- Introduction:This lesson follows on the first two topics which emphasize, to begin with, the fact that the Bible’s authority is a basis for leading others to discipleship and secondly, that parable, metaphor and story are some of the best ways to communicate the Christian message to others. This lesson talks about prayer, particularly intercessory prayer, as a key to seeing change in our lives and in particular leading others to faith. We must move out of the mode of only praying for our own needs and in love move on to intercede for others and their salvation.
