INTRODUCTION

47”Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

LUKE 6:47-49

Foundations matter.

A structure is only as good as its foundation, and much time and resources are spent to build a strong foundation. As followers of Jesus, our foundation should be Jesus—our Rock. If we build on Him, the storms and earthquakes of life will not bring us down.

This class is one way to establish biblical foundations. Time, study, and devotion to God’s Word are needed. Since the responsibility to develop strong and deep foundations lies with us—not a pastor or Victory group leader—we need to develop spiritual disciplines in our lives. These include devotion to the Word, prayer, fasting, and a lifestyle of faith, spiritual growth, and generosity.

The Purple Book Study Guide is an accompaniment to The Purple Book, which the participants should work on before this class.

SIN AND SALVATIONFor the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ROMANS 6:23

The primary story of the Bible is how God saved man from sin. Because we are sinners, we can’t save ourselves. But because God is loving, He made a way to save us through Jesus Christ.

THE ORIGINAL STORYIn the beginning, God created us to have a personal

(1) with Him, but man chose to rebel against God.

7Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. 8And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

GRACE THROUGH FAITHWe are saved by grace through faith in Christ’s

(5), not by our good works.

8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

LORDSHIP AND OBEDIENCE“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?”

LUKE 6:46

Lord means Master, Sovereign, Ruler, and God. Because Jesus is Lord, He calls the shots, He is the boss, and He is to be followed completely. Every area of our lives should be submitted to Him.

JESUS IS LORDJesus is (1) of all.

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

REPENTANCE AND BAPTISMAnd Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

ACTS 2:38

Our response to Jesus’ sacrifice should involve repentance and baptism. Repentance is being truly sorry for our sins and desperate to restore our relationship with our heavenly Father. Baptism is a public declaration of this repentance and putting our faith in Christ alone.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?Repentance is a (1) of mind that results in a change of direction.

DISCIPLESHIP AND LEADERSHIP18And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . . .”

MATTHEW 28:18,19

Jesus calls us to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” This charge propelled the early followers of Christ into a strategic mission that turned the world upside down—not just by preaching the gospel, but by training new believers as well. To be a Christian is to be a disciple—a lifelong learner and follower of Jesus.

The church is God’s instrument for advancing His kingdom. He has no “plan B.” The church is the only legitimate setting for living the Christian faith. No long-term “lone ranger” can be a true disciple of Christ. All who truly desire to follow Christ must find their place in a church family.
