Discipleship is what we call learning to follow Jesus in our daily lives. Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour is the first step, discipleship is the continuing journey of walking with Him daily and learning as we go. It is becoming more like Him in the way we live.
We have two free downloads to give away.
Both are completely free and do not require an email address to download. Just click on the links above to get them in PDF form. They are our blessing to you.
What historical event fascinates you the most?
The Resurrection of Jesus is the event that most fascinates me. It fascinated me so much that it changed my life back in 1989.
Up until that point I had a basic understanding that Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday and then He rose to life on Easter Sunday.
But in all honesty I did not know why He died? When a friend gave me a tract that explained Jesus died on the cross for my sin, it started to make sense.
I realised I was a sinner and I needed God’s forgiveness and Jesus’ death on the cross made that possible. I could be forgiven because He paid the price for my sin.
The resurrection showed that Jesus had the power over death and that God was satisfied with His sacrifice for us. It also showed that we will be resurrected one day too.
This truth changed my life and gave me a new purpose – to live for Him. In a sense I was dead in my sins and then I was raised to a new life with Jesus.
I believe the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus are the most significant events in human history. I believe that if you want true life now it all begins with Jesus.
Today I would encourage you to visit my peace with God page so you can begin afresh with Jesus. You can find it here.
God Bless,
Dave
Here is a free download from my main website. This booklet contains a collection of short reflections from the book of James in the New Testament. The reflections have grown out my morning devotions and meditations on Scripture. There are 14 in total.
One of the things I wanted to do when we started PASSION Australia back in 1998 was to have a website. It was very strongly on my heart.
Back in 1998 you had to write lines of code in html to build a website. So I stayed up late every night after my family had gone to bed to learn how to do it. Some nights I would get to bed at 200am.
Eventually it all started to make sense. I had a website online and people started to come. I remember getting 50 people visit in a month and being very excited. Then 100, then 1000 and so on.
Now 27 years later we have had tens of millions of visitors from right around the world. So far this year we have had visitors from 77 different countries visit us on both PASSIONAustralia.blog and PASSIONAustralia.org. It is truly amazing to see the reach.
Our free discipleship booklet has been downloaded over 100,000 times. Our sermons get listens in the 1000s each week. And our salvation pages have been visited in the hundreds of thousands of times.
My prayer for the websites is that God will bring the people who need to hear about Jesus and His great love for them to us. We just want to connect people to Jesus and then help them grow in their faith. That is our heart.
One other thing we have always tried to do is make everything available for free. I do not want money to be an issue for someone finding Jesus and being encouraged in their faith. Finding Jesus is just too important.
If you are reading this today, no matter where you are in the world, I want to say thank you. Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you were blessed and encouraged during your time with us. We really appreciate you!
Our prayer for you
Loving heavenly Father, I pray right now You would touch the person reading this. Touch their heart with Your love, let them know how truly deeply you love them. Touch their mind to help them understand all that You have done for them in Jesus and what You will do in the future. If they need healing, place Your healing hand on them now. If they need protection, place a hedge of Your holy angels around them. If they are alone, let them know Your peace and presence right now. If they need provision, please open the floodgates of heaven and pour out from Your storehouse. But most of all Lord, fill them with the love of Jesus so full that it overflows continously. I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
