1 INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP PRE ENCOUNTER Lesson Plan Class: 01 I. A MESSAGE TO THE INSTRUCTOR Consolidation is the phase following a person s receiving of Christ as their personal Savior. During this phase, the new believer must receive constant care and attention until the character of Christ is formed in them. The Pre Encounter Course plays a vital role in the Consolidation process, and as the instructor, you ve been entrusted with this responsibility. Never forget that your role is not to lecture these students with facts and information but to impart life.

2 Keep in mind that an instructor that doesn t have life cannot give life. You must live at the level of your message! The purpose of Pre Encounter is to lead the new believer through the basic steps of the Christian faith. After completing this course, each student should: 1. Possess an assurance of their salvation 2. Understand the benefits of their salvation as provided through the Cross 3. Experience God s power in delivering them from their past 4.

INTRODUCTION [NOTE: The purpose of an introduction is to put everyone at ease and to build rapport with your class. some of your students, this is the first bible class they ve attended, and their first opportunity to meet someone else who attends Word of Life.] A. Introduce Yourself 1.

5 Name, occupation, how long you ve been a part of Word of Life, 2. Introduce your class assistant. 3. Share a brief testimony of how you were born again. Keep this testimony focused on why you needed Christ and the impact He has made in your life. [Note: Although this is a great opportunity to capture the hearts of your students, keep this testimony clear and brief. This is NOT the time to recite your entire spiritual history; doing so will both waste your class time and confuse the student.] B. Student Icebreaker 1.

6 Break your class into pairs (groups of 2). 2. Have each student briefly share something interesting about themselves and why they decided to attend this class. [Note: This is a great opportunity for the students to get to know one another. Feel free to substitute this icebreaker for one of your own.] IV. Lesson : THE FOUR (4) BENEFITS OF BEING BORN AGAIN A. Opening Illustration A man booked a passage on a ship with just enough money to buy a ticket, a wedge of cheese and some biscuits for the long voyage. The first few days at sea the biscuits and cheese tasted good, but eventually they became stale.

7 Each day as he watched the porters carry large steaks, lobsters, chicken and many other delicious foods to the other passengers, he became very hungry. In fact, he became so hungry that he finally stopped one of the porters and said, I ll do anything to get one of those steaks! I ll wash dishes, clean rooms, even mop the deck. The porter replied, Didn t you know that your meals were included with the price of your ticket? Pre Pre Encounter Page 3 of 5 Class: 01 1.

8 This man didn t understand the benefits included in the price of his ticket! He spent most of his voyage hungry and miserable until he realized what rightfully belonged to him. John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 2. We received an abundant life when we were born again. Unfortunately, many Christians are like the starving man on the ship. They have the God-given right to experience an abundant life but they ve settled for miserable living.

9 3. Why? Simply because they don t know about the benefits of being born again. In today s Lesson we re going to look at four (4) of the most important benefits God gave to all of us when we were born again. B. Benefit of Forgiveness! 1. Illustration There's a Spanish story of a father and son who had become estranged. The son ran away, and the father set off to find him. He searched for months to no avail. Finally, in a last desperate effort to find him, the father put an ad in a Madrid newspaper. The ad read: Dear Paco, meet me in front of this newspaper office at noon on Saturday.

10 All is forgiven. I love you. Your Father. On Saturday 800 Pacos showed up, looking for forgiveness and love from their fathers. 2. True or not, this story illustrates an important all have a deep need for forgiveness. Why? Because we ve all God and others. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. 3. But God s love is amazing! Instead of turning His back on us He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to make forgiveness possible. Colossians 1:13-14 (NKJV) 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
