EXPLORE COURSE OUTLINE

Course Outline Part A

Each topic will be covered one weekend per month.

EXPLORE A1 – The Abundant Christian Life

We are born with questions about life etched in our hearts and this course seeks to answer these questions from a biblical perspective. We will look at how mankind got into such a mess and God’s amazing rescue plan – how God not only wants to save us but also wants to heal us and set us on the right course for our lives.

EXPLORE A2 – Deeper Intimacy with God

This course is all about helping us come to know more of God and connect to Him in a deeper way. It will look at His character and nature and explore how we can have an intimate relationship with Him and seek to deal with the blockages that get in the way of knowing Him the way He really is.

EXPLORE A3 – The Power of Forgiveness

The Kingdom principle of forgiveness is one that has a profound impact on our lives. As we both receive God’s forgiveness for our own sinful actions and also extend forgiveness to those who have hurt us, we begin to experience God’s transformation and healing. This course will explore the truth, challenges, and steps to freedom through forgiveness.

EXPLORE A4 – Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal

Even though the Bible tells us that God loves all He has created and that when we accept Jesus as our Saviour we are fully part of God’s family again, we can still find it so hard to believe. This course will explore how rejection came into the world, how it can impact our lives, and how to move on from rejection to acceptance.

EXPLORE A5 – Exposing the Snares of the Enemy 1

In this course, we will explore what the Bible says about Satan and the demonic, spiritual warfare and how the enemy can gain a stronghold in a person’s life. Jesus came to set the captives free and this course teaches how to step into spiritual freedom through deliverance in Jesus’ name.

EXPLORE A6 – Healing from Inner Hurt and Pain

In this course, we will investigate how God made each person and how the various parts of our being, work together to develop the whole personhood. This course will explain both how to untangle some of the causes and effects of inner damage and how to apply God’s truth and restorative power to the lives of those who need inner healing.

EXPLORE A8 – Navigating Difficult Relationships

When God made us in His image, He made us relational human beings, created to live in dynamic relationships with both Himself as well as one another. This course will help you in finding God’s way forward for your relationships and in receiving healing from wounds inflicted through relationships in the past that were not as God intended.

EXPLORE A9 – Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

For many of us, fear and anxiety are regular companions along our life journey.
