Growth Essentials
We at Orchard Road Christian Center are so happy for your decision to follow God and make Him number one in your life. These Bible lessons have been setup by Dean Niforatos and approved by ORCC so that you can learn more about the basic foundations of a solid, fruitful and exciting walk with Jesus.
Important note: find a Bible that fits you. The first study will teach you a lot about the Bible, but we encourage you to go to a Christian bookstore and check out the various Bibles they offer. Choose one that is readable and easy to understand. Do this before you start!
For those of you who are new to the Bible, let us also say that we use the following notations: the name of the book of the Bible, followed by a number representing the chapter followed by a colon and another number which represents the verse or verses in that chapter. For example, John 3:16 means the book of John, chapter 3, verse 16. Matthew 5 & 6 would direct you to the book of Matthew, chapters 5 & 6 in their entirety. Your Bible also has a table of contents that will be of great help.
Get the most that you can out of the next eight weeks! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
