Count It All Joy
Learn to trust God and persevere through trials.
Our foundation
We become rooted in Him.
These studies are an invitation to know Jesus, not simply to collect information about Him. We come to Scripture prayerfully, asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand and obey what God says.
Jesus tells His disciples, “without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Every step of growth begins and continues in relationship with Him.
The study path
One step at a time
Follow this sequence as a guide. Open the Bible, read each passage in context, pray, and make room to practice what you learn.
Identity in Christ
Learn who you are because of what Jesus has done.
Renewing the Mind
Bring your thoughts and choices under God’s Word.
Speaking God’s Word
Let the word of Christ dwell richly in you.
Walking It Out
Respond to what you hear with a life of obedience.
Begin with Jesus
The invitation comes first.
Following Jesus begins with the gospel: we have sinned, and Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Salvation is His gift, not something we earn through study or effort. Read Romans 3:23–24, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, and Ephesians 2:8–10.
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
ROMANS 10:9 · NKJV
You can speak honestly to God: confess your sin, ask for His mercy, and place your trust in Jesus. Then keep drawing near to Him through prayer, Scripture, and fellowship with other believers.
Become a disciple
Follow Jesus, one step at a time.
You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to Christ. Discipleship begins with trusting Him and continues as you learn to live in His Word.
Receive the gospel
Jesus died for our sins and rose again. Read 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 and Ephesians 2:8–9.
Turn to Jesus
Repent and believe the gospel (Mark 1:15). Speak honestly to Him and place your trust in Him. A prayer can express faith; the words themselves do not save.
Walk with Him
Read Scripture, pray, gather with believers, and learn obedience through the Holy Spirit. Ask about baptism and community (Acts 2:38–42).
Grow together
Join a discipleship group.
Bring your Bible and your questions. We study Scripture, pray together, encourage one another, and learn to follow Jesus in everyday life. Send your name and the best way to reach you, and we will reply with current group details.
