Fundaments of Christianity One
Preface
Fundamentals of Christianity One is a free discipleship course offered by chosen Explosion House church Network that teaches the basics of our Christian faith. If you are seeking layman’s ministry training in order to plant house churches or if you simply want to learn more about God in order to advance your spiritual growth, Fundaments of Christianity One and Fundamentals of Christianity Two will give you a good, solid foundation by helping you understand basic foundational Christian truths.
For those of you who are able to attend the meetings, your meetings will last about one hour. They consist of approximately thirty minutes of teaching, and thirty minutes of discussion, accountability and prayer. There will also be a ten question, true or false quiz to see if you retained the most important elements of each lesson. You are not allowed to miss more than two meetings during the twelve weeks and still receive credit for the course without making up the missed meetings. Please bring your Bible and the notebook we provide to every meeting.
For those of you completing this course on line, work at your own pace. Each lesson will take 30 - 45 minutes to complete. Our system will keep record of your work and grades.
In Fundamentals of Christianity One, you will be presented with a set of challenges each week. These challenges are designed to help you set up disciplined, character-building habits that will serve you well in your Christian walk. The challenges are as follows.
1. Scripture reading: two chapters each day.
One chapter from a specified book and chapter of the bible
A chapter from the book of Proverbs that corresponds with the current day of the month (For example, on the twelfth of the month read Proverbs twelve, on the sixth day of the month read Proverbs chapter six.)
2. Scripture Memorization: Memorize one or two specified verses each week.
3. Prayer: Spend the specified amount of time in prayer each day beginning with no less than ten minutes each day building to longer periods over time. If you are a new Christian, pray mainly for yourself, asking God to help you in all of your weak areas. Also, pray for your family, friends, your classmates, Chosen Explosion, your community, school and nation.
4. Operation L.O.V.E.: (Living Out Virtuous Examples) Each week you will be given a different love challenge. This is practice in fulfilling the greatest command, to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself.
You have made the right choice to give time to your spiritual growth. The education you receive from school or college is important, but pales in comparison to the importance of learning and growing in the things of God. Our time on this earth is short for each of us, but our spirit will live forever. Spiritual education will give you a good life, will prepare you to do the works of Jesus, and will prepare you for an eternity with God. May God bless each of you in all of your ministry endeavors and also on your journey to complete spiritual maturity.
