  3. Introduction We have spent 4 sessions on the new disciple. This is the key cornerstone of church growth but our weakest link. Need to rally the whole church behind training a new disciple: A. Members take personal interest with new disciples B. Care teams looking out for new disciples to invite C. Leadership to conduct classes and find opportunities for new disciples to serve.

We are redeemed - 1 Peter 1:18-19 5. We have a home in heaven - John 14:3 6. We are a new creature! - 2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

God now helps, protects and enables me- 1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 2. We can rely upon Him for all good - Romans 8:28 3. Even when I forget His love and fall way, I can return to Him - 1 John 1:9 1. The Ramifications 2. The Daily Duties

  7. 4. The Spiritual Warfare 1. We are already conquerors - Romans 8:37 2. Satan has already been defeated by Christ’s death on the cross - Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 3. The power of Christ within the believer is greater - 1 John 4:4 4. Satan is allowed to attack believers - James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations 5.
