Download or read book DiscipleShift written by Jim Putman and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Question: What is the God-given purpose of the local church? Answer: Relational discipleship. DiscipleShift walks you through five key "shifts" that churches must make to refocus on the fundamental biblical mission of discipleship. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower your church members to be salt and light in their communities. Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. While many of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making disciples—helping people to trust and follow Jesus—is the church's God-given mandate. Devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in their Christ-like lives. And discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ as they intentionally develop relationships with non-believers. Through biblical and professional insights, Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington discuss the transformational effectiveness of making disciples and just how to do so, in practical terms. You’ll learn: The specific roles of a disciple-making pastor. The components of person-to-person discipleship. How each ministry in your church leads to discipleship. How to implement discipleship in your church. Disciple-making leaders will not produce perfect churches, but they will create effective churches.

Download or read book Forming Intentional Disciples written by Sherry A. Weddell and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.

Download or read book 5 Steps to Salvation written by Gregory Selkirk and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Faith, 2. Repentance, 3. Water Baptism, 4. Spirit Infilling, 5. Continuance.Contrary to the tradition and "gutted" gospel of Christio-religious easy-believers, the doctrine of salvation introduced with the birth of the church in Jerusalem, Israel in the year 33 AD has never changed. The Bible's book of Acts records the early history of God's one and only church whose doctrines and teaching remain the basis for New Testament salvation as we "... are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" Eph. 2:20. Though the world and human society seem to be ever awash in a turbulent sea of change and upheaval, God's word has not, does not, and will not change. This fact, providing an anchor of comfort and stability to many, also provides a very inconvenient obstacle to others who, as we have been forewarned, would attempt to "pervert the gospel of Christ." Gal 1:7.In "5 Steps to Salvation" analysis is applied to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, specifically with regard to the New Testament doctrine of salvation. Whether this book serves simply as a refresher course for the reader, or introduces new biblical perspectives, may the truth of God's word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.
