A CALL FOR FAITHFUL LEARNER IN HIS KINGDOM

CDS Term 3 has commenced last Sunday and is still available for signing up this Sunday. Please enrol with NG3 NEW CDS Champion (Julie) this week if you are interested in attending any of the classes. Fee: $7 per module to administrative and material costs (Except Seekers class which is free).
Subjects offered this semester are:
1) 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.
2) FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIAN LIVING B
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, like Holy Spirit Baptism, sex, prayer, etc. 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.
3) KNOWING GOD'S WILL
A unique yet biblical approach in understanding about God's will and His purposes for our lives. Learn how to discover God's will in major areas of our life. An essential subject for those who are serious about doing God's will.
In order to live a purposeful life, we need to know the will of God. Join this class to be inspired for God's glorious will in you! Be reminded for the abundant life He has prepared for you to discover! Be motivated to grow to grasp hold of His will and live to realise His plans in you.
4) PRINCIPLES OF FOLLOW-UP
Learn biblical and practical principles involved in nurturing a new believer. Discover how we can help lay firm foundations in their faith in order that they may keep on growing in Christ.
From this CDS I learnt how to better follow up a new believer which I believe is a must-understanding for every Christian if growing the Kingdom of God is our desire. It does not only teach biblical knowledges but also provide practical examples about what to teach them and how to understand them better.
5) BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
A thorough study of the Scriptures on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues with practical application of this gift in the church.

Acts 2:4 says that, 'All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other toungues.' The Holy Spirit will be given to those who obey the Lord. For those that have not been baptised by the Holy Spirit, please hold on to the what Acts, 5:32 says, "We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."

6) EVERYDAY EVANGELISM 2
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.
7) BIBLE STUDY METHODOLOGY
8) LEADING FELLOWSHIP GROUP C
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.
9) 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?
10) MEMBERSHIP
If you acknowledge the core values of Hope Brisbane Christian Church; if would love to call this church your home and commit in growing together with the brothers & sisters in church; if you have accepted Christ, been through water baptism and the holy spirit baptism - why don't you consider enrolling in the church membership class to advance your faith into a new level as you commit to a local church. Please express your interest to Neekee.
