It's time to get excited about the things and the Word of God. Join a CDS this Sunday at Hope Brisbane Christian Church from 1.30pm - 2.45pm. We're a place filled with people who are excited about what God is teaching and the new things He is bringing to His followers. Come and learn about the amazing things He wants to do in and through our lives as we equip ourselves with His teaching. You can be a greater vessel of Christ if you avail yourself......


Subjects offered this semester are:

1. FOUNDATIONS OF CHRISTIAN LIVING A
This subject is designed for new believers who desire to build a strong biblical foundation in their daily living. The students will learn biblical principles of how to deal with basic issues that Christians normally face. An interactive class that encourages students' participation.
This world is full of lies and unrighteousness. As a young or even a revision-needed Christian, why not take this opportunity to grapple with the truths of Scripture and learn the application of godly principles in our daily lives.

2. LEADING FELLOWSHIP GROUP B
We want to build strong biblical churches and this requires effective leadership. This subject provides comprehensive understanding and principles of how to become effective leaders of God. It's time to rise up and learn how to lead a group that achieves the purposes that God has put in us. This CDS offers you all that you need!
In order to improve, grow and develop further, as a group or a church - we need good leaders to arise and lead. If God has put such a burden in your heart, why not start equipping yourself through this class? A true understanding of competence, the skills for the tasks required, is foundational to trust in your leadership.

3. PRINCIPLES OF FAITH
Learn the biblical principles of faith and how we can tap intothe faith that God has provided us.

4. DOCTRINES A
Learn basic theology covering areas such as God, Christ, Holy Spirit, Angels and demons. An essential course for those desiring to obtain an overview of the foundational Christian truths.

5. HEART OF PRAISE & WORSHIP
Learn the Scriptural basis for worship and its varied forms of personal and corporate expression. Discover also through practical sessions how we can better worship God. A must for every believer.
I have personally attended this CDS and found it does not only improve my understanding about the kind of P&W that pleases God but also enhance my daily devotional time with Him as I apply the teaching in my daily life and maintain a heart of praise & worship unto Him.

6. SEEKERS @ COFFEE CORNER
This class is offered for anyone who'd like to know more about Christianity. With a casual and discussional setting, attendants are encouraged to ask questions and raise any queries about Christianity and its faith.

7. 40 DAYS OF PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
Has the question 'What on earth am I here for?' passed your mind? This subject is based on the best selling book "Purpose Driven Life' by Ps Rick Warren. The course components include a weekly video, small group discussions and book readings. All designed to help you seek out and discover the purpose you were created for in God.
Have you ever wondered why God created you? The Bible says that before the creation of the world, God has your purpose in mind. I believe that each of us is created to represent Him and His Word to the world. Why don't we find out about this together?

8. EVERYDAY EVANGELISM 1
Be equipped with practical tools for personal evangelism. Learn how to share the Gospel in a concise yet biblical manner, how to use illustrations and to deal with common objections. A must for those who desire to be an effective witness for Christ.

9. PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER
Prayer is a direct line to God. Discover biblical principles that will increase our appreciation of the power of prayer and practical insights that will increase our passion for prayer.

10. MEMBERSHIP 101 & 201
