into a position to be "anointed" by God.

Bible Alive Jesus Christ 001: "“The Method of Biblical Christology”BibleAlive
Discover what Christology is and its relevance. Learn to properly distinguish between the Jesus of Faith and the Jesus of history.

In this class we critique the “Quests for the Historical Jesus.” Learn about the “Old Quest” and why it failed, and also explore “the New Quest” and “the Third Quest.” See the Theological History of Jesus and learn that the Gospels are not biographies but rather inspired witnesses to the “events and teachings of Jesus insofar as they have meaning for the Church.” Most importantly, learn the right orientation for confronting the mystery of Jesus Christ.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction.

In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
