Fourteen thought-provoking studies based upon a unique and comprehensive analysis of all the commands of Jesus, grouped and summarised into a simple-to-remember form of three high and nine lower-level themes.
The studies address each of the twelve themes set out in the Teach Them To Obey - All That I Have Commanded You book (ISBN13: 978-1-9164405-0-0) with two additional studies.
The first study recognises the ‘Essential Need for the Holy Spirit in our Lives’ rather than ‘obeying’ Jesus in our own strength.
Studies 2 to 4 centre around the Kingdom Fundamental to ‘Love God’ and two supporting Kingdom Practices.
Studies 5 to 9 concentrate on the Kingdom Fundamental to ‘Follow Jesus’ and four related Kingdom Practices about our personal attitudes, actions and behaviours.
Studies 10 to 13 examine the Kingdom Fundamental to ‘Love Your Neighbour As Yourself’ and three Kingdom Practices that explain how to do this.
Lastly Study 14 looks at the ‘Outcomes from Putting Jesus’s Command into Practice’.
Each study:
Sets out the biblical support for the Kingdom Fundamental or Kingdom Practice
considers ‘Our Context’ today
how we can apply the teaching to our own lives using Jesus as our example
some brief author reflections on the challenges of the topic
and most importantly a set of questions for reflection and discussion.
Throughout the book, diagrams are included that help to build and demonstrate the simple structure that is the focus of this material.
Further reading on discipleship, advice and notes for Study Group leaders, and the full biblical analysis underpinning the work are also included in appendices.
These studies are for followers of Jesus who wish to become (and teach others to be) more intentional disciples and live biblically & practically in a chaotic 21st century world.
