The Self-Confrontation manual is just what the subtitle says: “A Manual for In-Depth Biblical Discipleship.” It covers a lot of territory: 105 biblical principles for living. One way to start down this path is a personal or small group study we call “Living Victoriously in the Battles of Life.” It is basically a simplified version of Self-Confrontation lessons 1-8 that builds a biblical foundation for dealing with the daily trials of life based on God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. The six lessons (studied over 7-weeks or at-your-own-pace) are:
Living Victoriously is a practical look at everyday problems and teaches the basics of:
• The hope we can have as we go through difficult times
• How and why God allows trials in our life
• Practical biblical principles for change
• How to practice those principles in our daily walk with Christ
A 6-lesson study in a workbook format, Living Victoriously is useful for personal devotions, basic discipleship, or small group bible studies.
The Living Victoriously booklet is a 7-week study from BCF. Based completely on Scriptures, it is a practical look at everyday problems – their purpose in our lives, how we can overcome them and walk daily in victory in the midst of trials in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Living Victoriously is in a workbook format, and focuses on practical application in your daily life, providing passages for you to look up, and spaces for you to answer questions.
It can be used as a personal devotional, as a one-on-one study, or in a small-group setting.
Jesus did not tell His disciples that their problems would go away if they followed Him. In fact, He prepared them for battle, telling them what they would face, and taught them how to walk through those trials in victory, being Himself the ultimate demonstration of victorious living. Jesus also taught the disciples these things so that they could, in turn, teach others.
This short course is about Christians living victoriously in the daily battles and struggles of life. It is also about how to come alongside and help others through those challenging times.
This course will cover the following topics:
• Understanding tests, temptations, and problems biblically
• The biblical view of “self”
• Biblical hope
• Biblical change: dealing with problems God’s way
• Biblical practice: our daily walk with Christ
• Biblical discipleship: coming alongside others
Believers need to see how to have victory in the midst of problems with relationships, temptations to fear and worry, depression, life-dominating habit patterns and so on.
Living victoriously in the midst of life’s challenges is only possible with the resources that the Lord has provided to us as believers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit. This course will help you learn what those resources are, and provides the basic biblical principles for victory, and then how to apply them in overcoming the daily problems of life.
Finally, this training will help you know how to encourage others to do the same.
The subtitle of the Living Victoriously booklet is “the basics of biblical discipleship.” It can be a wonderful study for new believers or for learning the basics of how to deal with problems and relationships God’s way. The booklet can be used in a study-on-your-own format, one-on-one discipleship, or even family devotions. The 6 lessons are listed in the Overview. Each lesson has scripture references to look up, fill-in-the-blank questions to answer, focusing on what the scripture references say, and thought-provoking application questions. It is also a great introduction to the more in-depth teaching in the Self-Confrontation manual.
Living Victoriously also works well in small groups, for both home Bible studies and Sunday School classes. Everyone can participate by reading sections of the booklet, looking up the scriptures, and answering the questions, all focused on becoming more conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29) and being enabled to live victoriously even when times are difficult. A Leader’s Guide is available for leaders of small groups, for any who may want assistance. The Leader’s Guide comes with a series of short videos summarizing each lesson. A downloadable sample lesson is available here on the Leader’s Guide page.
Periodically we receive materials that are not up to our normal high standards. Although the books are still useable, they have blemishes such as creases on certain pages, slightly shaded pages in certain small sections, or nicks or light fraying on the cover. In all cases, the blemish is hardly noticeable.
