The Christian Faith is about people putting their Faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and to follow Him as His first Disciples did. The Christian Faith is about being born again. It is about confession and receiving forgiveness for your sins. It is about becoming a child of God. It is about becoming part of the family of God as His son and daughter. It is about becoming a citizen of the Kingdom of God. It is about being restored, finding your purpose in life, and ultimately finding and fulfilling God's purpose for your life.This course is a field-tested Discipleship Course, tested and developed over a 30 year period and now used in churches in over 70 nations. This Discipleship Course is designed to help people give their lives to the Lord, or, for those who made a decision for Christ but never put down roots for their faith grow, to affirm their faith in Jesus and finally to put down roots and grow to maturity in Christ. Whichever one you might be, I pray that the Lord would use this material to guide you to an enriching experience with living in fellowship and on purpose for God. This course is built on the Bible and therefor you will find a lot of Scriptures in it.This journey is made up of a few phases. It is called a Discipleship journey from which you will benefit most if you follow them through systematically from Step One to Step Five. This course will take you at least One Year to complete, however, as with living trees, it takes a lifetime to grow into a mighty tree. By daily drawing sap through our spiritual roots, being firmly grounded in the Word, prayer and in Fellowship, we will grow slowly and steadily.DISCIPLESHIP ONE - SALVATIONThe first phase of discipleship deals with the germination of our seed of faith. This phase deals with the essentials, or elementary applications of putting our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. DISCIPLESHIP TWO - ESTABLISHING ROOTS, VALUES AND DISCIPLINESThe second phase deals with establishing roots from which our faith will grow and mature. Instilling the Values of the Kingdom of God develops our spiritual roots. We develop spiritual disciplines to keep and maintain these values in our lives.DISCIPLESHIP THREE - DEVELOPING GIFTS AND SKILLSThe third phase of Discipleship deals with discovering and developing our spiritual gifts. It is the time when we develop ministry skills to fulfil our calling in service of the Lord and we continue to grow strong and healthy roots to ensure that we, both bring forth healthy fruit, as well as, withstand the evil temptation of the enemy.DISCIPLESHIP FOUR - FRUITFULNESSThe fourth phase of Discipleship deals with us bearing Fruit through consistently putting into practice what we've learnt, by living a life of love, that is worth following, and shepherding those entrusted to our care.DISCIPLESHIP FIVE - MULTIPLICATIONThe fifth phase of Discipleship deals with our Disciples multiplying themselves through their Disciples, by helping and guiding them to consistently put into practice what they've learnt, and to help their Disciples to do the same. We model it to them by living a life of love, that remains worth following, and shepherding them into their purpose.I trust that this will be the beginning of living a fulfilled life in the footsteps of Jesus.In His Service and for His Glory!

Since each kanji character in the Japanese language is associated with its own unique vocabulary, the study of kanji unavoidably requires that students learn many new Japanese words. To help you organize and keep track of the new words that are introduced in our four Learn to Read in Japanese books, we have assembled this companion glossary.The glossary lists more than 9,700 Japanese terms that are used in the four books, and it provides definitions and memory aides for nearly every term. The memory aides are of two types: explanations which describe how the listed terms are derived from other known Japanese words, or when such explanations aren't possible, mnemonics to help you to remember the terms' definitions and pronunciations. The glossary also identifies more than 10,000 synonyms (or at least "related terms") which make it possible for you to compare similar words side by side.Of course, this glossary cannot replace a good Japanese dictionary, nor is it intended to do so. However, it includes thousands of explanations, mnemonics and synonyms that you won't find in a standard dictionary, and it focuses precisely on the terms that you will encounter in the four Learn to Read in Japanese books. We think that it will help to make your Japanese study easier and more interesting.

Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit. Jesus was born by the Spirit, filled by the Spirit, led by the Spirit, empowered by the Spirit, and offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross by the eternal Spirit. Then at His ascension, He prayed to the Father that His followers would have the same power available to them. However, as modern believers, we have worked very hard to minimize our dependence on the Holy Spirit. In Spirit-Filled Jesus, Vladimir Savchuk presents the life of Jesus as an example for us to follow into living an abundant life full of the Holy Spirit and His power. We are called to pick up our cross and follow Him, but we can't do that unless we rely on the Holy Spirit the same way He did. Find out more in Spirit-Filled Jesus!
