The objective is to create disciplers, not just disciples. Lessons include: Assurance of Salvation; Victory Over Sin and Temptation; Prayer; The Bible - God's Word; Sharing Your Faith; Fellowship; The Attributes of God; The Person of Jesus; The Holy Spirit; Stewardship; Obedience; and Spiritual Gifts.
