Opis

Strategies for Discipleship is a small group curriculum. The Strategies for Discipleship are relational skills that equip followers of Jesus in propelling themselves and others forward in their relationship with God. The Strategies for Discipleship are biblical, relational, transferable disciple-making skills. We present these skills in a seven-week, small group format with both personal projects and small group discussion elements. The goal of Strategies for Discipleship is a deeper relationship with God that results in life change-life change in you and in others whom you lead, interact with, and influence. Discipleship is neither optional nor the deluxe tour for Christians As disciples of Jesus Christ, we intentionally follow Jesus, growing in relationship with him and inviting him daily to transform us making us more like him. How do we disciple others? We must model and coach discipleship. Discipleship is more caught than taught. Discipleship occurs in the context of the community of Christ and in spiritual partnership with other followers of Christ. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17) Attend to the skills of discipling others and not merely the content of our teaching. We can effectively disciple others One-on-one, in small groups and even in larger groups. We often assume that one-on-one discipleship is the best possible combination. But, one-on-one discipleship is not always the most effective means of discipling others. There are times in which discipling others can be much more effective in groups. Discipleship is a life-long process. Paul wrote to the Christ-followers in Philippi, "I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." (Philippians 1:6 NLT)"
