You may put as little or as much into this study as you wish. Some of you will study fervently every day. Some of you will procrastinate until the day before or do nothing but attend the classes. It is up to you to decide what is right for you. However, I promise you, you will get out of this study what you put into it and, I hope, much more.
This is, perhaps, a little different than anything you have seen before. Good. First, you have to believe that transformation through God's Grace is real.
God is Real!
Jesus is Real!
The Holy Spirit is Real!
Transformation of a Christian is Real!

RELATE
Relational groups are made up of people who share life together. They know each others’ names, discuss the deeper things of life, and pray for each other. In these types of relationships, honesty, openness, and transparency can grow. Transformation happens when we relate to one another around the truths of God’s Word.
ENGAGE
When people are becoming like Christ, they don’t just hear a lesson—they experience one. When we engage in Bible study using our senses, the truth of that Bible study lesson will stay with us. Sounds, tastes, images, smells—the vividness of life is part of the biblical record.
ACT
Transformation happens when we move from understanding what the Bible means to realizing what it means for us. When we discover how a biblical truth can be applied to a specific situation, we are one step closer to acting on God’s Word and allowing it to have its full effect on us. When we are able to speak the truth in love to one another, the Word of God is working in us.

Success is not found in how much content a lesson conveys. Success is a group of learners embracing God’s Word for themselves
