1+1 (or 2)

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble." (Eccl 4:9-10)

One of our primary focuses this year has been Discipleship Groups (DG's).

When I was a young Christian, and young-married, there was a man named Owen Leech who, for a season, would meet me every week late on Tuesday night in our church's prayer room.

Owen showed me how to pray - by praying. Owen passed on to me a love for God's Word, with his excitement. We would pray and then read, and the Scriptures would start coming alive as we shared what God was telling us.

Owen discipled me. And did I mention that Owen didn't have a seminary degree. He wasn't a pastor. He was just a guy who loved God and wanted to pass that on.

DG's are about transformation. DG's are a simple way release the power of God in people’s lives so that we can become more and more transformed into God’s image. It is a grassroots tool that empowers every follower of Christ to multiply their lives by reproducing spiritual disciples who can in turn reproduce others.

On Saturday November 14th we are going to offer two Equipping Track classes - one of which is Discipleship Groups. We will be using an awesome book called Search & Rescue as our text for the class. You can sign up for the class AND get the book this Sunday for $11.

We will simply be talking about what it looks like to be a disciple and to disciple others.

How desperately we ALL need someone to help us succeed in this thing called Christianity. And how desperately someone else needs us.

Read the book! Come to the class! Get in the game!
