The Biblical Target of Discipleship
This document outlines three levels of targets for discipleship: evangelizing, edifying, and equipping. Evangelizing involves proclaiming and modeling the gospel to spiritually dead people to bring them to believe in Christ. Edifying instructs and encourages believers to live out the gospel through obedience to Christ. Equipping trains and reproduces faithful believers so they can declare the gospel, preach Christ, and reproduce disciples. The ultimate goal across all three levels is to help people follow Jesus.
Determined For Prayer
This document provides recommendations and resources for persevering in prayer, including reading scripture and books about prayer, making a prayer list, keeping a prayer journal, going on prayer walks, and praying with others. It emphasizes the importance of not losing heart in prayer and quotes sources encouraging Christians to make prayer their priority as it is the business of tailors to make clothes. The objectives are to offer recommendations for getting to prayer and provide biblical reasons for persevering in prayer.
Walk This Way
Paul calls Christians to follow him as he follows Christ. He urges them to be biblical in their faith, basing their life firmly in Scripture. He also encourages them to be authentic, showing that their faith is genuine rather than for personal gain. Additionally, Christians should be gracious, preaching with compassion and giving their lives to others as Paul did. Most importantly, they must be relevant, living a practical faith that links their words and actions so that Christianity becomes an accepted way of life.

Freedom Minisitries is a non-denominational Christian ministry with a church campus located at 5825 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80918. Our website is http://www.freedomministries.org.
We are a non-denominational Christian church. We preach the simple, but powerful, good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus took all of our sins, guilt and shame on the cross, and gave us His life as a loving gift. Jesus took the punishment for our sins which He didn’t deserve, so we could enjoy a life we could never earn. Romans 1:16-17 tells us this simple gospel releases the power of God which leads to salvation. This means much more than getting to heaven. It means we can enjoy the love, peace, favor and blessings of God while we are on earth.
We have small groups, which we call House Fellowships, all around the country. The House Fellowships typically meet on Wednesdays to review and study the notes of the weekly service. This is a way for people to build relationships as well as grow in the wisdom and revelation of Jesus.
The Gospel Tools for Discipleship
This document provides tools and guidance for disciplers. It argues that seminars alone are not enough to make effective disciplers and aims to liberate them from panic by providing practical tools. It emphasizes developing wisdom through understanding Scripture, asking God for wisdom, and learning from failures. Effective discipling involves clarity, avoiding assumptions, asking questions to promote relationship over talking, and prayer for open doors to share the gospel.
Devoted to Prayer
This document outlines the objectives, aims, risks, and prerequisites for an effective prayer seminar. The seminar aims to focus on personal prayer that changes oneself rather than trying to change God, and focuses on spiritual prosperity rather than material gains. Risks include thinking about prayer is the same as praying, and using legalistic systems for checking off prayer. Prerequisites for effective prayer include repentance, humility, belief, righteousness, understanding God's will and one's role, and being spiritual through praying in the Spirit at all times. The takeaways encourage examining one's salvation, confessing sins, or stepping up humility and spiritual filledness with God's help.
Effective, fervent prayer
Fervent prayer should be constant, with faith, and persistent. We should ask God for anything He has promised, our own necessities, the Holy Spirit, power and wisdom, understanding of His Word and these times, and perfection. By believing God's promises with confidence during intense prayer, God will give us the Holy Spirit and wisdom, discernment, efficiency and power to overcome.

Righteous people like Elijah demonstrated prayer's power through answered prayers. God promises to answer the prayers of those who obey Him and remain faithful. Living obediently to God's commands allows one's prayers to be effective.
Sixth
The Sixth Commandment prohibits murder. While the English word implies premeditation, the original Hebrew encompasses both premeditated and unintentional killing. God values all human life as people are made in His image. Violating this commandment brings severe punishment, as God instructed Noah that murderers should be put to death. Jesus expanded the commandment's scope, saying anger and insults can make one guilty enough for hell. Murder originates from evil thoughts that enter the heart. Satan was a murderer from the beginning, and he tempts people toward violent acts through dark thoughts and emotions.
Desperate In Prayer
This document discusses fasting as a spiritual discipline. It begins by stating the objectives of learning about the benefits of fasting, clearing misconceptions, and considering including fasting. It then discusses why people don't fast, defining fasting as turning physical hunger toward spiritual hunger for God. The document notes fasting is God-appointed based on examples in the Old Testament, Jesus fasting, and Jesus and the early church teaching on fasting. It explains fasting helps humble ourselves by surfacing other dependencies and revealing lack of discipline and weak spiritual hunger. Finally, it provides suggestions for practicing fasting and wrong reasons to fast.
The unity of god
The document discusses the unity of God through several Bible passages. It establishes that God is one being and the only true God, as shown in Deuteronomy 6:4, John 17:3, and 1 Timothy 2:5. Further passages in Isaiah 43:10, Isaiah 44:6, and 2 Samuel 7:22 reinforce that there are no other gods formed before or after God, and none comparable to Him. The document seeks to understand and apply the biblical truth that God alone is God.
God's omnipresence
The document discusses God's omnipresence as described in Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 23:24. Psalm 139 emphasizes that God is present everywhere, from the highest heavens to the deepest depths of the sea. Jeremiah 23:24 affirms that God fills both heaven and earth, so no one can hide from Him. The document interprets these passages to teach that God is present at all times and in all places, guiding and keeping believers.
The Current Context of Discipleship
This document discusses key principles of discipleship according to Jesus. It distinguishes between personal discipleship focused on following Christ and man-centered discipleship. Some discipleship "tips" mentioned are that discipleship primarily occurs through everyday living, it requires sacrifice though not complex, it involves enduring difficulties among other sinners, it focuses on individuals rather than programs, and obeying the command to love others is necessary to obey the command to make disciples of all nations.

God's righteousness
The document discusses the attribute of God's righteousness. It begins by explaining that God's righteousness refers to His perfect conformity to His own law. As the standard, God is the perfect judge of justice. Several Bible passages are then cited that portray God as righteous, just, and the one who will judge righteously. The passages from Romans discuss how the gospel reveals God's righteousness, and how His wrath is revealed against mankind's unrighteousness. God will judge with a righteous judgment. Application questions consider principles about God's righteousness and how to apply them.
Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life: Section 35
The document discusses how God uses weak people and their weaknesses. It argues that everyone has weaknesses that God allows in their lives so He can demonstrate His power through them. It encourages admitting weaknesses openly instead of pretending, and finding contentment in weaknesses because when we are weak, God's strength is made perfect. Weaknesses cause dependence on God, prevent arrogance, increase sympathy, and allow God's power to be shown.
Get Connected! - Week One: "Faith"
This document discusses connecting to Christ through various means. It references Bible passages where some people connected through words when Lydia listened to Paul's message, and through wonders when Paul healed a spirit from a woman. Others connected through witness when prisoners listened to Paul and Silas praying at midnight. The conclusion is that there is no single way to share the gospel or to be a Christian, and people can connect to Christ in different ways depending on their hearts and minds.
Walking Worthy
Too often Christians do not grow up like they should and it often destroys congregations. Paul reminds us that we should walk worthy of our calling and teaches us five vital attitudes: humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another, and being eager to maintain unity.
Judging yourselves unworthy of eternal life 4 21-13
This document summarizes a sermon about judging oneself worthy of eternal life based on Acts 13:14-52. It discusses how God-fearing people will listen to God's word, and how the Jews in Antioch rejected the gospel and judged themselves unworthy of eternal salvation. The sermon urges people not to reject God's word and considers why some may feel unworthy due to family, past failures or not being perfect, but emphasizes that salvation is a gift through God's grace by faith in Jesus Christ.
How to know that you are dying spiritually
This document discusses signs that a Christian may be dying spiritually and provides advice for spiritual renewal. It notes that Christians can fall away if the story of the cross no longer moves them, if they are fooling themselves, or have left their first love. It encourages readers to participate in worship, save souls, and avoid worldly attractions. For those failing to do what they know is right, it advises repenting quickly. The conclusion calls all who are dying spiritually to be saved through Jesus by obeying the gospel through hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, baptism, and remaining faithful.
Truth Of God
God is the absolute truth. His word revealed in scripture is completely true and reliable. All of God's works from creation to salvation are perfectly true. We should humbly submit our lives to the truth of God found in the Bible and worship Him alone as the one true God.
The Developmental Process of Discipleship
This document outlines Jesus' method of personal discipleship as a 5 stage process: (1) instruct to educate, (2) illustrate through demonstration as a model, (3) involve through delegating partnership, (4) improve through supervision and criticism, (5) inspire through encouragement to reproduce the process in others. The overall goal is to help disciples establish godly habits motivated by love for Christ and help others do the same.
