Getting Started

Walking with Jesus

Using this site to get to know Jesus

This site can be used for a personal discovery of Jesus Christ. Church is always the best place to meet with Jesus and hear His Word explained, but if you just want to hang loose for the present then this site may be for you.
Take your time to work through the following link pages.

The Good News about Jesus. If you are not sure whether you are Jesus' friend then start with this short study.
Basics. Do you want to know more about the Christian faith? This series of 27 studies covers all the important truths about belief in Christ. One study per week is ample, particularly if the topic is difficult to understand.
Bible Study Do you want to grow as a believer? Go to Pumpkin Cottage Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons and on the right side of the index page you will find a list of Bible Studies and Sermons for each Sunday of the month. If you read the studies during the week you will cover all the major teaching sections of the Bible in three years. This would be quite an achievement. The Bible readings are the ones used each Sunday in most Catholic, Uniting, Lutheran, Anglican..... churches.
Daily Prayer Do you want to grow close to Jesus? Each day it is important to spend time with Him. This outline of daily prayer may be of aid to you. Note the elements: confession, thanksgiving, praise, intercession (praying for others) and supplication (praying for ourselves). Use the outline to develop your own prayer time.
Just a Moment You may find these little conversation pieces of interest. They touch on the many circumstances we push against in life.

Enjoy your walk with Jesus. Remember, getting with a group of local believers is the way to go, so when you are ready, drop into your local church. All churches love to welcome new members.
