Building Blocks of Life – Bible Study
Building Blocks of Life is a fifteen-lesson course providing practical application of biblical truths for the Christian faith. It is a Scripture-rich study covering several foundational truths important for successful Christian living. The lessons are well laid out with full documentation. While the printable PDF file and MP3 audio files for each lesson are designed to be used together, either can be used alone. Feel free to pass these along to others who may be interested in growing in the Lord. (This material can be distributed freely, but it is not to be sold.)
Building Blocks of Life has been reworked, updated, and expanded! It is now called “Building Blocks of Life – 16 Discipleship Principles” and is available for free download (PDF). It can also be purchased in a paperback version from Amazon. This new version can be used with the following links to audio (MP3) teaching sessions (with the exception of the new “Love Like Jesus” session which has been added to the book).
Lesson 1: The Authority of the Word
The foundation and guide for the Christian life is the Word of God. Within its vast wisdom we find the keys to salvation for every area of our life: spirit, soul, and body. For a person to be solid in his beliefs about God, he must establish each belief on the Word. Teacher: Cere Muscarella
Lesson 2: The Lordship of Jesus Christ
How can Jesus truly be Lord of my life if I live in a way that is inconsistent with His goals and character? Am I doing things He would never do? We must start by knowing what are Jesus’ goals and character. Teacher: Sonny Bowman
Lesson 3: The Person, Work, and Ministry of the Holy Spirit
In the Godhead, the Holy Spirit plays a special role in equipping a believer to live a life that accomplishes God’s will. This session covers the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 4: Misconceptions about Tongues
There seems to be much confusion and disagreement on the purpose and the proper place of tongues. This study is designed to bring a biblical balance to the understanding of tongues and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 5: Righteousness: Set Free from Sin's Power
Would you like to be totally free from sin, bondages, and guilt? Jesus made a way. He didn’t just forgive your sins. He set you free from their power. Teacher: Sonny Bowman
Lesson 6: Spirit, Soul, and Body
How can God say we are righteous when we make such bad choices at times? The key to understanding—and correcting—this situation lies in the proper understanding of the three-part nature of man. Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 7: Worship that Moves Father's Heart
Nowhere is there more of a need for the Body of Christ to embrace His ways than in the arena of Worship! And that in fact is what true worship is, bowing down before Him, embracing His rule with abandon. Teacher: Cere Muscarella
Lesson 8: From Forgiven to Forgiving
Forgiving love is so foreign to this world’s love that even many Christians struggle with how to walk in it. It is easy to get carried away with murmuring, complaining, faultfinding, division, and bitterness. Here are some practical guidelines to help you walk in God’s love. Teacher: Sonny Bowman
Lesson 9: Faith that Pleases God
Why is faith so important? You can’t please Him without it. Strong faith is the result of rich fellowship with Father. And … fellowship is not relationship. Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 10: Healing for Life
God is our Healer! Healing is His idea! He authored all the healing promises! Healing is His heart’s desire! It is His expressed will for us, manifest through Jesus! Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 11: Effortless Prosperity
The Scriptures declare God’s all-encompassing provision to those who believe Him, trust Him, and completely yield themselves into His care as they seek His rule and transformation into the image of dear sons and daughters above all else. Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 12: The Things We Do
It’s all about relationship. This lesson explains the importance of water baptism, communion, and the laying of of hands in the lives of believers. Teacher: Sonny Bowman
Lesson 13: Being a Follower of Jesus
In the beginning of the Church, it was all about Him! He was everything! Everyone wanted Him, and everyone who believed wanted to be like Him! Jesus intended for people coming to a life of faith to be instantaneous “followers” of Him, “Never being where He isn’t and always being where He is!” Teacher: Cere Muscarella
Lesson 14: Prayer - Conversation with Your Father
Real prayer is life creating and life changing. We are working with God to determine the outcome of events. True prayer is a two-way conversion, and simply said, “talking with God, your Father.” Teacher: Stacy Collins
Lesson 15: End Times Overview
God has told us quite a bit about the end time in His Word—the Bible. And it’s a lot easier to understand the Bible teachings about End Times than many people think.
