The document discusses the need for Methodist Bible study materials and outlines a Bible and ministry training program to address this need. The program consists of 12 courses over 6 years covering topics like doctrine, theology, missions, and counseling. It is designed to help believers grow in faith and knowledge, become effective witnesses, and prepare for ministry work. The training program will benefit churches by aiding personal spiritual growth, reaching new people for Christ, discipling believers, and initiating church growth and planting through small group studies.
In this second of four sessions of our “Being and Making Disciples” workshop help in Sacele on September 1,2012 we answered the question “How Did I Begin to Disciple Someone?. We started by looking at things we should take into consideration even before we start discipling someone like how we should model Jesus, the importance of focusing on relationships and the goal of what we do in discipleship. We then went on to look at five key things we should do to help those we are discipling to get off to a good start.

This is the material covered in the powerpoint presentation "Looking at the Big Picture" which was a look at what life is all about from a Biblical perspective focusing on Jesus, the gospel, church and mission.

True gospel 7: The LAW OF ECHO-DIDOMI -- Whoever Has the Gospel of Messianic ...Lope Columna
Those who have treasured the initial truth and talents given to them by God, hold on to the Head, who is Jesus Christ. They appreciate the gifts that God gave them (talents, opportunities, revelations, the Truth, and grace from God). They invest these revelations and talents and put them to use for their spiritual development, and for the glory of God. God is well-pleased and gives them the Gospel of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. Thus, they are rewarded with more abundance of material and spiritual blessings.
Every Kingdom has a culture. Its culture sets its citizens apart from other Kingdoms. Likewise, in this Kingdom of the dear son, we have a culture as citizens or disciples. Our Culture is called ''Continuing in the Word, pursuing intimacy with truth' As we uphold this culture, we know the truth and the truth we know sets us free. This lesson was passed on in our King-Priest Meeting to young people from various denominations on the 30th of April,2022 @Manzini Library (Eswatini).
The protestants of 1529 grounded their teachings on the fact that anything that didn't agree with scripture it was their task to reject it. This presentation looks at two contrasting views. One advanced by the Catholic church and the other view advance by Seventh-day Adventists. We then compare these views with scripture.

6. FIRST: To fulfill the Scriptural mandate to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to those who are lost and apart from God, and to then disciple them (teach them to observe) in all things taught by the Lord in the Scriptures. ( Matthew 28: 20 ) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. SECOND: To teach sound doctrines to those believers who are so inclined to study to show themselves approved unto God as workmen who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth ( 2 Timothy 2: 15 ). Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. THIRD: To train those so gifted by the Spirit to be teachers, who for various reasons cannot attend institutes of higher learning, that they may be qualified to teach Sunday School, Bible studies, and home cell-group studies, as the opportunity arises. ( 1 Timothy 2: 2 ) And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. FOURTH: To equip all believers who will submit themselves to the Lord to be more effective witnesses of the good news of Jesus Christ, that salvation has come, and sin need no more rule in the life of man…salvation by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. ( 1 John 1: 1-3 ) That which was from the beginning . . . declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
