FG Daily Disciple Guide “Explore the Bible”
This semester we are using for our curriculum “Explore the Bible Daily Disciple Guide” by Lifeway. This guide helps participants in the family groups to grow in their love for Scripture personally, gain new knowledge about what the Bible teaches, develop biblical disciplines, and internalize the Word in a way that impacts daily life. The guide also contains five, daily, directed devotionals that help reinforce the main points of the Bible passage during the following week. An electronic version is also available at www.lifeway.com. Leader Helps are in the back of each guide for those desiring further study.
The “HPBC Journal” will supplement and align with materials in the curriculum.

God’s Plan of Salvation
Your heart tends to run from God and rebel against Him. The Bible calls this “sin.” (Romans 3:23)
Yet God loves you and wants to save you from your sin, offering you a relationship with Him. (John 10:10)
To give you this gift of salvation, God sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for your sins. (Romans 5:8)
You receive this gift by faith alone. (Ephesians 2:8)
Faith involves trusting that God alone can save you and turning away from a life of sin. (Romans 10:9; Mark 1:15)
If you want to trust that Jesus died for your sins and receive new life through Him, pray a prayer similar to this to express your repentance and faith in Him:
“God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. Thank You for forgiving me of all my sin. Thank You for my new life. From this day forward, I will choose to follow You.”
If you have trusted Jesus for salvation, share your decision with a Christian friend or pastor. If you are not already attending church, find one in which you can worship and grow in your faith. Following Christ’s example, ask to be baptized by immersion as a public expression of your faith.
