Christian Corestrength: a One-year Discipleship Guide for Christian Doctrine and Living Rev Andrew W G Matthews

Publisher Marketing: The great commission of Jesus (Matthew 28:16-20) calls Christians to make disciples of all nations, unfortunately the churches' Christian education programs haphazardly and unsystematically attempt to grow up believers in the Lord. Christian CoreStrength has been written to provide a plan of learning that progresses in an orderly fashion, and covers every major doctrine and practice of Christianity. The church also needs to be making disciples who can then turn around and make other disciples. The reality is that the average Christian does not know where to start with discipleship. The purpose of Christian CoreStrength is to put a tool into your hands so that you have the means to take someone under your care and teach them the faith. Christian CoreStrength follows a one year plan, 52 lessons, to teach the Christian faith in such a manner that key doctrines are taught and important Bible passages are studied to lay a solid foundation of faith. Christian CoreStrength is divided into five major sections: Core Beliefs--the foundation of essential truths; Such a Great Salvation--the doctrines of salvation from election to glorification; A Closer Walk with God--the practical living aspects of the Christian faith; Church Life--the doctrine and practice of the church; Thinking Deeper--an examination of deeper theological and world view issues. Each lesson is two pages long and can be used in a variety of contexts: Self-Study, One-on-One, Small Group, Sunday School, and Leadership Training.
