journey

Welcome to our 2006 Resource Guide
Matthias Media is an Australian Christian publishing ministry.
Yet we’re not in the business of publishing books—even
Christian books. Our aim is to produce resources that equip
Christians—regardless of their denomination—to grow in
their relationship with God and to serve others. As our
mission statement puts it …
Ways to order and equip yourself
IN PERSON
BY FAX OR POST
Our mission is to serve our Lord Jesus Christ, and the
growth of his gospel in the world, by producing and
delivering high quality, Bible-based resources.
Since we began in 1988, by God’s grace our resources have
been extensively used in Australia, South Africa, the United
Kingdom, North America, and Singapore. But we also send
resources to many other countries.
We believe it’s important we stay in contact with the people
who use our resources, and so we sell direct to customers.
But you will also find most of our resources in good Christian
bookshops.

Not just a catalogue – a Resource Guide to equip you
This Resource Guide is designed with a particular aim: we
want to guide you towards finding useful resources—all
written by gifted teachers—that will “equip you (the saints)
for the work of ministry” (Eph 4:12).
We’ve tried to provide enough information and ideas to help
you see how the resources can be used in your own context.
In the end, our goal is not to just sell resources, but to see
them used effectively for the building of God’s Church.
Inside are resources for Sunday School teachers, church
musicians, preachers; resources for small groups, or daily
quiet times; resources for church-based or personal
evangelism or training.
After your initial browse, we hope you’ll keep this Resource
Guide in a safe place and that it will be useful to you
throughout 2006.

It marches
on …
Don’t let another year slip by without the Briefing.
What is The Briefing
The Briefing is an independent, Christian
monthly dealing with issues that matter.
Issues that are relevant. Issues of the
Bible. Issues of life.
It’s called The Briefing to reflect what it is:
a shot of encouragement and information
to stimulate biblically faithful Christian life
and ministry.
It’s not your typical Christian magazine
or a Christian lifestyle periodical, as
The Briefing aims to shape Christian
action, rather than simply report Christian
subculture; to equip Christians to live in
the world and evangelize the world, rather
than simply follow the world.
What’s inside The Briefing
Z Walking Brief: Articles to encourage
you in your Christian life and to help
you serve more faithfully and effectively.
Z Watching Brief: Issues, events and
ideas from around the world.
Z Pastor’s Brief: Articles to help church
pastors and lay leaders minister more
effectively.
Z The Bible Brief: A set of 20 daily
readings, questions and thoughts to
ponder each month.
Z Essays: The occasional, longer, thoughtprovoking
article on a critical topic.
Subscribe and save.
Subscribing will save you money and time.
Each month, The Briefing will be sent to

Words that will last: After subscribing, you

and again.

EQUIP YOUR HOME GROUP
How can we equip each other in our groups
The Bible is not just head-filler material. The Bible is
breathed out by God for us, so that we will be competent
– that is, ready, willing and able to do every good work
that he has prepared for us to do (2 Tim 3:17).
Those ‘good works’ include our godly behaviour, our
attitudes, our speech, even our thought-life. And they also
include our love and service of others. This year, consider
how your Bible study will not only shape your group’s
thinking and godliness, but also their ministry to others.
How will your regular meetings equip the group member
for ‘every good work’
Interact with the Bible. Interact with each
other. Interact with God.
Take a tour with an Interactive Bible Study.
We often describe
Interactive Bible
Studies as like
taking a guided
tour through an
old city. You get to
see the highlights,
learn some background information and get given
directions on what to explore next in your own time.
They’re studies designed to stimulate interaction with
the Bible, with each other, and with your current
thoughts and attitudes. And also with God as you talk to
him about it all.
Minister for planning
If you’re a group leader, plan out the year ahead.
In conjunction with your pastor and other group
members, create a plan that mixes evangelism, training,
Old Testament and New Testament, prayer and even a
social night.
Be equipped before you begin
When using our studies to lead a small group, ask
yourself the following questions:
Written by renowned and gifted bible teachers, Interactive
Bible studies are halfway between a sermon and a set
of study questions. While they provide excellent biblical
input and direction; they also leave you to do much of
the exploration.
OLD TESTAMENT
Z What is the end point of application that I want the
group to come to
Z What are the key parts of the Bible study that lead to
this conclusion
Z What sort of introduction is needed to set the study in
motion
More ways to equip your group
On pages 11-13 you’ll also find informative group studies for:
Z Christians wanting to know and share the gospel
Z Christians looking for guidance
Z Christian men looking for directions
Z Non-Christians who want to know more about the Bible

Keeping it short, simple and straightforward
Not everyone has a secondary or tertiary education. Not everyone grew up speaking English. Not everyone has been developing
their Bible reading skills for years. It’s the thinking behind our new range of Pathway Bible Guides. They are studies which
are short and straightforward, and which use an uncomplicated vocabulary. Yet at the same time they are also studies that do
justice to the passages being studied and model good Bible-reading principles.
Z For Christians new to studying the Bible
Z For people who want simple studies without being simplistic
Z For people where English is not their first language
Z Studies that model good Bible-reading principles
Z Studies that unearth the profound life-changing truths
contained in the Bible.

“Every moment in ministry presents an
opportunity. Six Steps to Encouragement
will help Christians to see that. It will equip
them to grow in all kinds of ministry to
individuals.”
Mark Charleston,
Ministry Training & Development, Anglican Diocese of Sydney
“Six Steps to Encouragement
enabled members of our
bible study groups to share
at a deeper level than ever
before.”
Heather Spicer,
St Paul’s Carlingford & North Rocks
“It’s easy for us to focus on our own
needs and problems, instead of building up
and encouraging others in their faith.
Yet we are called to do this as Christians
in Hebrews 10:24-25. Six Steps to
Encouragement helps bring this calling into
a practical and challenging focus.”
Kelvin Harrison,
Castle Hill Baptist Church
“The course excels in the
way it uses the Bible to give
clear direction on the
subject. We all gained many
practical examples on how
to be more encouraging
as Christians.”

The secret of the ESV’s success has been its ability to balance two crucial factors in Bible
translation. On the one hand, it seeks to be an ‘essentially literal’ translation, retaining some of
the form and flavour of the ancient text, and sticking as closely as possible to its thought-forms
and imagery. At the same time, the ESV strives to be flowing and readable for a modern audience.
This balancing act is never possible to achieve perfectly, but the ESV is thought by many to do the best
job of any English translation currently available. It is the Bible that Matthias Media recommends for
closer study, and a growing range of our Bible study resources is now based on the ESV text.

Guidebooks for Life
Bible-based essentials for
your Christian journey
Some Christian books are
all theory and no practical
application; others are all
stories and tips with no
substance. The Guidebooks
for Life series aims to achieve
a vital balance—that is, to dig
into the Bible and discover
what God is telling us there,
as well as applying that truth
to our daily Christian lives.
We’ll soon have three books
in the series with more due
for release later this year
(see page 35). We hope you
find these resources useful,
and encouraging, and that
they equip you for the journey.

Chapman as he explores the

Bible has to say about

A ‘Two Ways to Live’ bush yarn
This entertaining bush story, featuring six fun animal characters, is based on
the Two Ways to Live outline. It’s a great way for children to grasp concepts
such as God our creator, rebellion, obedience, and grace. Also at the end of
each chapter there’s a section titled ‘What’s Inside This Story’ which points
out the connections between the story and the Christian gospel. As well, at
the back of the book, there’s a set of simple questions and discussion points
for each chapter. With full colour illustrations throughout, Gumtree Gully is
ideal for story time with an adult or to read alone. 62pp
Fortunately, Bluey grabbed a branch as he flew past. His
sharp little claws dug into it and held him safe, while the
leaves he had knocked off went fluttering to the ground.
“Ah, there you are, Bluey”, said the Ranger, looking
up. Sheepishly Bluey crept down to the ground and stood
at the Ranger’s feet. The Ranger glanced over at the
hollow tree stump and called out, “I think the owner of
that long, grey tail should come out of his hiding place”.
The tail flopped about for a moment or two, and then
Rocky the Wallaby appeared with a silly grin on his face.
He joined Bluey in the clearing, sitting at the Ranger’s feet.
Once again Ranger looked up and called out, “Curly,
I know you’re only pretending to be asleep. Come down
here and join our group. And Jacko—you’re not far enough
away to be out of sight, so you might as well join us too.”
Just then Wise Old Wombat waddled out of his hole,
muttering, “I know I was foolish to hide, so here I am”.
“Thank you, Wombat, very wise”, said the Ranger. “Now
Sneaky, I can see the tip of your black and yellow tail, so
you might as well give up your hiding place under that rock.
And Paddle, you always hide in the same place—in your
creek bank home—so you can come out and join us too.”
A few minutes later, all the animals of Gumtree
Gully had gathered in the clearing and were sitting
around the Ranger. He sat down on the stump of a longdead
tree and said, “Now, you animals know that I gave
you just one rule that you must obey. Can any of you tell
me what that rule was”

Prayer is a way of acknowledging before
God that you are inadequate—no matter
who you are—to bring about real change
in another person. It is God’s saving
work that gives ‘sight to the blind’.
So ask him to be at work and to use

Simply Christianity
This course offers a great opportunity for a home
group to run an evangelistic event over dinner or in
your living room. Simply Christianity introduces small
groups of enquirers to Jesus through reading Luke’s
gospel and having some of the key ideas presented
and explained by a Christian group leader.
The leader presents the basic material which covers
the reliability of the Bible, and moves through the
authority and power of Jesus, his mission, death and
resurrection. This second edition of Simply Christianity
incorporates the complete text of Luke’s Gospel into
the Guest’s and Leader’s Manuals and now has extra
material on God’s judgement, how Jesus fulfils Old
Testament prophecies and further evidence for the
resurrection. The Leader’s Manual provides extensive
guidelines on how to run each session, how to use
the extra information and how to tell your story
(or testimony).
Promotional materials, such as posters and invitations
are also available to help you advertise your course.
See our web site or call us for more details.

What is Two ways to live
Two ways to live is essentially a memorable summary
of the Christian Gospel. It’s probably the best known
of our resources and over the years thousands of
Christians worldwide have used it to explain the gospel.
In six simple points it conveys the key information that
the average non-Christian person needs to understand
in order to become a Christian. And it does so in a way
that does not assume any prior knowledge or understanding
of Christian concepts. The basic Two ways to live outline
is the basis for three different kinds of resources:
1. Things to give away.
Z Who will be King, page 23
Z Gumtree Gully, page 19
Z Two ways to live short tract, page 23
2. An evangelistic Bible study
Z Two ways to live bible study, page 25
3. A training course for every Christian (see below)
Equip your group with Two ways to live
An invaluable seven week course
The Two Ways to Live training course stems from the conviction that every Christian
should know and understand the gospel clearly, and be able to explain their faith
effectively when the opportunity arises. However, the beauty of this course is that it does
not assume that every Christian will have the same gifts or opportunities to share the
gospel. Participants spend some time looking at what the Bible says about sharing the
gospel, and at the attitudes, motivations and methods that should accompany it.
They learn how to use the Two Ways to Live outline to share the gospel with others.
This involves learning to adapt the basic outline to their own natural patterns of speech,
and practising this skill in different contexts. They also spend time reflecting on the
content and theology of the outline, through listening to two talks (contained
on their CD-Rom), and discussing them in the group.

Equip people to serve as leaders
Growth Groups
How do you identify and train good bible study leaders The answer lies in
this highly acclaimed course. The Growth Groups training course aims to
achieve a number of objectives:
Z To equip leaders with the vision, attitudes, knowledge and skills to initiate
and lead a growth group.
Z To train leaders as Bible teachers and pastors, not simply small group
facilitators.
Z To develop an understanding of small group ministry shaped by the Bible.
Z To impart a big vision of the ministry of Growth Groups—a long term,
expansive strategy.
The course is run over ten sessions in a small group context
by an experienced leader. The trainer in effect runs a ‘model group’
demonstrating the principles and skills of leadership, activities and
relationships as the course proceeds.
The Trainer Notes provide outlines of the 10 training sessions, along with
additional notes, summaries and suggestions to help you prepare for each
session.
If you can’t join a training group, the Growth Groups Manual can be read as a
helpful guide to being a small group leader.

EQUIPING YOU
Who are you
What’s your role as a Christian
How can we help
To help you think more about what you may be doing and what
you might be needing over this year we’ve put together a list
that will hopefully give you some more ministry ideas and
stimulate action.
I’m a Bible Reader
Matthias Media has a huge range of resources to help you
engage with the Scriptures regularly, both personally and in
fellowship with others: Interactive Bible Studies (pp. 6-9),
Pathway Bible Guides (p. 10), video-based studies (pp. 11-12),
daily reading booklets (p.14), and more.
I’m a Pray-er
Many would wish for a resource that turns them into more
faithful prayers. Of course, we can’t offer that. But
understanding prayer better is a good platform. See Bold I
Approach (p. 9) and our new Guidebook for Life (p. 16).
I’m a Spouse/Parent
Our ministry responsibilities begin with those in our own
home. We have a range of resources suitable for helping
husbands and wives to grow together, eg. Short Steps for Long
Gains (p. 22) and One2One (p. 22). Plus, we have a good range
of resources parents can use to nurture their children’s faith,
eg. Discover, XTB and TableTalk (p. 15). Some of our children’s
and youth ministry resources (p. 19,26) can also be used
effectively in the home setting (eg. Start, Hanging in There,
Teaching Little Ones).
I’m a Worker
How can I share the gospel with non-Christian work
colleagues Offer them a gospel book or tract (pp. 18-19,
23-24). Meet for lunchtime encouragement with another
Christian using Short Steps for Long Gains (p. 22). Understand
how to apply Christian ethics in business (The How and Why of
Love – p. 20).
I’m an Encourager
Learn how to be an encourager of others (Six Steps to
Encouragement – p. 11). Give or recommend helpful books to
others (pp. 16-21). Grow in your own understanding of God
and our world, so that you can share that with those around
you for the strengthening of their faith.
I’m a Community Member
As Christians in society, we need to bring a distinctively
Christian perspective to many of society’s issues. Matthias
Media resources will help you understand important issues
like feminism, science, family, materialism, sexuality, and
ethics. See books on pp. 16-21, and CDs on pp. 29-30.
I’m a Church leader
Planning and leading a purposeful ministry is a challenge.
Resources like Mission Minded (p.28) can help you assess what
areas you might need to focus on in 2006. Need to run some
training for church members Train some youth leaders (No
guts, no glory – p. 28), Sunday School teachers (p. 26) or home
group leaders (p. 28). Or train everyone to share the gospel or
encourage others as they have opportunity (pp. 27, 11).
