Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For we are God's fellow-workers; you are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 1 Corinthians 3:9-10 When someone starts to build a house, he first lays the foundation on which the rest of the house will be built. If the foundation is not built correctly, the rest of the building will be compromised, affecting not only its immediate use but also its longevity. The previous scripture states that the church must also lay a good foundation in new believers. The Bible contains specific teachings that form the foundation of the Christian faith. To overlook even one of these teachings will affect how we perceive the rest of the Christian faith. An obvious example is to teach judgment without mercy, a teaching which causes the church to be legalistic. However, to teach mercy without judgment causes the church to give license to sin. Both teachings are essential, for the one teaching balances the other. When a person accepts Jesus as his Savior and Lord, most churches place the person in their ongoing programs, with the hope that he will grow. However, a new believer does not share the foundational truths that mature Christians have. The minister may make statements which out of context will appear harsh, but are not harsh when placed in the context of other accepted teachings. For this reason, the church must give new believers a foundation which will allow for a balance, in regard to the teachings to which they will be exposed. Basic Discipleship 101 is written to give new born believers the foundation on which they can build their Christian faith. In this collection of studies, we will examine what it means to become a Christian, identify the principle players in salvation, and examine the elementary truths on which the sermons they will be exposed to will be built upon. Welcome to Basic Discipleship 101.

Book excerpt: "The landscape of discipleship in the American Church consists of a vast array of different ideas, programs, and processes, many of which rely on works as a litmus test to measure people's faith.

This Lutheran sacramental outlook shows that discipleship is a simple but difficult process lived in the daily rhythms of life. Simply put, discipleship is trusting the promises of Jesus and seeking to follow Him.

Book excerpt: Brave New Discipleship presents a new and comprehensive discipleship model for Christians living in a culture that has grown increasingly hostile to spirituality. This book is a toolkit of biblically sound ways to grow and strengthen your church. We live in a social climate that tries to force spirituality to take a backseat to cultural demands. We see this in the way technology has made it easy to access any kind of moral degradation. We see this in the deteriorating ethical landscape of popular culture, from unrestrained violence to open explorations of deviant lifestyles. Many young Christians see this as normal. In response to this, Christians—and especially the church at large—need a holistic discipleship strategy that addresses all areas of life to meet the new challenges of a radically shifting and secular modern world. Max Anders will help you and your church integrate the best of modern educational research to guide the most effective discipleship strategy possible. Using strong biblical principles, Brave New Discipleship, Explores the seven spiritual responsibilities, or 'marks,' of a Christian. Describes the three educational goals in a Christian's life that lead to spiritual growth. Explains and employs a set of knowledge, lifestyle, and ministry skill methods that impact the Christian's life and walk with Christ. Throughout, Anders explores Scripture and sheds light on what is negotiable and what is non-negotiable for modern ministry. Features include: Memory exercises to help the reader absorb a summary of what he or she has read. Understanding exercises to help the reader put into his own words what he or she has read, to be sure he grasps the truth. Application exercises to allow the reader to apply the truth to his or her personal life.

Book excerpt: The most important disciple a parent will make is within their own home, and yet this is the most difficult disciple to make. Family Discipleship by Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin helps readers develop a sustainable rhythm of gospel-centered discipleship through a guided framework focusing on moments of discipleship in 3 key areas: time (intentional time gathering your family around gospel activities or conversations), moments (leveraging opportunities throughout the day), and milestones (celebrating significant life events). Each section provides parents with Scriptures to consider, questions to answer, structures to implement, and ideas to try out as they seek to see Christ formed in their children. Here is a book that begins with the end in mind, offering ideas and examples of what gospel-centered family discipleship looks like, helping parents design their own discipleship plan as they seek to raise children in the love and fear of the Lord.

Within this story, we see the unlimited forgiveness of God. In addition, we discover the responsibility of His servants to be like him. Let us learn to forgive others as God, for Christ’s sake, forgave us. As we learn from these parables, we will stay on the path to true discipleship.

Download or read book Sex Dating and Relationships written by Gerald Hiestand and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the pervasive immorality and high divorce rate of our contemporary Christian culture, we evidently need a biblically based, theologically compelling, practical understanding of sex, dating, and relationships. Pastors Gerald Hiestand and Jay Thomas counteract this problem with their paradigm-shifting view of purity and relationships—a view that challenges even the basic assumptions of evangelical subculture. Unlike most books on dating, this one cuts straight to the heart of dating relationships, asserting with confidence that the line must be drawn at "no sexual activity" whatever. Few have dared to define and apply the Bible's understanding of purity in premarital relationships to this degree, but Heistand and Thomas have done it. Furthermore, both authors are vocational pastors who communicate regularly with the target audience and have a proven ability to express biblical truth in a winsome and compelling manner. Sex, Dating, and Relationships adds a new, almost provocative voice to the conversation that, with straightforward theological insight, pleads with Christians to get serious about honoring Christ with their sexuality.

Download or read book Intermediate Discipleship 201 written by Ron Hordyk and published by First Edition Design Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have--Jesus Christ. Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials--gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. 1 Cor.3:11-13 NLT My second book of the series on discipleship builds on the foundation laid in Basic Discipleship 101. When I first received Christ into my life, I began to change dramatically. However, after the initial change, many other sins still needed to be addressed--some that proved to be more tenacious. Even though other people could not see these sins, I longed to be free from them. Driven by my guilt, I asked Christian leaders how to overcome sin. No one knew how to present principles that would enable me to overcome sin. In fact, many respected Christians denied the possibility of living a holy life, pleasing to God. One day, I read in the beatitudes: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled." I started fasting and asking Him to teach me. God responded by showing me principles which enabled me to have victory over my sins. Sometimes it came by watching a program or listening to a message, other times in conversation, and still other times through personal Bible study. After forty years, I have accumulated Biblical principles that through Christ can enable a person overcome sin. I am not perfect but am being perfected. The more I become like Christ, the more I am aware that I am not like Christ. I am on a journey of progressive sanctification in which I continue by faith to gain victory over sins. We will never become sinless, but we can sin less and less as we surrender our lives to Christ. In this collection of studies, we will examine the concept of sin, identify the causes of sin, and consider the principles from the Bible which will enable us to overcome sin.
