Download or read book Discipleship from Jesus s Perspective written by George Gray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful work George Gray calls the church to live out the most natural expression of her love and obedience to the Master. Grounded in careful exegesis, comprehensive, and sensitive to the complexities of modern life, Gray examines the Gospels as a script that reveals not only how Jesus shaped the first disciples, but how we must carry on making disciples in His name. David B. Capes, Thomas Nelson Research Professor, Houston Baptist University * * * Discipleship is not about teaching someone to pray and read his or her Bible; it is about learning how Jesus wants us to pray and read our Bibles. Discipleship is not about the doctrine of the Church, but the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the head of the Church. It is not about attending a church service, but attending to the Lord Jesus's view of what it means to be the church. In Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective, author George Gray presents a guide for becoming a disciple the way Jesus intended, that discipleship means adhering to His expressed will. Gray carefully examines Jesus's pivotal statements regarding discipleship and unearths the key principles that transform the art of making a disciple from a subjective guessing game to an objective and definitive master plan. Including purposeful questions and exercises, Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective provides practical steps for following the master plan and applying the commands to everyday life to become a true disciple of Jesus.

Discover: How Jesus practiced the Great Commission before He ever preached it Why discipleship begins with a whole-life understanding of worship When disciple-making gets confused with church growth efforts These and countless other insights will help guide you in a faithful, deliberate effort to fulfill the Great Commission – no matter where you live or what communities in which you minister. Included in the book are: The sermon texts and their outline formats. 12 study guides, one for each sermon, that can be used in small group or one-on-one settings in the week following the preaching of the sermon. A final appendix providing a self-evaluation tool that helps each person being discipled to evaluate the progress they are making in their walk with Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The making of disciples, which discipleship represents, forms the nucleus of God's salvation plan for humankind. In line with this noble objective, Jesus made this his main task while on Earth. He attached great emphasis on quality discipleship and consequently commanded total obedience to this great kingdom work. The Mark of Discipleship aims to open our understanding to the real meaning and scope of the divine task of drawing and winning a lost and directionless world to God, through painstaking and costly sacrifices. It helps highlight the positive roles divine grace, wisdom, prophecy, prayer, and the Holy Spirit play in achieving the discipleship work of God's kingdom. It also restates the compelling need for both quality control and urgency in the course of finishing this huge task.

Download or read book Heart to Heart written by Robin R. Ulbredtch and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever experienced the transforming love and power of God as He poured His grace into your heart? Have you ever experienced the cleansing, healing, and restoration of your heart and life? Have you ever experienced a passion for telling your story and sharing the news of God's transforming power with others? HEART to heart: A Discipleship and Mentoring Plan can help those with a heart to share God's love through these vital pursuits. Reaching out with God's love can be done as individuals or in small or large groups. The HEART to heart Plan offers Christian believers a set of guidelines for creating discipleship and mentoring programs in their churches or as outreaches that come under the authority of Jesus Christ and the local church. As the world becomes more evil and more threatening, the HEART to heart Plan can help set up places of support where people can come and get encouragement, love, prayer, and help in dealing with the issues of life. HEART to heart groups can also offer a demonstration of God's love in action: believers reach out, and God uses them to demonstrate His transforming power and love-that He has poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit-to share with others. In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV, Jesus commands believers to "go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; (...)." The HEART to heart Plan provides believers with an opportunity to be used by Jesus to help others overcome broken hearts and lives through sharing God's word, their gifts and testimonies, and, most of all, love. "Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5 NKJV)

Download or read book What Is a Disciple and How Do You Make One written by Mark Swiger and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways the church has become more adept at adding members than preparing true Christian disciples. Author and evangelist Mark Swiger believes that bringing souls to Christ and then nurturing them to Christ-like maturity requires an approach that is different from the methods often employed today. Many congregations do not have a clear plan in place for seeing every believer grow to fruitfulness and spiritual maturity. Adding to this problem, sometimes pastors struggle with knowing how to equip others for the work of the ministry. Swiger has developed a Spirit-led manual for disciples and those who lead them. Part I of his book is for everyone, since every believer is first and foremost a disciple of Jesus. Part II speaks to the particular needs of pastors and leaders who are charged with discipling others. This interactive, biblically based handbook is designed to help the church rediscover the eternal, disciple-making truths and examples found in the Scriptures. God's Word still has the power to transform ordinary believers into disciples who can "turn the world upside down."

Book excerpt: A Personal TransformationFrom the beginning to the end, Abiding in Christ is a step by step account of how the Lord drew my heart closer to Him. After getting me to further commit myself to meditate in His Word, the Lord challenged me as to whether I believed I could be blessed through those mediation times in His Word. This book is a record of my encounters with Jesus through those meditations. I knew what Jesus had told His disciples but never observed what the disciples saw and heard. I began learning like I never had before. What were once common stories now brought tears and humbling, faith-building lessons.
