STUDY GUIDE: Ephesians 2: Growing up into Christ


Christianity is not just believing certain things and signing off on certain statements that we believe to be true. It is experiential; it is being the recipient of life. And that life is the presence of the Holy Spirit.

If we want to change our city—and we do—change our nation—and we do—change our world—and we do—it is not through our own strength but through God’s.

As God the Holy Spirit works in people’s lives and transforms, the outlook and perspective of our day changes. This is not something new! The world has lived in secular ages like this before and people have come back to seek after God.

Charles Price through his series on Ephesians 2, inspires Christians to live in the fullness of the Spirit in mutual submission. As a result individuals, families, communities and indeed the world will be changed and drawn closer to a living Christ.

STUDY GUIDE: Ephesians 1: Resources & Responsibilities


The book of Ephesians deals with the biggest need that we have in the spiritual realm, that being the feeling of inadequacy of resources to live the Christian life. We are drained and we are tired, and sometimes we feel as though we are pushing a bus up a hill.
But Christ is sufficient – His reactions, His kindness, His generosity, His love; His life in you is everything you need. At times we may be in situations that are not easy. We could be facing a mountain of trouble. What God has promised is not that He will remove every problem from our lives, but that He will be to us all that we need to see us through.

STUDY GUIDE: Ecclesiastes: Life Under the Sun

Solomon had known God but turned away from God in his later years and developed an outlook on life that was Godless and meaningless. You know some people do not finish well. We think our best years are behind us. We begin to take off some of the disciplines and the restraints that have been necessary to wholesome living. And Solomon's downfall was the old traps of sex and greed. You can't get more empty, more depressed than this. Ecclesiastes is a depressing book because it is written by a depressed man.
And the good thing about this book is that as Solomon explores all these avenues, as he writes all these despairing comments about a humanistic view of life, he comes back and at the end he says, this is the whole duty of man: "Fear God and keep his commandments."
The question is, "How are you spiritually?". Perhaps looking into this ancient book is like looking into a mirror where you say, "This is me". This shows courage and humility. Ecclesiastes wonderfully gives us the answer too "Remember your Creator".
In this inspiring six part series, Charles Price shares the hope that is the Word of God, and encourages His sheep to get back to God.

STUDY GUIDE: Living in the Will of God

The question "What is the will of God for my life?" is a valid question. But the first question should be "What is the will of God?" Period. Not "what is the will of God for me; what is the will of God for God? What is the big picture of what God is doing in the world of which I, as an individual, can have a part?"
My agenda in life, to be valid, must be an expression of God's agenda. My goals in life, to be valid, must be an expression of His goals.
Charles Price with his characteristic simplicity and deep insight into the word of God, will lead you in this nine part teaching series to understand the actual meaning of what does "Living in the will of God" mean in the light of God's strategy for you.

STUDY GUIDE: Baptism

There are two ordinances that were given to the New Testament church. An ordinance, by definition, is an outward physical act that portrays an inward spiritual experience. And the two ordinances given to us in the New Testament are namely Baptism and The Lord’s Supper. What these two events share in common is that they focus on the cross of Jesus Christ. They focus on His death and on His resurrection.

The act of Baptism, whereby somebody goes down into the water, is a picture of dying with Christ, being buried with Him, and then being raised again to walk in newness of life. Many people become stagnant in their Christian walk, and miss out on this outward physical act of obedience. It is liberating to truly understand the significance of Baptism. In this compelling three part series, Charles Price connects our old life to the death and burial of Christ, and the new life we can experience through His resurrection power.

STUDY GUIDE: IMPACT: When People Meet Jesus

There is something in meeting people.
I want to talk to you about people who met Jesus, not because of the psychosomatic impact that He may have had on them.
But because of the impact He had on them, they didn’t just change what they knew and where they were at that time but had impact that transformed the very nature and identity of that person, not only for time, but where the response was positive, beyond time through eternity.

What does it mean to be an effective church? There are things going on in the church we can explain very easily in terms of personalities, abilities, programming, planning and scheming. All those things are perfectly explainable. But when Jesus Christ is the source of life, there are things that are bigger than personalities, abilities, programs, plans and gifts where the only explanation is that God is doing something.

In this ground breaking series of messages Charles draws our attention to the timeless dynamics that makes ‘the church’ truly effective in it’s character and mission. He provides an in-depth overview of what it means to be the true Body of Christ on earth.

STUDY GUIDE: Abraham Living By Faith on a Rocky Road

Charles Price mentions that the movement is not always upwards; sometimes the movement is downwards. And it’s not always forwards; sometimes it’s backwards. It can be a little bit like a game of Snakes and Ladders. You hit a ladder and you feel you are making progress and you’re doing well, and suddenly you hit a snake and down you go again.
