Discipleship Curriculum or The Bible

November 28, 2017

Discipleship curriculums and books that promise to bridge the gap between current reality and a disciple making future are a dime a dozen. Is it a result of consumerism or progress? Is the Bible still the best tool available to make disciples? If so, why do so many try to disciple without it?

Consumerism and Disciple Making Pt. 1 - Satisfaction Can Be Purchased

Living in a culture of consumerism means we constantly soak in ungodly messages. Can satisfaction really be purchased? Are we really missing what we need for life? Is money the ultimate value in life? Where is God in all of this?

Lies We Believe: I Can't Disciple Someone Because I’ve Never Been Discipled.

God starts with ONE. He always has. Whether it was Adam, Abraham, Moses, or Jesus, God launches movements beginning with just one. The journey toward becoming a disciple making church begins the same way…with just one. Are you willing to be that ONE for your church?

Disciple Makers Play Both Offense & Defense

If disciple making had stars today they’d be doing what those gridiron greats did in 1920, playing both offense and defense. Defensive disciple making means the discipler is responding and reacting. On offense, he’s seeking to move the disciple forward in an area of need. Both are essential.

Marks of a Disciple Making Culture - Relationally Driven

Though every church has relationships, very few are relationally driven. Let me explain. Scripture tells us to love one another but most Christians “system one another” by pointing each other to books, Bible studies, and programs specifically designed to meet each need.

Rescuing Worship from Music and the Church

I'm as surprised as you. After all we see her every Sunday, right? Some of us see her on Wednesdays, and a few see her on Saturday evenings, but why can’t we find her on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays?
