This Leaders Guide covers the following teaching topics:

• Friendship with God
• The Incomparable Jesus
• Follow Me

Friendship with God helps participants discover the joys of a friendship with God.

"Well, I go to church, but I wouldn't describe God as my best friend."
"I want to feel closer to God, but I'm not sure how to get there."

Can you hear yourself in these statements? Do you know others who would? If so, this study is a great place to learn that God is a friend worth having. You'll discover in a fresh way the God who loves you. You'll see how He has sought you out, and that He really desires to know you as a friend. You'll also learn the basic tools for two-way communication with God. This study is the foundation for all the other lessons in the Walking With God Series and can be the beginning of a vital walk with God for you.

The Incomparable Jesus deepens our understanding of Jesus and His forgiveness.

No one has been like Jesus in all of history. The work and words of God all center in Him--from the prophecies that foreshadowed Him, to His miraculous birth, to His unparalleled teaching, to His resurrection and ascension into heaven. Through an inductive study of Mathew 1-15 and other material, you'll discover the wonder and majesty as well as the tenderness and compassion of Jesus.

This workbook can be used with the next book in the Walking with God Series ("Follow Me!") as a two-part study on the life of Christ. You'll cover all of Matthew and the entire life of Christ on earth--and profoundly deepen your knowledge and experience of the matchless Forgiver and King named Jesus.

Follow Me! helps believers know how to follow Jesus in daily life.

"Follow me!" This is Jesus' command to every Christian. But how does someone follow Jesus today? How does He affect our relationships, our work, our finances? This guide completes the study of Matthew's gospel begun in the previous book in the Walking with God Series (The Incomparable Jesus). You cannot remain the same after you see what Jesus has done for you--and you'll want to follow wherever He leads.

The Leaders Guide covers Teaching Topics:

• Discovering The Church
• Building Your Church
• Impacting Your World

Discovering the Church explores God's plan to plug believers into a nurturing body.

When God saves you, he puts you on his team. This team is more enduring than any human institution--for it will continue to exist in heaven forever. But many Christians are unconnected to the team God has given them as a gift. In some cases their experience has left them bewildered or even hurt. This guide explores the wonder and beauty of God's plan to connect his children in the life-sustaining community called the church. Together with the next book in the Walking With God Series (Building Your Church), you'll see the biblical view of a healthy church--and learn how it can impact you in profound ways.

Building Your Church helps believers find their God-given role in the church.

God wants you to play a vital role in his Kingdom. He's prepared a custom-made position, perfectly suited to your interests and capacities--a position that allows you to be a key contributor. You can discover how God designed you and find great fulfillment serving him according to that design. This guide helps you discover your role in God's plan, building on the foundation laid in the previous book in the Walking with God Series (Discovering the Church). Whether you start with that book or not, these studies will assist you in finding your niche in the church so you can truly make a difference.

Impacting Your World will help you determine the style of evangelism that best fits you and give you practical ways to share your story--and His story--with others..

Do you have difficulty sharing Christ with others? Do you have a hard time telling them how they can come to know God personally? God wants to help you have an impact in their lives. He doesn't require you to resort to gimmicks or expect you to memorize pat answers to tough questions. In this guide you'll discover a variety of styles of evangelism, and you'll be able to determine the style that best fits you. This book completes the Walking With God Series and provides practical helps to share your story--and His story--more effectively with others.
