Elijah’s and Elisha’s Mantle
April 30, 2011
Introduction:In many ways this lesson continues on from the previous one which showed that Jesus chose apostles to train and carry on His work of making disciples. We look more in depth in this lesson...
Introduction:The lesson series shifts gears in this segment. It moves from describing and talking about reaching specific groups with the Jesus message to talking about how to prepare disciple makers. Jesus knew His time on...
Introduction:The special population discussed in this lesson is by far the largest group of all and probably the most challenging group for Jews. Jews considered themselves God’s special chosen people and did not expect God...

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...
Introduction:In our continuing study of discipleship we discover this week that Jesus and the scriptures are often taught by using stories, parables and metaphors. The purpose was to disciple. He used this method to reach...
Introduction:This lesson emphasizes the fact that Jesus was deeply committed to the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament of Genesis to Malachi. He studied, read and quoted from it regularly and clearly viewed it as authoritative....
Leading Question: What does Malachi tell us that we need to know today? Note: Three issues/passages stand out as particularly significant for believers today: the predestinarian perspective on Jacob and Esau (1:2-3), tithing (3:10), Elijah the prophet...
