Growing in Jesus is a set of discipleship materials prepared for Christians who wish to understand basic Christian faith and how Christian living is like. These materials can be used personally by a Christian in his/her personal study, but we recommend that they be used in the context of one-to-one discipleship where a more mature Christian can help to guide and model a younger Christian in a godly discipleship relationship.

Big Idea: Basics truths and tools for equipping Christians in the faith.

Main Purpose: Christians will understand the foundational truths and use the basic tools for Christlike growth.

1. Sessions 1-6 covers foundational Christian doctrines.
2. Sessions 7-10 covers foundational Christian living. 

Here are the materials with extra resources under each session:

• Sample devotionals:

Each item is designed to be completed within 45 to 55 minutes, ideal for a lunch break catch-up (unless if you are a really slow eater :D), depending on how much the student is willing to reflect the questions.

It is important to start with making sure all the queries and clarifications by the student are addressed. The student can also share the learning and reflection that he/she has from the corresponding session. "Session Summary" section is there for that purpose. If there is no more questions, "Meet with a friend" section is the most important to press the applications during the meet-up. It would be a great loss to simply skip the applications from the learning. So make sure it is completed thoughtfully.

Our prayer is that the student may be helped in his/her wholesome growth that will increasingly produce a heart that desires to sacrificially serve one another and to obey and be faithful to God in His word.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
