Rocky's Ramblings Christian Discipleship Course
GREETINGS! Welcome to my ministry website, where I hope your desire is to learn more about what it means to be a Christian. Whether you are a new Christian, have been a Christian for some time, or someone thinking about God’s invitation to accept Jesus Christ, the daily lessons of this course will give you a firm understanding of Christianity.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO DOWNLOAD AND STUDY THE COURSE FREE OF CHARGE or use it to teach your own discipleship class (more on that below). My most recent update was to add an appendix of all of the Bible references complete with the passages from NASB, and I fixed a few hyperlink errors. So, if you’ve been here before, and it has been a while since you downloaded a copy, you may want to download a new copy. If you have any questions or want to discuss any of this, please contact me at RockysRamblings@gmail.com.
Let’s get started! When you click on either, you will be given a choice of viewing or downloading. If you choose to download it, hit the download button and choose 'download directly' and save it somewhere in your documents folder where you will have access to it. If you choose to just view it (rather than download it), you can come back here to read it whenever you want to.
Christian Discipleship Course INTERNET PDF
Christian Discipleship Course PRINTABLE COPY
The first is labeled INTERNET PDF. It is formatted to run on a smartphone, tablet or computer, and will allow you to click on links that will take you directly to Bible passages, articles, and such.
The second is labeled PRINTABLE COPY. If you do not have a smartphone or tablet that you can access daily, the printable copy has been formatted to print on standard letter-size paper (8.5″ x 11″). Let me warn you ahead of time that if you print the whole course all at once, it will print out on 203 pages, so printing double-sided will save you a lot of paper. If you don’t need the written Bible references, you can avoid printing Appendix B by printing only pages 1-147, saving a substantial amount of paper. This copy does have all of the hyperlinks, which of course will do you no good once you print it on paper. So, you will need to have a Bible at your side.
Retail outlets for New Testament with Study Outline
OUR PRIMARY TEXT: You will see in the introduction to the course that it is based on The Christian Life New Testament with Master Outlines & Study Notes (ISBN 9780840721785) available from a number of retail outlets. Use the button above to find one for yourself. NOTE that having a copy of this New Testament with the outlines is not absolutely necessary; the course is written to teach the specific topics without having to rely on the outline. But, I encourage you to get a copy for yourself and use it as a guide to launch beyond what you can learn in the daily lessons of this course.
Google Translate Your Documents
LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR: I have written this in English. But, through the wonders of the internet, you can put it through this translator to translate it into your language. Just download whichever copy fits your needs and then come back to this translator.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TEACHING YOUR OWN SESSION:
Let me encourage you do so! Please contact me at RockysRamblings@gmail.com. I have a discussion guide should you desire to use this course to teach your own discipleship class as part of our Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)
Or launch out on your own with it. Let me suggest that you keep it simple. Direct your group to this website so that they can download the course. Then, encourage them to go through the lessons, one each day. As the group finishes each of the outlines, get the group together (perhaps over coffee and dessert) and discuss what they are learning - either with my discussion outline or your own.
As your students go through the first two sections of the course, start encouraging them to get out and share what they are learning through their own personal evangelism. That’s the key that unlocks the door to the multiplication that Jesus taught His disciples!
If you have any questions, suggestions, or want to discuss moving forward, please contact me. I would also love to hear your success stories and the creative ways that you are using this course.
