Entrepreneur, Christian, father to 11 children, husband to one wonderful wife of 50+ years. I am just a follower of Christ who desires to be pleasing to Him. We never know where creativity and freedom will take us. For me it has been a wild ride, an adventure, an all-time blessing to have helped establish businesses, be a teacher of scripture for 45 years and now to compile this workbook.
55 Commands Of Christ Is A Unique Tool
Why Is It So Hard To Find A Good Quarterly Or Home Group Study?
Many workbooks are either filled with academic data and stories that we have heard many times or trend toward “Christianity light”. Commands of Christ is as direct as Jesus was as he talked to the Pharisees, common Jews, Gentiles, the poor, afflicted and those seeking a deeper walk in the Kingdom. If you desire to study seriously, you will not be disappointed. On the other hand, the workbook appeals to younger Christians and mature through its energizing and easy questions.
Strengthens The Bonds Of Group Members
By creating space for open discussion and shared reflection, this workbook fosters trust and unity among group members. Commands like “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34) and “Go and be reconciled” (Matthew 5:24) emphasize relationships and reconciliation. Working through these teachings together allows members to support each other in applying them, strengthening the bonds of your Fellowship.
