Bible Study - Discipleship Explored

On the 15th February we started studying Discipleship Explored Study Guide

About the course

Discipleship Explored is a journey into the book of Philippians. As they discover Paul's extraordinary letter, participants explore for themselves the meaning of Paul's words: "For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

DE is for anyone who wants to make the most of their Christian lives. In particular, DE is perfect for participants who have been through Christianity Explored and have recently decided to follow Christ. The Universal Edition of the course is suitable for use with anyone who is learning English or who appreciates simple language. The International Student Edition is aimed at participants from different cultural backgrounds.

The course lasts eight weeks, with each weekly session lasting about 2 hours.

Each session has a Group Discussion, a DVD, a short study in Philippians, a short talk, and a further Group Discussion.

The topics covered are as follows each week:

1. Confident In Christ (Philippians 1:1-11)
2. Living In Christ (Philippians 1:12-26)
3. Standing Together In Christ (Philippians 1:27 - 2:11)
4. Transformed By Christ (Philippians 2:12-30)
5. Righteous In Christ (Philippians 3:1-9)
6. Knowing Christ (Philippians 3:10 - 4:1)
7. Rejoicing In Christ (Philippians 4:2-9)
8. Content In Christ (Philippians 4:10-23)

Philippians is a letter written to young Christians, encouraging them to stand firm and live for Christ. It is compelling, challenging and inspiring - particularly to those beginning the Christian life, because they are on exactly the same journey as the Philippians! Course leaders benefit from six training sessions that precede the course, giving them a confidence that is founded on a deeper understanding of Philippians. Also built into the course is a Bible reading plan to help every participant explore each theme further - and also develop the habit of reading the Bible daily.

Discipleship Explored course resources include a Study Guide, Course leader manual and DVD. The new Universal edition and International Student edition also offer tailored versions of the course.
