INTRODUCTION

The Lord Jesus called His disciples. He said, "Come to me…Take my yoke…Learn from
me" (Matthew 11:28-30 NTV). “Come to me" is His personal invitation to any person who
desires to become a part of Him BELONGING TO CHRIST is the first step in discipleship. It
is a transaction between a sinful man and the sinless Christ. The man responds to the
call of the Master. The initiative comes from the Master. He opens His arms like a waiting
father expecting a lost son to come home. This invitation is open to every person
regardless of his status, stature or stamina. The same person must acknowledge his
sinfulness and accept the Saviourhood of Christ. His repentance and reconciliation to God
through Christ makes him aware of the newness of life imparted by the Holy Spirit. This
union with Christ is the starting point of discipleship

"Take my yoke is a responsibility which Christ modeled and His disciples should now
carry on. The key to discipleship is BELIEVING IN CHRIST. Whatever He says is final. His
Word must be obeyed. His ways must be followed. To believe in Him is to recognize that
He is Lord of all. He is the supreme, superior and superlative Lord. The expected
response of a disciple is "yes, Lord" or your will be done. At the very beginning, the
disciple might not understand the leading of His Lord, yet he believes that He cannot
commit any mistake. Therefore, he yields to the Lordship of Christ.

"Learn from me" in the challenge of BECOMING LIKE CHRIST in calling, character and
conduct. Becoming like Christ in calling is the disciple's position in Him. Christ is the
potter and the disciple is the clay. HE melts, molds and makes the disciple in the way He
wants. The disciple gladly submits to Him as he becomes like Christ. His calling makes
him attentive to Christ's bidding. The disciple is identified with both Christ and His
people. Becoming like Christ in character is the inward likeness of the disciple with
Christ. God desires a person whose life is patterned after Christ. "For whom He did
foreknow He predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son." (Romans 8:29 KIV)
Spiritual virtues like meekness, goodness, longsuffering and temperance must be
developed within him. These are the character traits of Christ which must be transmitted
into the life of a disciple. Becoming like Christ in conduct is the outward manifestation of
the inward Christ-likeness. The people around the disciple are continually observing his
conduct. They are easily drawn to Christ when they see a Christ-like life.

A disciple is a learner. Christ's disciple is learning to be like Him in the power of the Holy
Spirit. A disciple who has begun living for Christ should BUILDING INTO HIM. There should
be a continuous growth in affection and affliction for Christ. He should understand that
He has a foe to fight-Satan, and a friend to follow-Christ our present sufferings are not
worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18 NIV) His focus
is fixed on Christ. Satan disguised as an angel of light, allures him with pleasures, leisure
and treasures to delay his growth. Yet He is determined to grow in grace and in the
knowledge of Christ. The Holy Spirit that resides in him will always preside over the
direction of his daily walk. His growth depends solely on the power that works within him.
His life glows, grows and goes with vim, vigor and vitality. The Holy Spirit produces fruit
within and without, which makes him "like a tree planted by the rivers of water" His steps
and stops are ordered by the Holy Spirit.
The disciple has to understand that the Holy Spirit imparts a spiritual gift or gifts to him.
The BRUSHING OF ON SPIRITUAL GIFTS makes the body of Christ ready for fruitfulness. It
is the Holy Spirit that strengthens, supplies and sustains the necessary qualities to
becoming fruitful and faithful to the end. This divine person residing and presiding in the
believer's life produces effective and efficient ministry

Prayer is the first agenda of the disciple's daily life. He kneels down before God,
worshiping with petition, supplication and intercession for others. BENDING TO CHRIST
means a lot to him. He never misses a moment of communion with his Master. His knees
are bent with humility alone, aligned and alive to God. He waits for God before walking
for Him

The life and ministry of a disciple is characterized by constant warfare. Satan is indeed a
"roaring hon who prowls around looking for someone to devour.” The disciple must know
Satan's deception, temptation, accusation and confusion. His effective witness will
always draw out the enemy as fire. But he has positioned himself offensively and
defensively so the enemy can not make any solid attack on him and his ministry.
BINDING THE ENEMY has to be done first. How can anyone enter into a strong man's
house" Jesus said, unless he first binds up the strong man?" This can only be
accomplished in God's way with God's wisdom and through God's Word. His Word is the
sword of the Spirit. It is a powerful weapon for spiritual warfare against the spirit world.

The aggressiveness of a disciple is compared to the use of salt and light in the world. In
the midst of a resistant people's group he acts like salt, doing his inside job. In a
responsive community he is like a lighthouse that BRIGHTENS THE PATH OF OTHERS.
Wherever he is and whatever he does, he is thinking of others who may be incorporated
into the fold of Christ. His status has changed. Before he was a disciple. Now, he has
become an apostle. Before he was a fisherman. Now, he is a fisher of men. He becomes a
responsible reproducing apostle of Christ. He develops persons individually who become
a congregation that worships Christ. The impact of his life and ministry overflows until
many becomes practitioners of a Christ-like life

As an apostle, he ministers to others. There are times when his visits will be on special
occasions. It might be Thanksgiving! Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, a Birthday or
Wedding Anniversary. He is there, BRIDGING THE GAP. “Making the most of every
opportunity because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:16 NIV) It is on these special
occasions that unbelieving friends and loved ones are set up to hear the gospel. It is on
this special occasion when loved ones gather together for reunion and fellowship which
sometimes were broken. Bridging the gap is an important occasion function that can
initiate restoration in both horizontal and vertical relationships.

There is a final day when a disciple becomes an apostle who has equipped other people
to become disciples of Christ. He learns to share his substance for the ministry. That final
day is the glorious and blessed coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then and there he sees
the Master face to face. BEHOLDING CHRIST is a great prize to cherish. Indeed “when
Christ who is your life appears” Paul said, “then you also will appear with him in glory.”
What a glorious and marvelous day that will be. Christ will address each of His people,
“Well done, good and faithful servants! You have been faithful with a few things, I will put
you in charge of many things. Come and share your Master's happiness!” (Matthew
25:23 NIV)

Week 1 NEW DEGREE: B. A
John 3:1-7

Intro: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the reading of the Holy Scripture will guide
us into virtuous living "The Church grants indulgence to the reading of the Holy Bible."
The Protestants are encouraged to study the Bible. The Bible is informative, formative and
transformative.
Our lesson is found in the book of St John 3:1-7, Let us read it, then pray.

Questions:
1. There are two persons conversing in our Scripture lesson. Who are they?
(Nicodemus and Jesus).
2. Who is Jesus? (Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King)
3. Who is Nicodemus?
a) Ruler of the Jews- one of the seventy members of the Sanhendrin. Therefore he is
educated.
b). Pharisee- a sect under Judaism, very conservative. Therefore he is religious
4. Why did Nicodemus desire to see Jesus? (v2 because of the miracles.
Enumerate the miracles of Jesus)
5. What time did Nicodemus meet Jesus? (Night) Why?
a) He might be shy or afraid to become a laughing stock.
b) He might be very busy during the day
NOTE: Nicodemus told Jesus that if He was not from God He could not do all those miracles.
Jesus ignored the praise. He rather pointed out to Nicodemus the thing most necessary for
man ought to Be so that he can enter the Kingdom of God.
v. 3- Born Again
v. 5- Born of water and of the Spirit
v. 7- You must be born again.
Born Again is the second birth, mentioned three times in this passage. v.6 Shows us the two
kinds of birth namely Born of the flesh and born of the Spirit. When Jesus said in v.5 "OF
WATER" this refers to the first birth, being born of the flesh "OF THE SPIRIT" refers to the
second birth, being born of the Spirit. The first birth, "born of the flesh" is accompanied by the
water in the mother's womb. This was what Nicodemus knew.

The second birth is as necessary as the first. (Romans 8.9). "The Spirit of God really dwells in
you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him (RSV). He is not a
Christian at all (LB). He is none of His (KJV)"

If you are born twice, you die once, if you are born once you die twice
Conclusion: Do you want to be born Again? Invite Jesus Christ to live in you. His Spirit will come in.
Pray the prayer of faith, "Lord Jesus, come into my life. Forgive me for my sins. You are now
the King of my life. Take control of my person. Make me the person you want me to be.
Amen."

Then thank the Lord for these things.

Week 2

NEW LIFE
I John 5:11-13

Intro: Interaction: What are the blessings you have received this week. Lead them in
singing, reading the passage, then praying. Find time to memorize the verse

Questions:
1. What do you mean by eternal life? (vv. 11,13 Life of God, Life without end).
2. How do we know that we have eternal life? (v. 11 “This is the record.” We
have the
written word.”)
3. Who gives us eternal life? (v.11 God)
4. According to v. 11, where does eternal life come from? (In His Son)
5. Who is this Son? (Jesus Christ)
Note: God, to start with, has eternal life. Now, this life is in His Son, Jesus
Christ.
6. Who can have eternal life? (v. 12 Those who have the Son.)
7. Who are those who will not have eternal life? (v. 12 Those who do not have
the Son.)
Note: The Bible does not say that those who are Roman Catholic, Protestant, or
Seventh Day Adventist will have eternal life. Rather, those who have the Son
have
eternal life.
8. Who are those who know they have eternal life? (v. 13 Those who believe)
Note: What do you mean by " believe?" There are two ways of believing:
a.) Having mental ascent or head knowledge.
b.) Trusting in, and entrusting your life to Him in whom you believe.
Example: I believe the plane can take me to Manila, so I entrust myself to the plane.

Conclusion: True believing is believing what Jesus Christ said; “ I stand at the door and
knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in with him…” (Rev.
3:20). Jesus wants to come in if you open the door. Do you really believe in Him?
Then open the door of your life. By faith, invite Jesus to come into you.

Week 3 NEW POSITION

Mark 2:1-12

Intro: Interaction: What is your personal commitment to Jesus Christ? Have you
memorized the passage for today? Make sure everybody understands the narrative.
Ask one to tell the story to the group.
Lead in Prayer and read of the passage.

Questions:
1. What was the personal interest of the people by bringing the paralyzed man?
(Physical healing)
2. What was the first statement of Jesus when He saw the paralytic man?
("Son, your sins are forgiven." v.5)

Note: Although the four people sought physical healing, Jesus gave spiritual healing. Jesus
saw him his inner person inside. He possibly got paralyzed because of his sins.
When God looks at us, He sees beyond our outward appearance. He looks straight
to the heart. Are your sins forgiven? If you sin minimum of once a day that means
365 sins a year. If your age is twenty by now you have committed 7,300 sins. If you
are forty, 14,600. He sees your condition. You can't hide from him.

3. What did Jesus see in these four men and probably in the sick man? (v.5 their
faith)
If you like God to act immediately then trust Him. He cares and will take care.
While others were questioning (vs. 6,7) the four believed in Jesus and His words. His
words says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) He promised to forgive and
forget. If we confess our sins, He has promised to remove all of them right now. L will
stand before God right now just as if I have not sinned since my birth. He will cleanse
me.

4. According to v.11 What was the second instruction of Jesus? ("...get up, take
your mat and go home.")

Conclusion: Jesus heals the whole person. He starts with the inside, then the outside. Do
you want Jesus to remove your sins now? Then, confess directly to Him right now.

Week 4

NEW RELATIONSHIP
Matthew 6:9-15

Intro: Interaction: What are the things from which you believe Christ has healed you?
Lead them in prayer, read the passage and memorize the verse.

This prayer is called the disciple's prayer, not the Lord's prayer. The prayer was
taught by Jesus to His disciples. He told them to pray in this manner. It is a pattern
for us to follow. Through it Jesus teaches us a pattern of relationship

A. RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

“Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” The pronoun “Our”
R.V.G. Tasker assumes that the prayer will be used corporately.”

Questions:
1. Is God your Father? (We are all created by God, but not all are His children).
How can a sinful man become a child of God? (John 1:12)
2. How can we hallow His name? (By not using His name in vain. Example,
“Sus, patyon ta ka karon!”)
3. Is He coming again? What will He do at His coming? (Yes to judge the
unbelievers, Rev. 20:15; To reward the believers, John 14:1-3.)

B. RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR FELLOWMEN

4. According to verse 12,14,15, what is the condition for forgiveness of our sins?
(If we forgive others) Even if you pray fifty times, "Forgive me my trespasses"
but you are unwilling to forgive others, you will not be forgiven either.

C.RELATIONSHIP WITH OURSELVES

5. Why "daily bread"? (So we will trust Him daily provision.)
6. Whose trespasses are to be forgiven first? (Not their trespasses but ours.)
7. How can we be delivered from temptation? (When we cooperate with God.
"Lead us not into temptation" is God's part. Our part is "Avoid every kind of
evil." I Thess. 5:22)
 8. To whom is the praise to be given? (Thine forever, that is to God.)

Conclusion: When praying, do you really mean what you say? Do you have this kind of
personal relationship with God, fellowmen and yourself? Follow the pattern of
Jesus.

Week 5
NEW WILL TO WILL
Matthew 7:21-27

Intro: Interaction: What was your experience when you said; "I am sorry, please forgive
me" or "I have forgiven you?" Take time singing, praying and reading of the passage,
then memorize the verse

Questions:
1. According to v.21, Who can enter the kingdom of heaven? (He who does the
will of God.)
Note: The phrase “on that day” refers to Christ's return and judgment. Many will say,
“Did I not prophesy, cast out demons, do mighty works in your name.”
2. What will be the answer of the Lord? (v.23 “I never knew you. Depart from
me, ye workers of iniquity.”)
Note: There are those who presume that they will go to heaven because they are doing the
work of God, But they are not doing God's will. Doing God's will cannot be mixed with
evil. Whoever that person is, God will say, "I never knew you, yea worker of iniquity."
3. What are some examples of God's will that are clearly written in His word?
a. John 6:40 - Believe in Jesus Christ. (Let them read the text and explain it.)
b. II Peter 3:9 - Should come to repentance.
c. I Thessalonians 4:3 - Abstain from evil.
d. Ephesians 5:17,18 - Be filled by the Holy Spirit.
e. I Thessalonians 5:18 - Give thanks in all circumstances.

Conclusion: Are you doing God's will? Matthew 7:24 Those who hear and do them are
wise. V.27 - Those who hear and do not do them are foolish. What do you
think of the person who refuses to hear and do? You can decide to be wise,
foolish or very foolish now. Let us do His will.

( ) 1. Memorize II Peter 3:9.
( ) 2. Mention which will of God, you desire to obey?
STEP TWO

BELIEVING IN CHRIST

This series of six lessons encourages the person to exercise faith in Christ. The act of
believing is actually surrendering to what Christ wants him to be. Believing in Christ is seen
in the life of a person who takes the words of Christ at face value. He never doubts Christ's
instructions.

By the end of these lessons the person being discipled should have learned to obey Christ.
He trusts Christ to give enabling for the responsibility entrusted to him. The command of
Christ is now his first priority. He should have followed Christ in water baptism following
Christ's example.
Week 6 NEW CONCERN
John 17:11-20

Intro: Interaction: What did you experience when you decided to obey God’s will?
Have time of singing, prayer, and reading of the passage.

This is the Lord’s prayer, v.17:1 “...He looked toward heaven and prayed;”
Notice the prayer concerns of Jesus expressed to the Father.

Questions:
What are His prayer concerns?
1. v.11 "That they may be one" - Unity. We are one in Jesus Christ. We become
united in Christ when we receive Him. We are one big family. Christ is our
elder brother. We are part of one body. He is the Head. Ours is to keep the
unity, which is already established. How united are we?
Develop unity.
2. v.13 "That they may have the full measure of my joy within them." JOY stand
for: Jesus, Others and You. Joy is Christ first and self last. Joy can stand in
the midst of unfavorable circumstance. Happiness depends on happenings,
while joy comes from Jesus.
3. v.15 " That you protect them from the evil one" The evil one is Satan. Trust
Christ and His Word. "Greater is He that is in you than he (Satan) that is in
the world." (1 John 4:4 KJV)
4. v.17 "Sanctify them by the truth." To sanctify is to purify, cleanse and make
holy. We are set apart for His glory and honor. We are cleansed by His blood
(John 1:7). We are pruned by the word which is the truth (John 15:3).
5. v. 19 (KJV) " That they may be consecrated. " It means that believers are
dedicated, useful and fully committed to the Master. They do not say, "No"
When the Lord commands them. They are loyal to the person who gives them
joy, keeps them from the evil one and sets them apart.
6. v.20 "That others may believe through their word. " Our testimony is very
important. It should be by life and by lips. We are channels through whom
others might believe. There are still many who are waiting for our witness. Will
you testify about Christ to your unbelieving friends, fans and family?

Conclusion: The prayer concerns of Jesus focus on us, believers, and on those who are
 about to believe. What do your prayer concerns focus on?

Week 7 NEW RESPONSIBILITY

John 6:1-14

Intro: Interaction: Have your prayers been answered? Have you started testifying to persons about
whom you are concerned? Lead them in prayer, singing, and reading of the passage.

Do you know what the Passover is in v. 4? (During the time of Moses in Egypt, the Angel of death
passed over the houses having the blood on their doorposts. Exodus 12) v2 Why did the
multitudes follow Jesus (They saw miracles.) In the Scriptures we have just read, what was the
miracle that Jesus did? (Feeding of the five thousand with five loaves and two fishes, having
twelve baskets of leftovers.)

Questions:
Do you want God to do a miracle in your life and in your home? Please follow these guiding
principles.
1. v5 What did Jesus see? (Jesus saw people as potentials for God's Kingdom
while Philip saw the problem of pesos v.7)
Note: We think it is expensive to win people to Christ and it is a waste of money. That is
why God cannot do the miracle because we see pesos rather than people. To God people are
more precious than pesos.
2. Andrew, the brother of Peter, saw somebody. Who was he? (unidentified lad)
3. What was he bringing? (5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes) v.11 Jesus took the
loaves.
Note: If you were the lad would you be willing to give them up? What if the lad refused to give them up?
The 5,000 might not have not been fed. God uses people who are willing to give up things that He
asks for. They might be evil thing which to hinder the miracle or they might be good things that
God wants to use
4. V.10 What is the clear command of Christ? (Let the men sit down). How many sat down?
(5,000)
Note: Were there people that remained standing or squatting? (None). What was the
response of the people? (Complete obedience to the word of Christ. The five thousand sat down).
If you want God to do something miraculous “Be holy for I am holy” (I Peter 1:16); “Give and it will
be given you…” (Luke 6:38). Let us obey the clear command of Christ without question or
reservation.
4. After Jesus received the five loaves, What did He do? (Give thanks).
5. What was the next thing Jesus did? (He distributed the loaves to the
disciples, and the disciple to the people. Delegation.)
Note: It is not enough that I do the work, but I am teaching you now so you can teach
others also
6. The five thousand were filled. What was the last instruction which Jesus
gave? (Gather the fragments that nothing be wasted)
Note: We should not waste God's blessings. Learn to manage your money, make a budget,
 list your priorities.

Conclusion: Do you want God to do miracles in your life? Look at people, not pesos. Give what God asks
from you. Obey Christ's command completely. Learn to give thanks. Delegate responsibilities and do not
waste God's resources.

Week 8
NEW CHARACTER
Ephesians 4:21-32

Intro: Interaction: What things have you given up for the Lord and you are happy about it?
Have time for prayer, singing and read the scripture passage

In v. 12, to whom does the pronoun Him refer? Where can we find the truth? (In
Jesus Christ) Now that we are in Jesus, who is the truth, we are instructed to “put off”
(v.22) and to “put on” (v.24) certain things in life.

Questions:
Let us discover the things we should:
1. Put off: What are they?
v.22 - former life of the old man.
described as corrupt with its deceitful lust.
v.25 - Lying
v.26 - Anger
v.27 - Giving place to the devil
v.28 - Stealing
v.29 - Corrupt communication
v.30 - Bitterness, wrath, anger, evil speaking and malice. Don't allow them to
linger in your life.
Note: Would you say to Jesus, “Lord, help me to put off this old life”?
2. Put on: What are they?
v.23 - Renewed mind.
v.24 - The new man with righteousness and true holiness.
v.24 - Speaking truth to your neighbor.
v.28 - Laboring with your hands.
v.29 - Speaking to edify those who hear.
v.32 - Being kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another.

Conclusion: We are instructed to put off and to put on certain things in life. We are
expected not to be naked. We only put on the new life after we have put off
the old one. The new should not be a duplicate of the old. What will you pray
by faith that God will help you to put off from the old man and put on from the
new man?

Week 9 NEW FRUIT

John 15:1-11
Intro: Interaction: What things have you decided to put off and put on in your life this week?
Have prayer, singing and read of the scripture passage then memorize the memory
verse.

Questions:
1. In our reading, who are the three personages that are identified with each
analogy? (Father - gardener; Jesus- true vine; you- the branches)
2. What is the ultimate expectation of the gardener from the branches? (To
*bear fruit).
3. How many times is the word "fruit" mentioned? (6 times- v.2 three times, v.4
once, v.5 once v.8 once and also twice in v.16, which is outside of our text).
Note: v.2 - that does bear fruit
v.2 - that it will be more fruitful.
v.5 - He will bear much fruit- superlative, not just minimum but maximum.
4. How can we be sure that the branch will bear much fruit?
a. When it is clean - The word cleanses us v.3
b. When it is pruned - Discipline removes the undesirables v.2.
c. When it abides with the vine- Relationship with vine and the branches is
imperative.
Note: The relationship is reciprocal, "I in you and you in me." The word "in" indicates an
inner, intimate relationship. We abide in Him that is, cling to Him through the Holy
Spirit living in us. In v.6, take note of the will- power of the branch. "If man does not
abide" The branch has the option to abide or not to abide. In v.7 when the branch
decides to abide in Jesus and His word- you can ask what you will. Jesus has the full
confidence that the branch's will, will jibe with His own will.
5. When will the Father be glorified? (When the branches bear fruit). Who are
those that Jesus calls "my disciples"?
6. What kinds of fruit are expected?
a. Inside fruit- v.9,10 - love, v.11 - joy, The fruit of the Holy Spirit.
(Galatians 5:22-23) b.
b.Outside fruit- v.16 that you should go and bear fruit. A mango branch
produces a mango fruit. A true Christian produces another Christian.

Conclusion: Are you bearing fruit for Christ? It is not the gardener or the vine that bears fruit.
 It is the branch that bears much fruit, the vine-dresser receives the glory. When the
branch bears fruit, some people will be happy while others will get jealous. They
sometimes throw stones at it. Don't be afraid when you are persecuted. Persecution
is a part of fruit bearing. Our responsibility is to bear fruit and much fruit.

Sycamore tree to see Jesus). "Where there is a will, there is a way."
Note: When Jesus became aware of Zaccheus, He called him by name. It was their
first
meeting. He knows you by name. John 10:3 - He is interested in you and your
name. The outcast, Zaccheus, had a golden outlook so the outcome was
great and bright. Jesus said, "I must stay at your house today." What a
privilege! The Lord of Lords and King of Kings was his visitor!
Today, Jesus is seeking not a home wherein to stay but a heart in which to
reside. (Rev. 3:20)
5. What was the response of Zaccheus? (v.6 made haste and received
Him that day joyfully).
Note: Now that Zaccheus received Christ, He was committed:

in your life? Have time of singing, praying and reading of the passage;

Question:

1. Who was preaching in the wilderness of Judea? (John the Baptist).

Note: The term "baptist" is not names were a denomination but a family name.
Originally followed either by their job, home place, or father's name like Judas
Iscariot, Iscariot is a place. James the Son of Zebedee, Zebedee is his father.
2. What was his message? (Repentance v.2).
3. According to v.5, Who responded to his preaching? (People from Jerusalem,
all Judea and all region about Jordan).
4. What was John's expectations of those who were baptized? (v.6 confess
their sins)
5. In verse 7, who came to John and desired to be baptized? (Pharisees and
Sudducees)
6. According to verse 8, what did John demand from them? (fruit of repentance)

their sins. St. Peter said; (Acts 2:38) Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." If St.
Peter is the first pope of Rome, then he should be followed.
If repentance should come before baptism, then only those who repent could be
baptized. If we are baptized without having repented, then there will be no
forgiveness of our sins!
7. Who was the person who went to John to be baptized in verse 13? (Jesus)
Note: He asked John to baptize Him. What was John's response? (vs. 11,14)
But Jesus insisted; what was His reason verse 15? (KJV) "fulfill righteousness."
(Wms) "do our duty to God", (Beck) - "We should accomplish every righteous
purpose.
Note: Baptism does not remove sin. If baptism removes sin then Jesus must be a sinner
because he was baptized.
When will sin be removed? (it's when we repent that we receive forgiveness)
Christian baptism is like the baptism of Christ.
 9. According to verse 16, How was Jesus baptized? (immersion, sprinkling. or
pouring?)

Conclusion: When were you baptized since you repented of your sins? Do you desire to be
baptized like Christ? Christ was not ashamed. He made a public and definite stand.
That's why the Father said, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

trust the Holy God.

2. Where did the Holy Scriptures come from? (v.16-from God. It is God-

the person who will live like Christ. But we are given the Holy Scripture as the sword of the
Spirit to defend us and fight against the evil one. (Ephesians 6:17, Hebrews 4:12).

Week 14 HAVE TIME WITH GOD
Luke 11:5-13

Intro: Interaction: What have you learned this week from your study of the Holy Scripture?
Have time of singing, prayer and reading the passage

A parable is a comparison of two objects for the purpose of teaching a lesson. It is an

earthly story with a heavenly meaning. It is a true-to-life story with spiritual truths. The
word "parable" is found 46 times in the New Testament and 15 times in the Old
Testament.

Questions:
1. What was the parable in this passage Jesus taught to His disciples? (please
tell the story in your own words)
2. Why did the friend, though it was inconvenient for him to get up, force himself
to share what he had? V.8
a). Because he was a friend.
b). His friend was in need.
c) His friend was persistent.
3. What is Jesus’ challenge to His disciples in verse 9? (ask, seek and knock).
Note. These three words can be put into one word. Take all their first letters. For ask "A",
seek "S", and knock "K" then you have ASK. Ask God to meet your needs. He will
certainly minister to you specially.

1. What is the promise of Jesus? (those who ask, receive, those who seek,
finds, those who knock shall have the door opened.)
Note: Don't expect Christ to give you when you have not asked. The desire must be
according to His will. Seek first the person then the blessing. Knocking must be at the
right door (John 10.9)

2. What are Christ's illustrations on the possibility of receiving what we need

from the Father in heaven?
(v. 11-13. If our earthly father who is evil by nature will avoid giving bad
things, how much more with our heavenly Father.)
3. Will all that we ask from our heavenly Father be given us? (No, only those
things that we need, not what we want, only those things that are for us)
Conclusion. That's one reason we need to have time with God, to enable ourselves
decipher what is a need or a want. We should know His desire and the things that
are good for us. We can trust our friend, Jesus. He cares more than a brother. Just
make regular appointments with Him

Have time of singing, prayer and reading of the passage

God forgives our sins and expects us to forgive others also. Jesus forgave His
enemies. We ought to habitually practice forgiveness

Questions:

servants).
2. How much did the first servant owe the king? (v.24-Ten thousand talents or
twenty million pesos)
3. Because the servant should not pay, what then was the demand of the king?
(v.25 Sell all what he had including his wife and children)
4. What did the servant do? (v:26 Fell down, pleaded and sought for mercy)

5. What was the response of the king towards the servant? (v.26-Moved with
compassion and set him free and forgave him)

us. His compassion is greater than our sins. Let us not cover our sins (Proverbs 28 13)

6. When the servant was released, what did he do? (v.28-30 He forced his
fellow
servant, who owed Him a hundred pesos, to pay him).

7. What are the lessons that Jesus would like us to learn? (v.35)
a. God forgives us so we ought to forgive our fellowmen.
b. Our sins before God are more compared to the sins of our fellowmen
toward us.
c. To forgive is divine

8. How many times should we forgive our brother? (v.21-22 Seventy times
seven
 equals 490 times). This means there should be no limit to our forgiveness.
According to Hobbs, "Jesus did not think of legalism and mathematics. He
mean limitless forgiveness."

Conclusion. We forgive though it hurts. Forgiveness must be within the nerves of a

Christian. We forgive because we are forgiven.
