DC 403 - Week 4

Having looked at the millennium, we now turn our eschatalogical attention to hell. Next week, we'll wrap-up this 3 week series by covering heaven, but this week's workload might look something like this:

Monday - Read Zephaniah and Zechariah and comment
Tuesday - Read Psalms 120-123 and Norman Geisler's article, "Everything You Wanted to Know about Hell, but Were Afraid to Ask," and comment
Wednesday - Memorize Matthew 10:28 - "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell" - and review previous memory verses, such as Genesis 3:6, 1 John 5:13, and Acts 1:8
Thursday - Answer questions 1a-b, 2a-c, and 3a-b (7 questions) and review memory verses
Friday - Answer questions 4, 5a-c, 6, and 7 (6 questions), including reading chapter 18 from Boyd and Eddy's Across the Spectrum, and review memory verses

DC 403 - Week 3

Having wrapped up our 2 weeks on denominations, we now turn to a 3 week look at eschatology. The first of these sessions focuses on the millennium. Here's how the workload might break down:

Monday - Read Daniel 7-12, Malachi, and Psalms 116-117, and comment
Tuesday - Read "Living in the Light of Jesus' Return," the article by Sherri Langton, and answer questions 1a-c (3 questions)
Wednesday - Memorize Philippians 1:20-24 - "I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed but will have sufficient courage, so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet, what shall I choose? I do not know. I am torn between the two! I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far, but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body." Review previous memory verses, such as Philippians 2:1-3, Hebrews 12:1-2, and 2 Peter 3:18. If you're enjoying the Scripture memorization, try to add v25-26 to the Philippians 1 passage: "Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me."
Thursday - Answer questions 2, 3a-d, and 4a-b (7 questions), and review memory verses
Friday - Answer questions 5a-d, 6, 7a-b, and 8 (8 questions), which includes reading chapter 17 and appendices 10-12 of Boyd and Eddy's Across the Spectrum, and review memory verses

DC 403 - Week 2

This is the second week on denominations, and again, the workload is light apart from your report and presentation. Here is how it might break down:

Monday - Read 2 Chronicles 20-36 and Psalms 109-115 and comment.
Tuesday - Memorize Philippians 2:1-2 - If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Holy Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
Wednesday - Review memory verses, such as Ephesians 4:3, Philippians 2:3, and 1 Timothy 4:16. Consider putting the memory verses together, such as Philippians 2:1-3 and Ephesians 4:1-3.
Thursday - Read appendix 10 of Boyd and Eddy's Across the Spectrum and comment
Friday - Work on denomination report and presentation, and review memory verses

A tip for this tougher memory passage (Philippians 2:1-2) might be to recall that there are 4 "if" statements leading to the main idea - "make my joy complete" - and that's followed by 3 ways to accomplish it...

DC 403 - Week 1

We have just 10 weeks remaining in the Discipleship Curriculum. The first 2 of these weeks are a brief look at Christian denominations. The workload is light over these 2 weeks, since each person will do a report and presentation on the denomination of their choice. Here's how the workload for this week might break down:

Monday - Read 2 Chronicles 1-19 and comment
Tuesday - Read Psalms 107-108 and comment
Wednesday - Memorize Ephesians 4:3 - Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace - and review previous verses, such as
Thursday - Work on report (choose a denomination from this chart) and review memory verses
Friday - Work on report and review memory verses, and try adding this week's memory verse (Ephesians 4:3) to your previous verse (Ephesians 4:2) - maybe even add v1, so it would read like this: "As a prisoner of the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
