TASTE AND SEE THAT THE WORD IS GOOD


Before you read further, I challenge you to take the following Christian Character Development Survey and see how much time you have spent in the past 6 months in developing the Christian character in you. As you do the survey, you will become aware of certain areas that need improvement in your life.
With much appreciation to the tremendous effort our church is making in helping us to grow in the different areas of our Christian life, CDS will be commencing a new term for enrolment from this Sunday onwards.
Please enrol with NG3 CDS Champion Julie this Sunday 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) 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.


4) 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.

Students will have the opportunity to learn through a video series from a variety of international leaders. The Willow Creek's annual Leadership Summit provides an opportunity for leaders and aspiring leaders to gain leadership skills, perspectives and insights that will help equip Christians for leadership in the church and the marketplace.
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.
