How to Choose Your Classes
Although these classes are designed to take you through a systematic study of the christian faith (12 weekly sessions per book) you may register for any of the classes listed below. If you are new to the Christian faith or you wish to learn how to share your faith and become a disciple-maker, we suggest you begin with Book One.
BOOK 1 THIS IS MY NEW LIFE Introduces the student to the Christian faith. It is designed for those who are searching or have just received Jesus Christ as their Savior. It is also an excellent tool to learn how to share your faith.
BOOK 2 THIS IS MY GOD Here is a must for every Christian. You will be introduced to the unchanging absolutes for discernment and Godly living. Discover the nature and character of God to help you identify false teachings such as the NEW AGE and the CULTS.
BOOK 3 THIS IS MY FREEDOM The focus of this manual is to equip the believer to live a life of victory. You will cover subjects such as: God’s role in victory; “Satan’s role in hindering God’s plan for your life; overcoming the power of addictions, anger, and bitterness, etc.
BOOK 4 THIS IS MY WHOLENESS A study designed to take the student through the step-by-step process from the time before he became a Christian, to living an abundant Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit. The student will trace the journey of the Israelites from Egypt through the Red Sea, to the Desert Wilderness, and through the Jordan River to the Promised Land of Canaan
BOOK 5THIS IS MY JOY This is a course in the study of the Book of Colossians and the reading of Hanna Whitall Smith’s book, A Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life. It is our hope that through this study you will experience the abundant life so well described in Hannah Whitall Smith’s book and the Book of Colossians.
BOOK 6 THIS IS MY CHURCH You will be introduced to the Christian’s privileges and responsibilities in God’s Community, the Church. These include the basic concepts of baptism, baby dedication, communion, healing, church membership, and becoming a profitable servant in the church.
