Whether building a house or building a life, solid, square and true foundations are vital.
If you’re just starting out in the Christian life—or considering it—you want to get those foundations in place from the start. Even if you’ve been a Christian for a while, it’s important to occasionally check your foundations—they might have shifted or been attacked by white ants, or perhaps they weren’t laid quite as straight as you originally thought.
In this Learn Together book, we’ll thoroughly inspect our gospel foundations and make our understanding of that gospel sound and biblical.
Through reading, studying the Bible, watching some video input and discussing what we’re learning together, we’ll go deep into the gospel of Jesus Christ—understanding each of its parts, how they fit together, and what implications the gospel has for our lives.
This is Two Ways to Live grown into a study book for small groups and classes. Each of the six points are fleshed out with Bible study, discussion and video and text input.
More information and the free accompanying videos are at the Learn the Gospel site.
Tony Payne is known around the world as a Christian teacher and writer. He is the author (or co-author) of many popular books and resources, including Two Ways to Live, How to Walk Into Church and Guidance and the Voice of God.
I'm using Learn the Gospel with a small group that's comprised of older saints. We use the book and watch the accompanying videos, which are projected onto a wall (for a large size image). We use the subtitles as well, which are auto-generated and not always accurate. The videos are well produced and it's great to have them accompanying the text in the book - brings these parts alive.
The group are appreciating the logical structure of Two Ways To Live and are engaging well with each chapter. The book is well set out and the variety of Scripture, discussion, and explanation goes well with the video input. We meet for 1 1/2 hours and find it takes the whole session to get through a chapter, without leaving much time for prayer and without getting too bogged down in discussion.
The older folk are finding the memorisation tends to be beyond them, so I'm encouraging them to get the framework fixed and not be discouraged if they can't remember all the words.
I'm testing Learn the Gospel with this small group with a view to using it across the congregation. So far, the feedback has been that it's been a good use of time even though it's unlikely that the members will be able to reproduce Two Ways to Live for themselves. The benefit is in them gaining gospel clarity and grasping a framework by which to explain the gospel.

This resource is transforming us by helping us dwell on the gospel. The reason for the missing star: our small group has found the chapter numbers confusing (they don't match the two ways to live numbers).
A possible fix for this would be to clarify the chapter titles something like this:
2. Creation - Two ways to live point 1.
We have used this tool in a new study group for new and young in faith Christians. A book you can scribble in and online video options to break up the delivery make presentation easy and accessible. Great and insightful teaching that can lay a sure foundation for Christian Faith and also provide a tool for sharing the heart of Christian Faith.
The Uni students we've been serving with the Learn the Gospel material have LOVED it!
Each week our prayer has been that we would go deeper into God's glorious gospel and that God would plant that gospel deeper in us. It has been a joy to see that prayer answered week after week.
I first learned 'Two Ways to Live' when I was 16. It’s been a gift ever since. I’m now in my 40's and involved in leading youth ministry. We’re in the middle of running 'Learn the Gospel' with our teenagers. We decided to do each week over two weeks and use the extra time to help us learn the content of the blocks in creative ways e.g. saying a line each time we take a Jenga block off the tower and giving each teen a laminated copy of the 6 blocks for the back of the loo door. Why let the times tables rule that space?!
Using Isaiah 53:6 (Baa baa do baa baa) on the new version was a great addition. Our teens loved singing that. It would be great to see a collaboration with Colin Buchanan to put the other verses to music and include the songs on a ‘Two Ways to Live’ Spotify list.
I consider learning ‘Two Ways to Live’ one of the greatest gifts God has given to me. I always have the 6 blocks in my head when I’m talking to people about Jesus even if I don’t have a chance to draw it for them. This is such an incredible resource. I'm so delighted to pass it on to the next generation.
