Provide new Christians with a daily devotional guide for their first week in following Jesus Christ.

I’ve designed the booklet so a church could give it to people making a decision for Christ with encouragement to “start today.” I built in a coaching process so new believers can develop and discuss questions with a more mature believer. Ideally they immediately will move into a connection with an ongoing Bible study group and continue growing as a disciple.

LifeWay has agreed for me to share this freely. The copyright notice grants rights to translate and/or reproduce for non-commercial purposes.

The Daily Devotionals include:

Day 1: Understanding this New Life
Day 2: Spend Time with God Daily
Day 3: Learn about God, His Will & Ways
Day 4: Live in Victory
Day 5: Connect with the Body
Day 6: Tell Your Story
Day 7: Plan and Take Next Steps

Abide in Christ 6: Love from Claude V King on Vimeo.

Abiding in Christ’s love allows you to be a channel through which His love flows to impact others. According to Oscar Thompson: "Love is meeting needs." God gives us the body of Christ to practice our deep sacrificial love. Then God asks us to love a lost world like that. This video clip is intended to be supplementary to a study of "Growing Disciples: Abide in Christ" by Andrew Murray and Bo Stevens.

Abide in Christ 5: Time from Claude V King on Vimeo.

God works in your life to cultivate an intimate and personal love relationship with you as you spend time with God in His Word and through prayer.

Abide in Christ 4: Fruit from Claude V King on Vimeo.

As you abide in Christ, He works to produce fruit, more fruit, much fruit, and even much lasting fruit for the Father’s glory. This fruit includes the fruit His Holy Spirit manifests in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But He also works through your testimony to produce gospel fruit as people are drawn to Christ through the work of the heavenly Father.

Abide in Christ 3: Transformation from Claude V King on Vimeo.

As you abide in Christ, God will undertake your transformation into Christlikeness–the goal of discipleship.

This video clip is intended to be supplementary to a study of "Growing Disciples: Abide in Christ" by Andrew Murray and Bo Stevens.

Abide in Christ 1: Relationship from Claude V King on Vimeo.

Abide in Christ is the first and most important discipline in The Disciple’s Cross. Your relationship with Christ is described by Him in His Parable of the True Vine in John 15. Without this saving relationship with Jesus Christ none of the other disciplines have any eternal value for your life. This video clip is intended to be supplementary to a study of "Growing Disciples: Abide in Christ" by Andrew Murray and Bo Stevens.
