Our Maturity in Christ Course is now available!


Early this summer, the Oikeos Christian Network released the filmed course of “Our Maturity in Christ.” This seven-module course examines valuable truths regarding how to live as God intended after becoming a Christian.



Excerpt from Module 5The Walk is a Lifestyle:


“There is something about walking in God’s spiritual light that actually makes our job easier; it makes navigating challenges easier. Whether you are dealing with a person or an institution that seems insurmountable, walking in light helps you navigate challenges because you can actually see clearly what’s going on (sometimes behind the scenes). Clarity and freedom of thought is what spiritual light produces. So often in this world we want to rush everything, but sometimes the timing isn’t quite right. We need God’s precise wisdom to know the ‘what’ and ‘when’ and ‘how’ of a situation so we can move ahead.


“Typically, people are incarcerated by their schedules; it’s what runs their lives. Calendars and schedules are tools to assist us, not run our lives. If we let it, the world will fill our schedules so quickly that we crowd out the things of God. Then there will be days filled with annoyances and hardships and labor that produce no good fruit. How do we get around this? God can show us the right thing to do at the right time. God can guide us so that our lives are fruitful and abundant.”

 

Courses like this are essential to a solid foundation of biblical understanding for practical living. Nothing is more practical than knowing precisely what God is holding out to you for your benefit on a regular basis—but He goes further! God makes known to us exactly what we need to know during key moments of decision making. That spiritual knowledge and wisdom gives guidance to achieve goals and endure hardships. It allows you the satisfaction of knowing where you came from, where you stand and where you are going together with God.
