Lesson One: The Bible—God’s Word

In the Beginning was The Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… John 1:1

For most people, this is just a memory verse and a nice religious phrase. Is it for you?

As a Lead Warrior and a future leader (yes, you read that correctly, a future leader). You’ve been given Authority as a born again Believer, and Authority requires responsibility. Responsibility requires self-discipline and having discipline in today’s society makes you stand out to people who don’t know what to do. And that is one of the things that makes you a leader.

As a Lead Warrior and future leader, you have to know that the Bible is not just a book of poetry and cute high-sounding religious phrases, but that it is exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ said it is.

Rather than have us tell you all the answers, it is vitally important that as a Christian and as a future leader in the Body of Christ, that you see them and know them for yourself. So, let’s go through the Word and see what the Word says of itself and how much you already know or find out what you need to study more about, shall we?
