Why use this Cell Leader’s Guide?

The foundation of a building cannot be seen, but it is extremely important. The stability and life of a building depends on the quality of its foundation.

Christians, like buildings, need a solid foundation for their faith. The Gospels lay the foundation for belief in Christ. The best way to get to know Jesus is to read the Gospels. They give the clearest picture of who Jesus is. People frequently learn something new every time they study the Gospels.

Discovery questions are provided according to the sequence of events in the life of Jesus. Studying Jesus’ life in sequence reduces some of the confusion caused by having four Gospels. This study guide will also help you:

1. Study what Jesus taught in context about subjects such as:

• Scripture and traditions.
• Salvation
• Forgiveness.
• Money.
• The end times.

1. Discover answers to questions such as:

• What do the Gospels actually teach about Jesus?
• What do the Gospels actually teach about Mary?
• What other common teachings are supported (or not supported) by the Gospels?

1. Discover some truths not easily found in other books, such as:

• When was Jesus born?
• Did Jesus hide truths in parables?
• Did Jesus provide a pattern for multiplying disciples? If so, what truths did He hide? Why?
• Did Jesus provide a pattern for multiplying disciples? If so, what is that pattern?

This cell leader’s guide was designed to help you and your group grow in your understanding of Jesus and His story. Thirty-one texts were chosen for study, mostly from Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The discovery questions were designed to guide cells, house churches, small groups and individuals to discover and apply Bible truths to their lives.

The Tagalog version of this cell leader’s guide is The Cell Leader’s Discovery Guide Series: Gabay sa Pagtuklas ng Buhay ni Jesus. Leader’s guides are also available from the same author for Genesis, Exodus, The Gospel of John, Galatians and Ephesians.
