Download or read book Discipleship Group Book One Ja written by Jay Zinn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus gave the command to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19), he presented his strategy for The Great Commission. He did not say, "Go and find converts." He said, "Go and make disciples." His commission then and to us now is the model for a relationship that can be reproduced throughout generations. It is about the desire to teach and encourage new believers to become disciplined learners and students of Christ. I have served as a pastor for more than 36 years and love to preach, teach, and plant churches. However, my greatest joy is sitting at the table with a small group of disciples who are hungry to learn how to become wholly devoted followers of Christ-then turning them loose to do the same. That's my inspiration for this book. I want to pass on my discipling experience to you, while introducing you to a deeper and more inti-mate relationship with Jesus. When you look at Jesus' ministry, he concentrated on twelve followers for three years. He taught and demonstrated his kingdom values and methods until they could do the same. He healed-then they healed. He preached-then they preached. He prayed-then they prayed with others. And most importantly, he came alongside these men and loved them. In return, their love and devotion to Jesus was not about a new religion or cause, it was about him. That is discipleship.The Discipleship Group-Book One will provide easy-to-follow steps for you to establish your own group of Christian disciples and send them forth to establish generations of disciples to come. If you invite several saints to join you through these next 26 weeks, your growth as a Christian will accelerate like never be-fore. I pray you will take up the challenge of Christ's command to make disciples of all nations. If you do, then here is a simple way to fulfill the Great Commission. Jay Zinn

Download or read book Missional Church written by Darrell L. Guder and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1998-02-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would a theology of the Church look like that took seriously the fact that North America is now itself a mission field? This question lies at the foundation of this volume written by an ecumenical team of six noted missiologists—Lois Barrett, Inagrace T. Dietterich, Darrell L. Guder, George R. Hunsberger, Alan J. Roxburgh, and Craig Van Gelder. The result of a three-year research project undertaken by The Gospel and Our Culture Network, this book issues a firm challenge for the church to recover its missional call right here in North America, while also offering the tools to help it do so. The authors examine North America s secular culture and the church s loss of dominance in today s society. They then present a biblically based theology that takes seriously the church s missional vocation and draw out the consequences of this theology for the structure and institutions of the church.
Download or read book Uneasy in Babylon written by Barry Hankins and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2002-04-24 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive account of how conservative Southern Baptists came to dominate the nation's largest Protestant denomination In 1979 a group of conservative members of the Southern Baptists Convention (SBC) initiated a campaign to reshape the denomination’s seminaries and organizations by installing new conservative leaders who made belief in the inerrancy of the Bible a condition of service. They succeeded. This book is a definitive account of that takeover. Barry Hankins argues that the conservatives sought control of the SBC not or not only to secure the denomination's orthodoxy but to mobilize Southern Baptists for a war against secular culture. The best explanation of the beliefs and behavior of Southern Baptist conservatives, Hankins concludes, lies in their adoption of the culture war model of American society. Believing that "American culture has turned hostile to traditional forms of faith,” they sought to deploy the Southern Baptist Convention in a "full-scale culture war" against secularism in the United States. Hankins traces the roots of this movement to the ideas of such post-WWII northern evangelicals as Carl F. H. Henry and Francis Schaeffer. Henry and Schaeffer viewed America's secular culture as hostile to Christianity and called on evangelicals to develop a robust Christian opposition to secular culture. As the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, SBC positions on divisive cultural issues like abortion have remade the American political landscape, most notably in the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Hankins also argues, however, that Southern Baptist conservatives sought more than orthodox adherence to Biblical inerrancy. They also sought an identity that was authentically Baptist and Southern. Hankin’s excellent and prescient work will fascinate readers interested in contemporary American religion, culture, and public policy, as well as in the American South.

Book excerpt: If you are serious about being a disciple of Jesus Christ—really, truly serious—a discipleship group can help you achieve that goal. Jesus established this model for us by forming and leading the first discipleship group—and it worked.

Discipleship groups can create an atmosphere for fellowship, encouragement, and accountability—building an environment where God can work.

This guide offers a manual for making disciples, addressing the what, why, where, and how of discipleship. D-Groups, as Gallaty calls them, can teach you and others how to grow your relationship with God, how to defend your faith, and how to guide others in their relationships with God. Growing Up provides you with an interactive manual and resource for creating and working with discipleship groups, allowing you to gain positive information both for yourself and for others as you learn how to help others become better disciples for Christ.
