Fullness of Life in Christ

Fullness of Life in Christ

(New Format in June 2008 - with Updates on 1st of each month)

Distance Education Studies

Written by Ken Walker

June 2008 News – New Study materials are now available. Although the original Distance Education Study Course has been closed from January 2006, and no enrolments have been accepted, a new form of study is now available.   The new form will be available in the form of PDF files, each study being about 6-10 pages.  As they become available, each unit will also be presented in audio format (MP3)  So users will be able to have the written format available as they listen. All of the original written materials are still on my web sites for easy reading – at Fullness of Life in Christ (new) and Fullness of Life in Christ (original)  and Global Good News

The new study units provides the materials set out in a different teaching format, whereby the reader may simply go through the study in the presented sequence.  I have been able to write material in this new format out of an increased depth of knowledge of my own ( in reliance on the Lord),   Each new unit of study is set out as I would use them if we were sitting down together to study with you one to one. However, the Holy Spirit is your teacher – I am just one who provides resource materials in teaching format. 

During the last few months I have been able to prepare a few study units.  Others units will be added to this list as they are written, hopefully at the rate of one every month, but that depends on the Lord’s guidance over time.  

May God bless you

Welcome     Meet the author, his websites and personal comments on these new studies in Fullness of life in Christ   PDF Link     MP3 Audio Link

Unit 1           The Mystery of the New Testament.      This mystery (based on the crucifixion and resurrection) I believe is the starting point for living as God intended and as Paul taught.  Paul mentions it directly 14 times and it appears many other times indirectly.  Paul notes that this mystery was hidden from all, prophets included, until revealed to the Apostle Paul somewhere between A.D. 38 and A.D. 45.    Paul’s writings reveal that not only was this mystery kept hidden by God until that time, but the mystery was said to contain wisdom, have fellowship, be the mystery of the gospel, of Christ, of God and of His will, but also be the mystery among the gentiles.  PDF Link   MP3 Audio-Part 1  MP3 Audio-part 2 

Unit 2           Invitation to Live.      During His prayer in John 17,Jesus tells the disciples how spiritual relationships are between He and the Father and how these will extend to include believers for all time, thus providing an invitation to live that way – in faith and by the Spirit of God.   The study also clearly shows how Paul was instructed by God to make this invitation available to all people with whom he spoke and outlines some of the difficulties that disciples of all periods will experience.   PDF Link     MP3 Audio Link  Part 1  MP3 Audio Link  Part 2       

Unit 3           How then shall we live?     There seems to be a dilemma among some Christians about what is important in living the Christian life and how it might be achieved. The study highlights the importance of knowing God by His Spirit as distinct from knowing about God – the difference perhaps best expressed in terms of the difference between knowledge received by revelation and that received and known intellectually.   The question of how we should mature to live the Christian life is examined and how many forms of stumbling blocks will be met and overcome.   PDF Link     MP3 Audio Link Part 1     MP3 Audio Link Part 2

Unit 4           Until Christ is formed in you.     Just as God told His people in the time of Hosea that His people perish through lack of knowledge, so to do Christians of this age lack knowledge, which limits personal growth of disciples and of the church and the great commission.   This study focuses around Galations 4:19, where Paul teaches that growth in the Christian life is by the process (after regeneration) of the life of Jesus Christ being formed in the believer by prayer.  The need for knowledge of both forms is emphasized.  PDF Link  MP3 Audio Link Part 1    MP3 Audio Link Part 2

Unit 5           What is the Nature of Man?  The nature of man is one of the most fundamental of all Bible Studies, or should be.  The word "nature" has to be very clearly understood, otherwise wrong conclusions can be drawn about how man interacts with God both prior to and after regeneration.  Understanding the nature of man who is born again, opens the way for a fuller understanding of how fullness of life in Christ may be attained.    PDF Link   MP3 Audio Link Part 1    MP3 Audio Link Part 2
