Publisher's Synopsis
Discover Jesus is a 12 week Bible study course for non-Christians and new believers. The material starts out by focusing people on asking why God created us. Everyone is looking for a sense of meaning or purpose in life, but because we are created, we cannot define that purpose for ourselves. We can only discover our purpose from God Himself. And He only shows us His design through Jesus. In the course we look at the different ways that Jesus reveals the Father and who He created us to be. We discover that we were created through Jesus and for Him. We look at how Jesus died and rose again to free us from our selfishness and sin and to restore us into His image. We look at the awesome wonder of living in the image of God, but also at the cost of following Jesus. If we are to be His disciples we must take up our cross and let Him redefine our lives so that we can live in unity and love with Jesus. Our goal is not just to help people to understand the gospel, but to entice people to enter into a romance with Jesus. We are preparing people to love Jesus with all their hearts. Those who make a decision to follow Jesus at the end of the course will be people who are willing to live fully for Jesus; people who are want to give their lives to loving God and others. The Bible study series spans 12 weeks, depending on the group dynamics. At the end of the course, if people want to continue meeting together to study the word of God then we have more studies and resources available. These can be found online at www.discoverjesus.today
