And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. Acts 5:42

Have you ask yourself at times why a doctrine is taught, or have you ask yourself what topics are more important for a new Christian, a church member, or a lost person? MBBC has produced effective materials to satisfy the training needs of both disciples and disciplers. These lessons are good for personal study or for using when teaching others. These studies offer a systematic process in training topics to help students understand not only what truths to believe but why these truths are right. These studies have been used in the advancement of disciples from milk to solid food by laying a strong foundation in doctrine, establishing a solid base in the Biblical concepts, communicating clearly the principles of faith, equipping disciples to effectively defend Biblical truths, and stimulating an enthusiasm to teach the truths of the Bible with confidence.
