Reminder:
- Please don't for get to do your attendance and Group report. Why is group report important? Gives a accurate gage to how the people are thinking, and can be used to pray for the group, as well as give whoever is teaching on Sunday's good resources to address those issues.
- You can send it to me via Text or Email.
- At all costs, DO NOT neglect DSC. (Daily Soul Care). "For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:8 (TV time, reading, playing, news, Social media, whatever needs to be cut out to have DSC should be sacrificed.)
The reason why the American Church is in such a mess can all be traced back to the issue of a lack of Biblical discipleship. Broken marriages, divorce, youth that have no passion for God, no desire to share the gospel, men not leading their households, lack of prayer, both individual and corporate, lack of good sound doctrine, the list goes on and on. It all comes down to disobeying the command to make disciples.
One can't disciple unless they themselves have been discipled. To many Christian's have not been Biblically discipled. They have not seen modeled the Christian life style in the context of small groups. Jesus developed his own group of twelve by precept (taught them moral code of behavior - see Mat 5-7) and by principle. (Modeled what He was teaching.) for three years. In the atmosphere of the group, these disciples were molded, shaped, trained, and then sent forth.
The same disciples became the key leaders of the early Church. Then they reproduced that which they were taught. Small groups meeting in homes fellowshiping, praying, and being taught doctrine. When you look at Titus 2 discipleship should produce sound positive environment where men, women, and young people learn from the older and learned, or from those that have already been disciples themselves. Jesus taught the Apostles, the Apostles taught Timothy and Titus, and Titus and Timothy taught others.
No other system provides the atmosphere to grow healthy Believers. And we have no other Commandment accept that which was given by the Master....
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
