💁🏻 Concept: EvangelismEvangelism is the proclamation of the gospel to unbelievers. The word comes from the Greek εὐαγγελίζω (euangelizō), which means "to announce good news." It is not just an optional task—it is the joyful duty of every believer to share the message of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection to a world in desperate need of salvation. The main goal of evangelism is to submit the nations under the Lordship of Christ. 
 
📖 Bible Readings: 2 Peter 1:11(Matthew 4:23; 2 Peter 1:11; Luke 14:33; Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:14–15; Acts 1:8; 2 Timothy 4:2; 1 Corinthians 9:16; Luke 19:10; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Romans 1:16)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:Biblical Evangelism:1. It is “incarnational,” not merely “intellectual.” 2. It is “earthward,” not merely “heavenward.”3. It is about “Lordship,” not merely about “salvation.”
 
💪🏼 Applications:1. Live worthy of the gospel of Christ. 2. Share the earthward gospel of the Kingdom. 3. Evangelize all areas of life under the Lordship of Christ. 
🎙Discussion:Why do we have to share the gospel that Jesus is both Lord and Savior?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for the good news of salvation through Jesus. You rescued me and gave me eternal hope. Now, give me the courage to share that same hope with others. Help me not to be ashamed of the gospel, but to speak it with love and boldness. Open doors for divine conversations and prepare hearts to receive the truth. Remind me that I am not alone—Your Spirit empowers me. Use my voice to proclaim the conquering gospel and bring the lost into Your family. May my life and words always point to Jesus. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray, amen!

💁🏻 Concept: Eucharist or Lord’s SupperThe Eucharist, also known as the Lord’s Supper or Communion, is a sacred Christian practice instituted by Jesus. The term comes from the Greek word eucharisteo, meaning "to give thanks." It is a visible sign of the gospel—remembering Christ’s body broken for us and His blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. More than a ritual, it is a holy communion with Christ and His people. It nourishes our faith, strengthens our unity, and reminds us of the cross, the resurrection, and the hope of His return.
Purpose for doing the Lord’s Supper:1. To remember Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice. 2. To nourish the believers with Christ real spiritual presence. 3. To strengthen the faith of the believers. 4. To remind the believers that they belong to one body.5. To anticipate the physical return of Christ. 
📖 Bible Readings: Luke 22:19-20(1 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 6:53-58; Acts 2:42; Matthew 26:26-29; Hebrews 10:10-12)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:The Eucharist:1. It is mandatory to church/gathering. 2. It is revisiting the cross of Christ until He comes.  3. It helps believers experience the real spiritual presence of Christ. 
💪🏼 Applications:1. Revisit the cross of Christ. 2. Remember the seriousness of Christ’s love.3. Renew your commitment to Christ and to His body—the church. 
🎙Discussion:Why should you practice the Eucharist or Lord’s Supper as often as possible?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Lord Jesus, thank You for giving Your body and blood for me. The Eucharist is more than a ritual—it’s a reminder of Your love, sacrifice, and victory. As I remember You through the bread and the cup, deepen my love for You and strengthen my faith. Help me to live with gratitude, knowing I am forgiven, redeemed, and made whole in You. Unite my heart with my fellow believers, and teach me to walk in humility, love, and hope until You come again. Let the cross shape my daily life. This is my prayer—amen and amen!

💁🏻 Concept: EternityEternity, when used of God, means that He has no beginning, end, or change. He is the eternal, unchanging Creator, and He sees all moments—past, present, and future—at once (Psalm 90:2). While God exists beyond time, He still works within time according to His perfect will.
📖 Bible Readings: Psalm 90:2(Daniel 12:2, Matthew 25:46, Revelation 22:13, 2 Peter 3:8, Isaiah 57:15; Malachi 3:6; Numbers 23:19; Psalm 102:25-27; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Colossians 3:4; John 14:6; 1 John 5:11-12; John 11:25, 14:6 1 John 1:2, 5:20)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. God is eternal and therefore unchanging. 2. God exists both outside and inside of time. 3. God gives us the life of Christ—our eternal life. 
💪🏼 Applications:1. Trust that God does not change over time. 2. Do not give up, because God is actively working. 3. Remember that our suffering is temporary, while our hope in Christ is eternal.  
🎙Discussion:How does God’s unchanging nature strengthen our faith in a changing world?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Eternal God, You are beyond time, and yet You have chosen to be present with us in every moment. Thank You for Your unchanging nature, that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Help me to live in the light of eternity, not distracted by the temporary things of this world.

💁🏻 Concept: Eternal SecurityEternal security is often misunderstood. While it’s true that those who are truly saved will never lose their salvation, not everyone who professes faith has genuine saving faith. This is why many theologians prefer the term “perseverance of the saints.” It means that true believers will endure in faith to the end—not by their own strength, but by God's preserving grace (John 10:28–29; Phil. 1:6). This is both a comfort and a call to examine ourselves in the faith.
📖 Bible Readings: John 10:27–29(Philippians 1:6; Romans 8:29–39; 1 John 2:19; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Matthew 7:21–23; 2 Peter 1:10–11; Hebrews 3:14; 1 John 5:11-13; Titus 2:11-12)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. Not all professions of faith are genuine conversions. 2. True believers are preserved by God and will persevere in faith.3. God secures our salvation, and genuine fruit will show it.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Examine your faith to see if you are truly in Christ.2. Endure in faith, trusting in God’s sustaining grace.3. Encourage others to pursue holiness, not false assurance.
🎙Discussion:Why is it important to focus on the evidence of salvation rather than assurance of salvation?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness in holding me fast. I rest in Your promise that no one can snatch me from Your hand. But Lord, I also ask You to search my heart. Let me not be content with mere outward religion or empty profession. Help me walk in true repentance and obedient faith, bearing fruit that glorifies You. When I am weak, remind me that You are strong. Strengthen me to endure, to keep believing, and to finish well. Thank You that my salvation is secure—not because of me, but because of Christ. In His name I pray, amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Eternal Conscious PunishmentThis is the belief that those who reject Christ will experience a real, unending, and fully conscious punishment in hell. It’s not mere annihilation or temporary suffering. It is eternal separation from God, marked by awareness, regret, and torment (Luke 16:23–24). While this may sound severe, it highlights the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God—and why the gospel is such urgent good news.
📖 Bible Readings: Luke 16:19-31(Matthew 25:41, 46; Isaiah 6:24; Revelation 20:10-15; Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; Hebrews 10:29-31; Romans 2:5-8; Jude 1:7)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. God is the offended party. 2. God is holy and just.3. God made hell to punish evil doers.  
💪🏼 Applications:1. Acknowledge the seriousness and gravity of sin.2. Advance the gospel with urgency and compassion.3. Appreciate the love and justice of God displayed on the cross of Christ. 
🎙Discussion:Why do you need to consider sharing the gospel of Christ as urgent?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Righteous Father, thank You for showing me the seriousness of sin and the justice of Your character. I tremble at the thought of eternal punishment, yet I praise You for saving me through Jesus. I don’t deserve Your mercy, but You freely gave it through the cross. Help me not to be numb to the reality of hell, but to live with urgency, compassion, and gratitude. Use me to warn others, to love them enough to speak the truth, and to lead them toward Christ. Let my heart burn with a desire to see people saved. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: EschatologyEschatology is the study of the last things—God’s plan for the future, including Christ’s return, the final judgment, and the renewal of all things. While some approach the future with fear, the Bible teaches us that God’s sovereignty extends to the end of history. For believers, eschatology is not about speculation but about hope. Christ will return, justice will prevail, and God’s kingdom will be fully realized.

👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:Three crucial end times teachings: 1. God controls the future. 2. Jesus will return in glory. 3. Creation will be restored. 
💪🏼 Applications:1. Fear not but trust God for the future. 2. Live with eschatological purpose. 3. Hope in Christ’s return. 
🎙Discussion:How does knowing that Christ will restore all things affect the way you live today?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing Your plan for the future through Your Word. In a world filled with uncertainty, I find peace knowing that You are in control. Help me to live with faith, hope, and obedience, looking forward to the day when Christ returns in glory. Keep my heart from fear and speculation, and instead, fill me with a passion to share the gospel and serve You faithfully. May my life, relationships, career, and all things that I have reflect the hope of eternity. May I long for the day when You will wipe away every tear, bring an end to the reign of sin and death, and permanently destroy Satan. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Equality in PersonhoodAll people are created in the image of God, making them equally valuable in His sight. Society often honors the wealthy and famous while neglecting the poor, vulnerable, and unpopular. But God does not show favoritism. He calls us to treat everyone with the same love, respect, and dignity—whether rich or poor, powerful or weak. True biblical equality is not about status but about seeing every person as God sees them.
📖 Bible Readings: James 2:1(Genesis 1:27; Leviticus 19:15; Zechariah 7:9-10; Proverbs 22:2; James 2:1-9; Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:25; Matthew 25:40; Luke 14:12-14; Matthew 5:46-48; 1 Samuel 16:7)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. All persons are equally made in God’s image.2. Christians ought to treat others fairly.3. Loving God is best expressed in loving people.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Care for the uncared-for.2. Notice the unnoticed.3. Love the unlovable.
🎙Discussion:Why do you think society values the wealthy and famous more than the poor and unpopular? How can we, as Christians, change this mindset?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for creating all people in Your image. In a world that honors the rich and powerful, help me to see people as You do—equally loved, equally valuable, and equally worthy of kindness. Guard my heart against favoritism, and teach me to serve the least among us with the same love and respect I would give to the greatest. May I reflect Your justice, grace, and mercy in my actions, treating all with fairness and love. Let my life be a testimony that in Your kingdom, no one is greater or lesser, for we are all Your children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Empowerment for ServiceOne of the primary works of the Holy Spirit is to empower believers for service. Through the Holy Spirit, God equips and strengthens His people to accomplish His purposes. This empowerment is not merely for personal gain but to manifest God’s presence and bless others. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts, boldness, and wisdom, enabling every believer to serve in ways that bring glory to God and build up the church.
📖 Bible Readings: Acts 1:8(1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 2:10, 3:16, 4:11-13; Romans 12:6-8; John 14:26; 2 Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 13:20-21; Matthew 10:19-20; Mark 13:11; Luke 12:11-12)

🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit, who empowers me to serve You and others. Help me to recognize the spiritual gifts You’ve given me and to use them faithfully for Your glory. Strengthen me with boldness, wisdom, and compassion so that I can bring evidence of Your presence to those around me. May I serve with humility and joy, knowing that every act of service is an opportunity to reflect Your love. Help me to encourage others to do the same, as we build up Your church together. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: ElectionElection is the act of God, made before the foundation of the world, in which He chooses certain individuals for salvation. This choice is not based on any merit or good works on their part but solely on God’s sovereign will and grace. Election reveals God’s incredible mercy and highlights the truth that salvation is a gift, not earned by human effort, but given freely by God’s grace. 
📖 Bible Readings: Ephesians 1:4-5(Deuteronomy 7:6, 7:7; Isaiah 45:4; Matthew 22:14; John 6:37, 39-40, 44; John 15:16; Acts 13:48; Romans 8:28-30, 9:11-13, 16; Ephesians 1:4-5, 11; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 1:9; 2 Timothy 2:10; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 2:9; Revelation 13:8; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 10:27-29; Romans 5:8, 8:38-39; Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 7:25; Titus 2:11-12)

💪🏼 Applications:1. Find security in God’s election.2. Have a worshipful and grateful heart.3. Prove your salvation by living a renewed life.
🎙Discussion:Knowing that God chose you, has chosen you, and will always choose you, how does this impact your security in Christ?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing love and grace. I was lost in sin, undeserving and unworthy, yet You chose me. Not because of anything I have done, but because of Your great mercy. When I was unlovable, You loved me. When I was broken, You restored me. Your grace reached me when I had nothing to offer. Thank You for calling me Your own, for never abandoning me, and for holding me in Your hands. Help me to live in gratitude, to walk in obedience, and to reflect Your love to others. All glory belongs to You, my Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Elders / LeadersIn the New Testament, elders (Greek: presbyteros) were appointed to shepherd, teach, and oversee local churches. They are also called overseers (bishop - episkopos) and pastors (shepherds - poimen), showing their responsibility to care for God’s flock.
Notes:1. Elders, bishops and pastors refer to the same role. 2. Elders are leaders of the New Testament churches. 3. Elders are selected mainly by moral standard. 
📖 Bible Readings: Acts 20:28(1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 2:25, 5:1-3; Acts 14:23, 20:17, 28; James :14; Hebrews 13:17; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13; Mark 10:45)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:On Being a Leader: 1. It is primarily a function, not just a title.2. It is primarily about morality, not just skills.   3. It is primarily about serving, not being served.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Lead according to your own God-given capacity. 2. Lead as a messenger who lives the message. 3. Lead a small group in your church or community. 
🎙Discussion:How can you be a better leader at home, church, community, business, or organization? 
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for calling me to lead in the capacity You have given me. Help me to be a leader who reflects Christ—serving rather than seeking to be served. Grant me wisdom to lead with humility, integrity, and love. Strengthen my character so that my leadership is built on good character rather than mere ability. Teach me to shepherd others with patience and grace, always pointing them to You. May I lead in my home, church, and community in a way that glorifies You. Fill me with Your Spirit and guide my steps daily. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: EkklesiaThe term ekklesia is a Greek word translated as “church” in the New Testament. It literally means “assembly” or “gathering,” and refers to the congregation of God’s people. In Scripture, ekklesia represents both the local gathering of believers and the universal body of Christ, united by faith in Jesus. The church is not a building; it is the people who belong to God, called out from the world to live as His followers.
📖 Bible Readings: Matthew 16:18(Acts 2:42-47; Ephesians 2:19-22, 4:12; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Romans 14:19; 1 Corinthians 14:26; 1 Peter 4:10)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. The church is the universal, living body of Christ.2. God calls His people to gather regularly.3. Every believer is a vital part of the body of Christ.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Never be a stand-alone Christian. 2. Gather regularly in small discipleship groups. 3. Join with the intent to edify fellow believers. 
🎙Discussion:Why is gathering together as the ekklesia—the church—important for our spiritual growth?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for calling us into Your family, the ekklesia, Your church. I am grateful to be part of a community of believers, each with unique gifts and talents. Help me to prioritize gathering with my brothers and sisters in Christ, not only for my own spiritual growth, but to encourage others. Give me a servant’s heart to contribute to the unity and strength of Your church. May we reflect Your love to the world as we gather and serve together. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: EgalitarianismEgalitarianism holds that all roles and functions in the church are equally available to men and women. This view emphasizes that in Christ, there is neither male nor female, and that all believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve God without gender distinctions. Egalitarianism stands in contrast to complementarianism, which teaches distinct roles for men and women within the church and family.
My View: Men and women are equally created in God’s image and share in the blessings of salvation (Genesis 1:27; Galatians 3:28). Both are called to serve God and use their gifts for the building up of His church (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). However, Scripture also teaches that God has designed distinct roles within the home and the church (1 Timothy 2:12-14; Ephesians 5:22-25). While men are called to leadership in the church as pastors and elders, women play an essential role in ministry—teaching, discipling, serving, and advancing the mission of the gospel (Titus 2:3-5; Romans 16:1-7). Rather than diminishing value, these distinct roles reflect God’s wisdom and bring order and strength to the church.
📖 Bible Readings: Luke 8:1-3(Acts 2:17-18; Romans 16:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 4:11-13; Galatians 3:28; Romans 16:1-7; Philippians 4:3)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. The Holy Spirit empowers all believers.2. Women are better at providing emotional support. 3. Women supported Jesus and the Apostles.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Recognize the value and gifts of women. 2. Unleash the power of women in the ministry. 3. Start complementing, stop competing. 
🎙Discussion:In what ways do men and women compete, how should they complement each other? 
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for creating both men and women in Your image and calling us to serve in Your Kingdom. Help me to recognize the value and gifts You have given to each person, affirming their role in building up the church. Teach us to complement rather than compete, working together in unity and love. May we encourage and equip one another to serve with joy, using our unique strengths for Your glory. Strengthen Your church, Lord, and guide us in faithfulness as we proclaim the gospel to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Effective CallingEffective calling: An act of God the Father, speaking through the human proclamation of the gospel, in which he summons people to Christ through the Holy Spirit, in such a way that they respond in saving faith. 
📖 Bible Readings: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14(Romans 8:30; John 6:37, 44; 1 Corinthians 1:9, 24; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:9; 1 Peter 2:9; John 16:8-11; Romans 8:14; 1 Corinthians 2:10-14; Titus 3:5; Acts 16:14)

💪🏼 Applications:1. Listen to God's call.2. Pray for our loved ones. 3. Trust in the Spirit’s work. 
🎙Discussion:How does understanding God’s effective calling inspire us to pray persistently for our loved ones’ salvation?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for calling me to salvation through the power of Your Word and Spirit. I recognize that my faith is not my own doing but a gift from You. Help me to trust in Your calling and walk in the assurance that You complete the work You begin. May I respond with joy and obedience, sharing the gospel boldly, knowing that You are the One who draws people to Christ. Lord God, I pray that You will open the hearts of my loved ones so that they too will become followers of Jesus. I ask that the Spirit will soften their hearts that they may believe in the gospel and surrender their lives to Jesus. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Economic SubordinationEconomic subordination in the Trinity means that the Son and the Spirit willingly follow the Father’s leadership in the work of salvation, while still being fully equal in divine nature. This does not mean they are lesser in being, but that they have different roles in God’s plan for redemption.

💁🏻 Concept: Eastern ChurchThe Eastern Church, now known as the Orthodox Church, separated from the Western Church (Roman Catholicism) in A.D. 1054 due to theological, political, and cultural differences. While both traditions hold to core Christian beliefs, their division reminds us of the importance of unity in Christ. True unity is not found in institutional alignment but in a shared faith in the gospel and a life centered on Christ.
📖 Bible Readings: John 17:20-23(Romans 16:17; Ephesians 4:1-6; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 3:3-4, 12:25; Colossians 3:13-14; Philippians 2:1-3; Titus 3:10-11)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. True unity is spiritual, not merely organizational.2. Sowing disunity in the church is opposing Christ. 3. True Christians are converted to Christ, not to a religion. 
 
💪🏼 Applications:1. Pursue unity in Christ and avoid causing division. 2. Love fellow believers despite differences. 3. Focus on what unites rather than what divides.
🎙Discussion:How can we promote love and unity in the body of Christ despite theological and cultural differences?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, Thank You for calling us into one body through Jesus Christ. Though divisions exist in the church, remind us that our true unity is found in You. Help me to love my brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of differences, and to focus on what unites us—Christ and the gospel. Keep me from pride and judgment, and give me a heart that seeks peace and understanding. Humble me, Lord. Use me to be Your agent of peace, unity, and love. May Your church reflect the love, grace, and truth of Christ so that the world may see Your glory. Use me as an instrument of unity and reconciliation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
