Disciple 1
DISCIPLE 1
"Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study"
DISCIPLE 1 is a 34-week overview of the Bible. Beginning with Genesis and continuing through Revelation, participants will read approximately 80% of the Bible during this life-changing study. Students have daily assignments in the Bible and study manual and they discuss these assignments in their weekly group meeting. Each of the 34 chapters in the study manual has a theme word and a theme verse that provides a perspective from which to read and think about the Scripture readings of the week.
Classes are offered Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30. Limited child-care is available. There is a child-care fee of $3.00 per child with a maximum of $6.00 per family per class. Childcare fees for the 34 week session are due the first day class ($102 for 1 child or $204 per family). Scholarships are available. If you have questions please contact Lori Trupp, Associate Director of Children's Ministry, at lori.trupp@cor.org.

Disciple 2
DISCIPLE 2
"Into the Word Into the World"
DISCIPLE 2 is an in-depth study of Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts. Genesis and Exodus are foundational books of the Bible that cover creation, Noah and the ark, the call of Abraham, the stories of Moses, the Ten Commandments and much more! The writings of Dr. Luke, who wrote both Luke and Acts, cover more of the New Testament than any other single author including Paul. From the first chapter of Luke through the last chapter of Acts, the Holy Spirit is active in a very powerful way. These writings are very readable and convey information and an excitement about the early church that are not to be found anywhere else in the Bible.
The emphasis of this 32-week study is both to understand the text (Into the Word) and to allow the text to challenge and inspire the student to respond in practical ways (Into the World). In addition to the Bible study, each lesson identifies one spiritual discipline to experience during the week.
Classes are offered several times a week, with morning classes starting at 9:30 and evening classes at 6:30. For specific days of the week, e-mail Dave Robertson. Child-care is available for some classes and there is a child-care fee of $3.00 per child with a maximum of $6.00 per family per session. Class fee is $15.00. Scholarships are available. Study manuals are $30 and are available at The Well.

"Remember Who You Are"
The Prophets in the Old Testament, from Isaiah to Malachi and the Letters of Paul in the New Testament are the books read in DISCIPLE 3. By studying the prophets and learning of the mistakes made by God’s people in the past, we can hopefully avoid making those same mistakes going forward as the church of Christ. The writings of Paul are instructional, challenging and thought-provoking for the serious Bible student. A 32-week study.

Disciple Bible Study Overview
Disciple Bible Study is Church of the Resurrection’s introductory Bible study with over 4,500 people in classes over the last 15 years. What makes Disciple such a great study?
- Disciple gives you the big picture overview of the Bible and helps new readers make sense of the awe-inspiring book.
- Disciple lays out a daily reading plan which helps develop a daily time experiencing Christ reading God's Word.
- Disciple is a discussion-based study where you learn how God has spoken to each person in your small group and learn from others and they learn from you.
- Disciple helps you understand what it means to be a Disciple of Jesus Christ through a "Mark of Discipleship" each week leading you becoming Disciples.
- Disciple can be a life transforming study. D.L Moody once said, "The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge. It was given to change lives." Many people at Resurrection have found new life in Christ through this study.
Breaking Down the Myths
- "I don't think I can commit to a 32-week study." Discipleship is a life-long process of spiritual growth. 4,500 people have taken this study. You can do it!
- "My kids are young and I'll wait until they get older." Kids learn the most when they are young. They need you teaching them the Bible and if you don't know it, how can you teach them?
- "I don't know anyone." Disciple Bible Study is done in small groups and many, many friendships have been formed through study God's Word together. Many small groups started with Disciple and have been together now for years.
- "I'm too busy." All Disciple asks you to do is read God's Word for 20 minutes a day and show up one time a week to talk about it.
- "I don't like to read." God expects us to know God's Word. An athlete can be very gifted, but if they don't know the playbook they are of little value to their team. As Christians, our playbook is the Bible and if we are to be contributors to faith, we need to know it, read it, and use it for God's glory.
For more information about Disciple or to join a small group, email David Robertson or call 913-544-0246.
