Part 1: Putting the Puzzle Together
-
Introduction
Jesus powerfully proclaimed, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). But, what does this mean?
-
What is "Believe"?
Most people would assume the word “believe” in John 3:16 means “acknowledge” or “accept as true,” but that assumption would be incorrect. Instead, it means something much deeper…
-
What is "Paradise"?
Churchgoers also love to refer to the thief on the cross in the gospel of Luke to support their belief in eternal life upon repentance. But, how could the thief gain entrance into the Kingdom?
-
Coffee Break!
Make yourself a cup of coffee (or something else), then continue with this module which explains our “Who is God?” digital flipbook.
-
Who is Jesus?
He is the Son of God. He is the Messiah (promised deliverer) spoken of by Old Testament prophets. Later in the Bible, He is referred to as the Christ.
-
Only by Jesus
Jesus died by being crucified upon a cross, and he was brought back to life after spending three days in a burial tomb. When you – in a sense – join Jesus in these experiences, eternal life is made possible for you.
-
Look to the Apostles
The followers of Jesus “went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following” (Mark 16:20). This work for the Lord began with the apostles.
-
Man-Made Distortions
Since the time of the apostles, some people have developed a distorted understanding of the Holy Spirit.
-
It's All Up to You
At the end of the day, each one of us is personally accountable for our own choices.
-
Taking the Next Step
You’ve put all of the puzzle pieces together and you can now see the full picture - with Jesus at the very center of it.

Part 2: How to Get Empowered With God's Power Today
-
Introduction
Here’s a brief summary of what we’ve studied so far…
-
Just Pray
While the salvation message is very clear, some may wonder how to begin. The answer is very simple: pray.
-
What Not to Do
God doesn’t want us to strive by our own strength. He wants us to rely upon Him and the Holy Spirit.
-
Be Fervent
Whatever it takes, come to the Lord prepared to undergo a spiritual transformation.
-
Baptism in Water is Essential
While the sealing of the Holy Spirit is God’s part of the New Testament covenant with you, your part of the agreement comes when you get baptized.
-
What is Your Calling?
Once you’ve been water baptized and filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, it’s helpful to get acquainted with the fullness of the salvation message so you can confidently impart it unto others.
-
Your Life Depends on This
Take some dedicated time to learn how to “walk in the Spirit,” living a life that is according to God’s ways and invites the fullness of God’s blessing upon you.
-
-
Part 3: Burning Questions
-
Introduction
Take some dedicated time to learn how to “walk in the Spirit,” living a life that is according to God’s ways and invites the fullness of God’s blessing upon you.
-
The Faithful Wife vs. the Harlot
The Book of Revelation paints a picture of two women: one is an adulterous wife, which is Old Covenant Israel; the other is the New Covenant Bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem, who is a faithful wife.
-
A "Kingdom Now" Focus
The overall picture (which should be our overall message) is that we all have an opportunity to be reconciled with God through Jesus and that something amazing will happen in the future…
-
Is it God's Fault?
If we want to accuse God of allowing evil things to happen to mankind, we must also allow God to speak in defense. God’s defense is written in the Bible.
-
Fueling Up for God
Inspiring others toward personal reconciliation with God takes spiritual fuel.
-
-
Part 4: Walk in the Spirit and Thrive!
-
Introduction
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)
-
Be Mindful to Walk in the Spirit
Once you’ve been born again, it’s crucial that you continue in obedience to God’s Word and follow after the Holy Spirit versus the flesh.
-
Walking Involves Taking Step After Step
It’s primarily the New Testament epistles (letters) that detail how to walk in the Spirit.
-
Fasting Is a Tool
Fasting is one of the precious tools God has given us for strength, overcoming, seeking answers to prayer, and more.
-
Reviving the Weary Soul
What do you say to the weak and the weary? Some of these people are at the point where they have almost lost hope.
-
Thrive! Don't Just Survive
You have nothing to fear, but rather much to expect!
-
-
Part 5: Do You Know Who You Are?
-
Introduction
Jesus wanted his disciples to understand the fullness of their heavenly calling, and He wants you to do the same.
-
You Have Many Titles
We are people of God, holy, ordained, kings and priests, set to judge and reign on this earth with Jesus Christ as our head. How humbling and mind-blowing is that?
-
Beyond Salvation
Only a lighthouse can guide a wayward vessel to the safety of the shore, and we have been chosen to shine a guiding light unto those that are lost in this world.
-
You've Been Granted Full Authority
We must know that our hands and our words are the hands and words of Jesus.
