If you are a new believer or would simply like solid applications to your life from the Bible, BUILD-UP is just the thing for you. BUILD-UP is an intentional time of Bible study and fellowship which guides adult believers in their faith in Christ. Here we explain important truths regarding the big picture of the Bible and how it has something to say for every area of our lives. We meet during the same times as our AWANA kids club and our teen Revival so it is an excellent place to be even while your kids are learning. BUILD-UP is open to all so consider yourself invited to join the group every Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Believe the Gospel
Understanding Salvation
What happens when a person receives Jesus Christ as his or her Savior? What do words related to salvation such as justification and regeneration mean? Is salvation really forever? This greater understanding of your salvation will cause you to appreciate it and to share the good news with others.
Understand Biblical Ethics
Thinking Biblically
Life inevitably brings moral quandaries and ethical decisions. What’s a believer to do? Thinking Biblically considers six Biblical subjects that shape the way believers think and, ultimately, the way they act.
Internalize Godliness
Living for God
From choosing to follow Christ as Lord to learning to thank the Lord for all that He allows to happen in one’s life, the student who completes these Bible studies will learn the basics of living a life that honors the Lord and glorifies Him.
Learn Doctrine
Trusting the Bible
Do you know the meaning of revelation, inspiration, and illumination? Do you know why our Bibles have sixty-six books? Can you trace the major events that led to the translation of the Bible into English? Could you explain to someone the message of the Bible? These studies will help answer those questions and lead you to a greater appreciation for God’s Word.
Develop Life Skills
Managing Life
The first step in managing one’s life is to recognize that God owns everything. You are a steward, a caretaker, of the resources God has given you. As a good steward, you will want to use your time and your money according to Biblical principles. God rewards His faithful stewards with spiritual blessings now and with an incorruptible inheritance in Heaven.
Uplift Others
Helping Others
What do Abraham, Solomon, Peter, Paul, James, and our Lord Himself have in common? Each one teaches us valuable lessons about relating to other people. God fully intended that believers should care for each other, and the studies in this book will give you practical, Biblical truth to put into practice.
Prepare to Serve
Serving God
A growing believer is a serving believer. In these six studies you will discover the place you serve, the persons you serve, the purpose of service, the power for service, the performance of service, and the preparation for service.
