Daily Transformed
2 Corinthians 3:18
Scope Ministries International
Daily Transformed is an 8 week study group program with homework, planned to impart methods and encourage the building of habits which will help a Believer to grow in depth in their relationship with God.
Just as there are habits that help us have a healthy body, such as good diet, rest and exercise, so there are habits we can build into our lives that help us to grow and remain fit spiritually.
In Daily Transformed you will learn to experience the tremendous benefit of a regular daily devotional time with the Lord, learn to pray and listen to God, discover the joy of scripture memory and be equipped to share your faith with another.
The format will be group interaction, starting on Monday April 7, 2008 6:00 - 8:00 PM and there will be a nominal cost to cover the supply of study materials.
If you would like to be part of the Daily Transformed study group please call in (405-843-7778) or email us at gjordan@scopeministries.org.

The sole basis of our beliefs is the
Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New
Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely verbally and fully inspired
by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error in the
original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all
matters on which it speaks. (II Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:21; I
Corinthians 2:13; 10:11; John 10:35)

We
explicitly affirm our belief in basic Bible teachings as follows:
|
• |
There is
one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. Each of these possesses equally all the attributes of
deity and thus the characteristics of personality. (Matthew 28:19;
John 10:30; Acts 5:3,4; II Corinthians 13:14) |
|
|
|
• |
God the
Father sent the Son to obtain satisfaction for divine justice and
proclaim reconciliation. The Holy Spirit sent to teach truth. He is
spoken of as the Father of all creation, of angels, of Israel, of
believers, and of Christ. (John 14-17; 20:17; Job 1:16; Psalm
103:13) |

Jesus
Christ became the sinner's substitute before God and died as a
propitiating sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. Nothing can
be added to the finished work of Christ in His death, burial, and
resurrection on behalf of sinners. (Hebrews 2:9; Colossians 1:13,
14, 20, 21) |
|
|
|

It is the
privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of
their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as
their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human
merit, but is the testimony of God in His written Word. The Holy
Spirit's fullness, power, and control are appropriated in the
believer's life by faith (Romans 5:9,10; 8:1, 29-30, 38-39; John
5:24; 10:27-30; 14:16; I Timothy 1:12; Philippians 1:6; Hebrews
7:25; Jude 24) |

Every
believer is called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit
that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, but will bear fruit
to the glory of God. The Scriptures set out the principles and
rules of the Christian life. (Romans 12:1,2; Galatians 5:16-26; II
Corinthians 6:14) |
|
|
|

Jesus
Christ is the head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of
all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through
saving faith. Every believer, whether Jew or Gentile, is baptized
into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, and having thus become
members of one another, all are responsible to keep the unity of
the Spirit in the bond of peace, loving one another fervently with
pure hearts. God admonishes His people to assemble together
regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for
edification through the Scriptures, and for mutual encouragement.
(I Corinthians 12:12,13; Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 2:15, 16;
4:1-3; 2:19-22; Romans 12:4,5; Hebrews 10:25) |
|
|
|
• |
At physical
death, the believer enters immediately into the eternal, conscious
fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to
everlasting glory and blessing. (I Corinthians 15:12ff; II
Corinthians 5:1-10; Philippians 1:23; John 12:26) |
|
|
|
• |
At physical
death, the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious
separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to
everlasting judgment and condemnation. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans
3:23; 5:12; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:11-15) |

Jesus
Christ will come again to the earth, personally, visibly, and
bodily, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
(Revelation 19:11-16; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10) |
|

The Lord
Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel
throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The
fulfillment of the great commission requires that all worldly and
personal ambitions be subordinate to a total commitment to
"Him who loved us and gave Himself for us." (Matthew
28:19; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47-48) |

Satan is a
person and the author of sin. He is the open and declared enemy of
God and man, and he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of
Fire. His work today is to thwart the plan of God and to create
confusion among Christians, deceiving the whole world. (Isaiah
14:12-17; I Thessalonians 1:10; Revelation 12:9; 19:11-16; 20:1-6;
I Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:11,12) |
