Paul Esuon introduces the course journey and explains why the Gospels—the biblical accounts of Christ’s birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension—form its foundation. These are not intended to be teaching sessions only. They are sessions of immersion, impartation, examination and practical application.
The opening section considers water baptism and the programme’s emphasis on being immersed in God’s Word, the Holy Spirit and fire. The baptism of fire includes allowing the hard truth of Scripture to expose anything that prevents a disciple’s relationship with God from becoming strong.
Before beginning Matthew, Paul explains why his teaching journey is documented.
Bring Fruit That Proves Your Repentance
What kind of foundation is required for someone to undergo the discipleship of Jesus Christ?
This is Lesson 1 of DISCIPLESHIP OF JESUS—a new podcast and discipleship training series devoted to learning Jesus through the Gospels, following His way and being progressively transformed into His likeness.
The programme goes beyond acquiring information about Jesus or adopting the identity of a disciple. It examines the process through which a person learns, relearns, unlearns, obeys, repents and becomes established upon the foundation of Jesus Christ crucified.
The devil can quote Scripture. How does a disciple respond faithfully? Follow Jesus through the wilderness and into the teaching of Matthew 5, where kingdom life becomes a matter of conduct and the heart.
Who is the audience for your obedience? Matthew 6 brings giving, prayer, forgiveness, possessions and anxiety under the searching question of what your heart is seeking.
How do you judge rightly, recognise fruit and build a life that can stand?Matthew 7 moves beyond profession to the evidence of a life responding to Jesus.
How do you test a spiritual voice and respond to Jesus' authority? A review of Matthew 7 leads into the healings, encounters and discipleship demands of Matthew 8.
Following Jesus touches priorities as well as ministry. This lesson returns to the cost of discipleship before exploring the mercy, wisdom and authority revealed in Matthew 9.
Jesus sends His disciples with authority and gives them warnings. Study the instructions of Matthew 10, including provision, persecution, courage, loyalty and receiving those He sends.
What happens when the work of Jesus does not look the way you expected? Matthew 11 leads from John's question to Jesus' testimony, a call to repentance and His invitation to rest.
Revisit Matthew 11 through questions about God's goodness, judgment, offence, obedience and the rest Jesus promises. This is a companion review of Lesson 8, not a replacement for it.
What happens when religious observance comes into conflict with a person's need? Explore the opening of Matthew 12 and consider how Jesus' words challenge our understanding of mercy, obedience and rest.
The programme goes beyond acquiring information about Jesus or adopting the identity of a disciple. It examines the process through which a person learns, relearns, unlearns, obeys, repents and becomes established upon the foundation of Jesus Christ crucified.
