Book Synopsis The Lost Art of Disciple Making by : LeRoy Eims
Download or read book The Lost Art of Disciple Making written by LeRoy Eims and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-07-13 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development." says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders "True growth takes time and tears and love and patience," Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's uncertain world, storms will arise that test your faith in a loving heavenly Father. At times, the winds and waves of the world's deceptions will roll in and seek to erode your confidence in God. Without a firm foundation in the truth of God's Word, you may be tempted to go off course and accept less than God's best for you. However, when you hear Jesus' words, receive them, and put them into practice, you will construct a life the torrents cannot shake, "because it was well built" (Luke 6:48). The Purple Book will help you understand foundational truths that God wants you to hear on topics such as sin, salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, worship, generosity, and evangelism. It will show you how the Bible is "God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). It will help you understand that the faith you hold has true power to change lives and transform nations. It will give you a solid foundation the enemy cannot dismantle—and a heart shaped by knowledge of God's Word.

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).

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.

Book Synopsis The Way of Discipleship by : Ron Stohler
Download or read book The Way of Discipleship written by Ron Stohler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-03-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ." - 1 Corinthians 11:1, NIVJesus walked the shores of Galilee and called ordinary fishermen to drop their nets to follow Him. "Follow me" wasn't a suggestion, but a summons from the very Son of God. In response, they left everything known and comfortable to live with Jesus, learn from Jesus be launched by Jesus to go and make disciples in His name. Their lives and this world has never been the same.Jesus still calls ordinary people by name to follow him. The problem is many churches today are filled with people who claim to believe in Jesus, but whose lives don't reflect his character and calling. Many fans. Few followers. Many believers. Few disciples. That needs to change. Which is why the leaders of Grace Church focused their efforts in 2010 to launch the Way of Discipleship to aggressively respond to the Great Commission to "go and make disciples of all nations." The Way of Discipleship is a time-bound, intentional relationship focused on learning and embracing 11 essential practices to following Jesus Christ. The Way of Discipleship is engages one person (a discipler) who invites another person (a disciple) to follow them as they follow Christ. The Way of Discipleship shapes our character (who we are) and our calling (what we do). Like a tree, the Way of Discipleship roots us in Christ, provides stability to weather the storms of life and branches out to bear fruit in our lives. This resource is a tool to facilitate this relationship over a period of one-to-three years to integrate these practices into one's life and prepare the disciple to replicate it into another relationship. It will be costly, but the cause is worth it more than anything else the world has to offer.

Download or read book Deep Discipleship written by J.T. English and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone is being discipled. The question is: what is discipling us? The majority of Christians today are being discipled by popular media, flashy events, and folk theology because churches have neglected their responsibility to make disciples. But the church is not a secondary platform in the mission of God; it is the primary platform God uses to grow people into the image of Jesus. Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples. There are three indispensable elements of discipleship: Learning to participate in the biblical story (the Bible) Growing in our confession of who God is and who we are (theology) Regularly participating in private and corporate intentional action (spiritual disciplines) Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.

Book Synopsis The Discipleship Difference by : Robert E. Logan

Book excerpt: "Why am I even bothering to do this?" Rob thought to himself as he stacked the chairs. The sky outside the window was darkening, and he could hear the last of the cars pulling out of the church parking lot.We invest a lot of time, thought and energy into our discipleship efforts. We teach classes, gather resource materials, design curriculum, arrange discipleship relationships . . . but at the end of the day, what change are we really seeing? How come we aren't seeing the kind of real-life results we're looking for? Why isn't it working? Where's the transformation? What is discipleship all about? We are to love God, love others, and make disciples. That's the Great Commandment and the Great Commission put together . . . not bad shorthand for the life of faith. The first two--love God and love others--are the way we are to live our lives. The third one--make disciples--is the mission: to help others follow Jesus just as we are following Jesus. Our making of disciples flows out of our life with God, to be certain. Yet in some ways, the order needs to be inverted as well: Only as we make disciples are we perfected in the faith. As we reach out, we are shaped and transformed. As we go about life, the mission of Jesus is to recognize the people in our sphere of influence and help them take the next steps toward God. Engaging in that mission results in not only an increased quality of relationships, but a changed life for us as well. Every person is different and we all reflect God in different ways. So why is our typical approach to discipleship the same across the board? The Discipleship Difference lays out an intentional, holistic, and relational approach to discipleship that is individualized to meet each person wherever they are.
Book Synopsis The Biblical Principles of Discipleship by : Allan Coppedge
Download or read book The Biblical Principles of Discipleship written by Allan Coppedge and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this present study is to look at the larger biblical and theological framework that surrounds discipleship. Of necessity, we will also examine certain specific methods as a part of this process. The book grew out of a conviction that discipleship, properly understood, must be seen within the larger context of God's purposes. Discipleship is a means, not merely an end in itself. It is essential for the church to understand what these means were designed to produce. What are God's purposes, and how are these objectives spelled out in His Word? Once we understand what God is after, it will be possible to see the process of discipleship in its rightful place.One of the major concerns from our perspective is that so many books on discipleship seem to imply that its primary (and perhaps only) purpose is evangelism. The church must understand that God's objectives are far broader than outreach. All that Christians do should be designed to glorify God, and the Lord has made it clear that certain specific things glorify Him. Three that bring special glory are 1) a growing relationship between believers and God, 2) development of Christlikeness in character, and 3) fruitful service for the Lord.Regarding service for God, the holy Scriptures teach that believers have a twofold responsibility for ministry. The first area of responsibility is the building up of the body of Christ, and the other is outreach to the world. One of the ways in which Christians touch the world is through evangelism, but it is not the only one. This means that evangelism is a significant part of God's objectives, but only one part of one's total service for God. At the same time, service for God is only a sample of the several ways in which God is glorified by those who belong to Him. Accordingly, one of the purposes of this book is to address the larger issue of God's objectives for His people and then to see how the process of discipleship serves as a means to accomplish God's ends.We cannot adequately understand God's purposes for mankind if our range of information is limited to the New Testament. The New Testament makes it clear that Jesus and the early church understood that His appearance and ministry were the fulfillment of God's plan that He gradually unfolded over many centuries. Thus we must first consider the Old Testament in our investigation. The structural relationship between the Old and New Testaments is that of promise and fulfillment. Thus there is no understanding of what is happening in the New Testament without significant appreciation for what God did in the Old Testament. It is particularly important to identify what God was after when He established a people for Himself at Sinai. At that crucial point in Israel's history, God made known what He wants. He described the people who were to be His and began to reveal the process by which they were to become that people.Trinitarian summary of the basic biblical principles of discipleship.By beginning with the Old Testament and then working through the New Testament, we will get a perspective on the purposes of God that run throughout the Bible. It is a proper task of Christian theology to collect and synthesize as much biblical data as possible. It will not do to isolate a single passage, a single book, or even a single Testament. The whole Bible is the Word of God and must be taken seriously in our effort to understand what God has done in the world and what He wants us to do. This book is particularly concerned with examining how discipleship is for God's glory. Therefore, we cannot escape the responsibility of discovering more adequately who God is and what He wants us to be and do.
