God’s plan is both individual and corporate. The boundaries and goals of each purpose are different and should never be confused with one another.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” This is a course on Psalm 15:1 NKJV that asks the question, “LORD, who may abide in Your Tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?”

May there be a fresh passion ignited in your heart to share the love of Christ with the unconverted. When you see people who are bound by the chains of sin, the compassion of God rises up on the inside of you and breaks your heart, because you know Jesus wants to set them free. Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. (John 4:35 KJV)

The Doctrine of Christ (Laying the Foundation) I & 2 – Hebrews 6:1-3
{DC1148 & 1149}
This course examines a believer’s spiritual foundation of faith. A natural house, and a spiritual house (life of faith) must be built on an acceptable foundation. Jesus said: “Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like.” One man heard Jesus and obeyed building his foundation on the rock. Another man heard but disobeyed building his house on the ground. A violent storm shook both houses. Only the house founded upon the rock withstood the storm of life. The disobedient man’s house without the foundation “immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” (Luke 6:47-49 NKJV)

The Walk of Love {WF1145}
God has told us in His Word we are to make the love of God our great quest in life. The Amplified Bible says it this way: “Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire [this] love [make it your aim, your great quest];” (I Corinthians 14:1 AMPC). You will study why God’s love is so vital to your life and why it is the answer to so many of life’s problems. You will never fail learning to walk in God’s divine love!
Your Identity in Christ {YI1159}
