DISCIPLE Programme

Go deeper into God’s Word & let Holy Spirit transformed you. This bible study programme has 4 stages, each stage lasts between 32 to 34 weeks. Anyone who desires to know God’s Word and are prepared to set aside time to complete weekly reading are welcome to embark on this rewarding journey although participants need to complete the DISCIPLE I foundation study before they can register for DISCIPLE II, III & IV. Participants are encouraged to complete Disciple 1, 2, 3 & 4 studies in chronological order.
 

DISCIPLE I: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study (Click HERE to register)
This study gives the Old and New Testament equal emphasis, focusing on the wholeness of the Bible as a revelation of God. It is a 34-week study in which the principal scripture for each session follows the chronological movement of the biblical story from Creation to the New Jerusalem. The study aims to develop believers to live as committed disciples of Jesus.

DISCIPLE II: Into The Word Into The World (Click HERE to register)
This is a 32-week in-depth study of Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts, which emphasises the rhythm of coming to God and going for God, of being in the Word and in the world. Participants are encouraged to practise spiritual disciplines that are scripturally based, for the purpose of changing habits and transforming lives. Each week, participants will also be guided in experiencing the gift of Sabbath rest and renewal. The aim of this study is to take what is learned and to apply it to work in the world.

DISCIPLE III: Remember Who You Are (Click HERE to register)
This 32-week in-depth study of the prophets and the letters of Paul, focusing on the connection between memory and identity as the people of God. There are several themes in the study — the call to remember; the call to repentance; the need for renewed vision; and the place of community. These themes reflect the scriptures wherein the prophets and Paul are continually calling hearers and readers back to their God and to a sense of who they are as a people “set apart”. Hence the Marks of Obedient Community each week echo the demand of the Prophets and Paul to put God first.
 

DISCIPLE IV: Under The Tree Of Life 
This 32-week programme study in-depth the Old Testament writings, the Gospel of John, and the epistles of John, James, Jude and Revelation. The emphasis on the Psalms in the study as Israel’s hymn and prayer book leads participants to a sense of worship. Present throughout the entire study is a sense of living toward completion — toward the climax of the message and the promise, extravagantly pictured in the book of Revelation.
