discipleship

By introducing little disciples to Jesus and God’s Word, you set a strong foundation for a lifelong relationship with God.

Jesus exposed a lot of things that had been in the dark for a long time. But Jesus not only called Himself the light of the world; He passed the responsibility of lighting the world to His followers.

So…if we’re all trying to hit the same target, why are so many of our discipleship strategies missing the mark?

"There are five questions that must be answered by every church’s leadership about their discipleship strategy."

If you think community is an important part of healthy church life, and I hope you do, then small groups should also be important to you. They are actually crucial to the life of any church.
