Companion Study

This study companion follows our first sermon series in 2012 THE NEW YOU IN CHRIST, but can also be done on your own. It will introduce you to how to use the The New You In Christ Journal/App. Whether you are using the paperback version of The New You in Christ Journal or the app, the easiest way to gain the full benefit of this discipleship tool is to use it in a group setting where you can share ideas and hold one another accountable. The New You in Christ is not another curriculum; our prayer is that it will become “a way of life” that can be used in any venue with any curriculum. To that end, this Small Group Companion and study of THE NEW YOU IN CHRIST aims to assist you in developing this habit by providing an experience that utilizes the journal/app as an integral part of your small group study. We do not pretend to know all of the ways you may discover to use this tool but hopefully this 5-week study will get you off to a good start! With that in mind, where do we begin?

First Steps:

1. Purchase The New You In Christ Journal ($5) or download the app to your iPhone, Android, iPad and/or computer. (Please note that this app requires version iOS 5 on your iPhone or iPad to run.) Once you have set up your profile, all of your devices will sync whenever you add new data to your journal.

Note: the app is currently in beta testing and may have some bugs. Please do not record any notes that you can't afford to lose. The final version will be ready by December 31.

2. The first time you use the app, click on the silhouette on the bottom left-hand corner of the home page. By completing this profile page, you will be ready to go.

3. To learn about the concepts and context of The New You, turn to the Help section in your journal or press the question mark button on the right-hand bottom of your home page. Read this section carefully as it will assist you in fully understanding and utilizing your new tool.

4. Grab a pen or your fingers and let’s get started!
