NOTES:
It’s important to make a 16-Lesson commitment – There will always be unexpected illnesses and/or circumstances, but, if possible, please make a 16-Lesson commitment - just between you and the Lord.

3.) We use this portion of the apostle Paul’s 1st letter to the believers in the city of Thessalonica as a model for “Spiritual Parenting” (a.k.a. “Personal Discipleship”).
THEY WERE SINGLE-MINDED IN PURPOSE :3-6 … we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts. For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed — God is witness — nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.
(1 Thessalonians 2:3-13)

1. THEY CARED FOR THE BELIEVERS AS A MOTHER CARES FOR HER CHILDREN (:7-8)
(1 Thessalonians 2:3-13)
2. THEY BECAME “ROLE MODELS” TO THE NEW BELIEVERS (:9-10)
3. THEY GAVE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION AND INSTRUCTION AS A FATHER (:11-12)
4. THE WORD OF GOD WAS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF DISCIPLESHIP (:13 )

Important: Carefully read the weekly assignment before each session, and write down questions.
Important: Most believers would greatly benefit from having a personal mentor during this Phase, in addition to the class.
