“I
have come that they might have LIFE, and might have it abundantly.”
John 10:10
“An English
minister describing his inner city outreach in Bristol, England once commented,
‘I minister to the lost, the least, the lonely and the last.’
Perhaps you
have felt like you would fall into any or all of these categories: lost, least,
lonely, last. Well, be encouraged! Our Lord Jesus came just for YOU!”
Luke 5:31; 4:18-19; John
10:10; 8:32
Or are you
saying, “What about me?” “I’ve been a Christian for some time now and my life
is still a mess. What’s wrong with the foundation of my house?”
“Christ not
only died for your sins, He came to give His life to you. Why? First,
because He desires to have fellowship with you. Secondly, He wants to be able
to live His life through you.
…You don’t
have to wait until you die to experience all of the benefits of life in Christ.
They are yours NOW! God says that He has given you a whole new identity. He has
made you a new creation. He has made you His precious child. What’s more, God
says that He has seated you with Him in His presence already.
And that’s
only the beginning of the good news.”

This workbook is designed to help you address the root causes of the problems
you face everyday.
Scope uses
the tree to represent man’s three-part nature: spirit, soul, and body.
Ø The roots represent the
spirit of man, which is the means of knowing and worshipping God.
Ø The trunk represents man’s
soul, the means of expressing the mind, will, and emotions.
Ø The leaves represent the
body, the most noticeable and changing aspect.
Ø The sky depicts the wind of
God’s Spirit at work in the world.
Ø The river of living water is
the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer’s spirit (roots), filling the soul
(trunk) and producing fruit in the body (leaves).
Ø The roots of the tree are
rooted in God’s love and are one with Christ’s Spirit.
Ø The believer is drinking
from the river of life and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Ø The leaves of the tree
pointed upward are depicting a life of worship and praise.
Ø Jesus is visible in the
tree, reproducing His life in the soul (trunk) and expressing Himself through
the body (leaves).
