Are you new to the Christian faith, or do you oversee a group of new believers? Then "First Steps" is the book that you need to grow and become strong in your relationship with your Heavenly Father through the work of Yeshua...Jesus the Messiah. INTRODUCTION First Steps is a basic discipleship course aimed at helping new Christian believers grow in their understanding and application of spiritual truths. The course is also for those who have questions concerning God and His Word who may not yet have made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ. (Yeshua Messiah). I was prompted by the Lord to write the course in order to set out some Biblical truths for new believers; First Steps is suitable for use in small discipleship groups or can be used for individuals. It was born out of an earnest desire to see new Christians established on a firm foundation in both knowledge of Scripture and obedience to God's eternal Word. It reflects a growing understanding in my personal walk with God, and in many other Christians today, of the Jewish roots of our faith. In the light of this revelation there is a vital need to read and apply God's Word. My prayer is that the Lord will use this simple resource to bless, enlighten and facilitate spiritual growth in all who take the time to study and walk out the Scriptural truths contained within it. Note: Throughout the course we will refer to Yeshua (Hebrew for Jesus, thus His true name) and often use the term Messiah rather than Christ, the latter being from the Greek translation of 'Messiah' - 'Christos', meaning 'Anointed One'. A Personal Background to the Course My name is Margaret Buckley. My earlier years were spent in both Assemblies of God Pentecostal churches and in a House Fellowship. My grandfather Charles Buckley was a pioneer Pastor within the Assemblies of God group of churches, hosting men like Smith Wigglesworth in his home. Though I never met him I grew up hearing many wonderful accounts from my parents of God's power at work to heal and deliver from sin. This, together with my parents' Godly example during my formative years, planted in me a deep respect for God's Word and a recognition of His power to heal and deliver through the ministries of true men and women of God. I have been discipling new believers for many years, leading Alpha courses and small Bible Study groups, also discipling individuals. I have had the privilege of witnessing many wonderful, life-changing responses to God's Word. Around the year 2000 I began to understand the heart of God for Israel, His people and Land, as He gave me revelation of their great significance in His plan and of my responsibility to pray for Israel. Soon after this the Lord brought me into contact with Mike and Shirley Fryer and it was my privilege to join with them in their small Fellowship in Mold, North Wales. I became actively involved in the developing ministry of this Fellowship which later became Father's House Sabbath Congregation, and have been an active leader since. As we learned more about the Feasts of the Lord, including Sabbath, I realised that I had been interpreting much of the Bible according to man's tradition and teaching. I had a deep awareness that He had directly guided me to this place of new understanding of Torah -often translated 'Law' in our Bibles but the real meaning being instructions or teaching. Since then, I have walked this path with great gratitude to the Lord and a sense of deep security as we align ourselves with His calendar in observing joyfully the Appointed Times of the Lord which we read of in Leviticus chapter 23.
