Beginning in Jesus Participant’s Guide

The Experiencing Christ Together Student Edition curriculum contains everything you need to facilitate small groups that want to learn more about Jesus, whether it's a complete lesson or just some prompts to move your group along. This series gives you the chance to introduce your students to the godly, human, shocking, saving person of Jesus. Each book includes all the Scripture for a given lesson, the student-friendly commentary, and individual questions and experiences to deepen and strengthen a small group.

This first book in the series, Beginning in Jesus, brings your group face to face with different character qualities of Jesus. Students will understand the many aspects of Jesus' character:

* Teacher: How and why is Jesus' teaching so different? * Healer: Why does Jesus restore people? * Shepherd: How is Jesus leading and caring for his people? * Servant: Why is servanthood so important to Jesus? * Savior: What does it mean that Jesus is a savior? * Risen Lord: Why is it so important that Jesus really is the son of God?

Beginning in Jesus lets students love more deeply, live more honestly, and develop their character in Christ as they help each other answer His call everyday.
