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.

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."
