In this second of four sessions of our “Being and Making Disciples” workshop help in Sacele on September 1,2012 we answered the question “How Did I Begin to Disciple Someone?. We started by looking at things we should take into consideration even before we start discipling someone like how we should model Jesus, the importance of focusing on relationships and the goal of what we do in discipleship. We then went on to look at five key things we should do to help those we are discipling to get off to a good start.
This slideshow is a brief overview of Mt. Pleasant Christian Church and what we believe, as well as an introduction to membership. Please email for more info!
This document discusses several important truths about God and Jesus Christ, including:
1) Jesus calls us to repentance, teaches us how to pray through the Our Father, and established the new covenant through his sacrifice on the cross.
2) God is love, mercy, and forgiveness, and wants us to become his adopted children and put him first so that all things will work out for our good.
3) It is important to read Scripture in its proper context within the passage, surrounding narrative, cultural context, and the overall divine revelation to fully understand the meaning.
The document contrasts the common conception of the gospel as getting into heaven after death through prayer and belief with Jesus' message of the kingdom of God. It argues that Jesus proclaimed the gospel as the good news of God's reign through unconditional, selfless love of God and others. True disciples surrender fully to this call to radical love and experience the kingdom of God on earth through living as Jesus lived.
This passage discusses being led by the Spirit of God and becoming children of God through baptism and faith in Jesus. It states that by being united with Christ, we share in his Spirit and become children of God, though this is a substantial change in our nature rather than just a legal relationship. It encourages living according to the Spirit by denying selfishness and living in love, which allows the Spirit to guide us. We must be aware of the Spirit within us and say "no" to temptation and "yes" to God's will in order to follow the Spirit's voice more readily.
SFC - Clp talk 3 what it means to be a christianChristine Cayona
The document discusses what it truly means to be a Christian. It argues that Christianity is not just a religious system of beliefs, moral system of dos and don'ts, or social/humanitarian system. Rather, the essence of Christianity is union with God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a relationship initiated by God's mercy and love, not by human works. In Christianity, believers become a new creation and participate in Christ's life. The goal is to seek God's kingdom and not worry about earthly things, as God provides for all needs. As children of God, Christians are brothers and sisters and their real citizenship is in heaven.

Fellowship involves worshipping together, teaching, serving as a community, and social gatherings. Sacraments like confession and communion are important for receiving God's grace. Overall growth in faith requires faithfulness and patience.
This document discusses the motivations and importance of Christian service. It outlines five main motivations for serving: obedience to God, gratitude for God's blessings, forgiveness of sins, humility like Jesus, and love for God.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

called the Sabbath Day
Now the Sabbath falls on Sunday
Meet the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit guides us and He convicts
us so we can come to God and to Jesus
Christ
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter
The Holy Spirit fills us with courage to
reach out to the community and share
about the Love of God and the Teachings
of Jesus Christ about how He and The
Father are One
JOHN 14:20
On that day you will realize that I am in my
Father, and you are in me, and I am in you

“And let us consider how we may spur on
another on toward love and good deeds,
not giving up meeting together, as some

So, encouraging one another and not
giving up meeting in church like Hemet
Corps to learn about the Day
approaching, the coming of Jesus Christ

in very different
situations, but where
each could benefit from
your solution.
