Breaking the Discipleship Code by David Putman Pdf

Ed Stetzer and David Putman’s popular church leadership book Breaking the Missional Code is helping pastors and ministry staff to guide their collective congregations toward becoming missionaries in their communities. But the need remains for this concept to be further defined at an individual level. Breaking the Discipleship Code, written this time by Putman with a foreword from Stetzer, opens the door to a greater understanding of what it means to personally be a missional follower of Jesus in relation to every aspect of our changing world. Balancing cultural relevance with biblical faithfulness, the book invites ordinary believers, whether on Wall Street or in a Waffle House, next door or across the ocean, to begin having an extraordinary spiritual impact in their unique context. Endorsements: “A timely reminder of our most important task: making disciples.” —Mark Batterson, author of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day “If you lead the disciple-making process of a local church or simply long to be a disciple of Jesus, read Breaking the Discipleship Code to discover how to live like Jesus, love like Jesus, and leave behind what Jesus left behind.” —Dave Ferguson, coauthor of The Big Idea

Jesus gave us one task before He ascended to heaven and that one task is to make disciples of men.Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost . "MATTHEW 28.19.Until we become true disciples of Christ we cannot experience the Kingdom and the Power of God.This book is written to impart into the saints the DNA of God so that we can begin to behave like God on earth.Read and master these codes and soon your life as a believer of our Lord Jesus will take on a new meaning and direction.These are the secret codes that have made many great in the kingdom of God; its now your turn.Finally the secret is out!The mystery of the Kingdom has been unravelled; your story of greatness has just begun.Welcome to your season of favour. "if you know these things, happy are ye if you do it" JOHN 13.17. Life in Christ can be so rewarding, if only we understand and apply ourselves to the mysteries of the kingdom .Every disciple of Christ must read The Discipleship Codes!

Breaking the Missional Code by Ed Stetzer,David Putman Pdf

Across North America, many pastors are excited to see churches growing as they achieve their mission to connect the message of the gospel with the community at large. Still others are equally frustrated, following the exact same model for outreach but with lesser results. Indeed, just because a "missional breakthrough" occurs in one place doesn’t mean it will happen the same way elsewhere. One size does not fit all, but there are cultural codes that must be broken for all churches to grow and remain effective in their specific mission context. Breaking the Missional Code provides expert insight on church culture and church vision casting, plus case studies of successful missional churches impacting their communities. "We have to recognize there are cultural barriers (in addition to spiritual ones) that blind people from understanding the gospel," the authors write. "Our task is to find the right way to break through those cultural barriers without removing the spiritual and theological ones."

Discipleship Participant Guide by The Chapel Pdf

At The Chapel, we believe a disciple of Jesus is someone who is daily following Christ and compelling others to do the same.

This curriculum is a mechanism to create lifestyle change, a catalyst to make Chapel attenders understand their role in reaching every man, woman and child with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Shape of Faith to Come by Brad J. Waggoner Pdf

Various studies suggest Christians in North America are not qualitatively different in their character and practices than non-believers. While some churches are growing numerically, many wonder to what impact. Can we determine if our churches are producing Christians who look, think and act like true followers of Jesus Christ? In The Shape of Faith to Come, research expert Brad J. Waggoner and his team measure the beliefs and actions of 2,500 active Protestant churchgoers from across the country against seven key standards of Biblical spiritual formation: Learning the truth Obeying God and denying self Sharing faith Serving God and others Exercising Biblical faith Building solid relationships Seeking God The findings reveal the current state and forecast of spiritual formation in the U.S.A. Adding encouragement to his insights, Waggoner calls all Christians to spiritual maturity and challenges church leaders to intentionally take up the mantle of making true disciples. Endorsements: "Descriptive and prescriptive, this work will be seen as one of the best books ever written on what is really taking place in the discipleship process of Christians." Thom S. Rainer, coauthor of the #1 best seller Simple Church "The elephant in the room of evangelicalism is the surprising lack of discipled believers in all different kinds of churches. We have produced a cafeteria Christianity rather than a robust orthodoxy and Jesus-shaped spirituality. In this challenging and disturbing book, Brad Waggoner draws on twenty years of research in discipleship and spiritual formation to not just show us who we are, but to point us to what we must do. The Shape of Faith to Come will become a milestone as evangelicals begin to take discipleship seriously once again." Ed Stetzer, coauthor of Lost and Found: The Younger Unchurched and Churches that Reach Them "This book comes closer than any study with which I’m familiar to providing an insightful and objective evaluation of the spiritual condition of the church in America. Where is the church weak, and where is she strong? Some of the answers indicated by The Shape of Faith to Come may surprise you." Donald S. Whitney, author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life

Detox by David Putman Pdf

Over time, Christian people can run the risk of becoming “too religious”—too wrapped up in programmatic church activities and less focused on Christ alone. In response, David Putman (Breaking the Missional Code) has written a new book detailing twenty-one ways to reinstate the centrality of Jesus into our daily lives. Divided into three action-ready topical areas (Live like Jesus, Love like Jesus, Leave What Jesus Left Behind), Putman offers what he calls “detox for the overly religious.” Here is a chance for you, your small group, or your entire church to lose religion and rediscover Jesus—simple and yet profound, and all we really need.

The Great CoMission by Brooks St. Clair Morton Pdf

This book presupposes that pastors and seminarians deeply desire to answer the question of all questions: how do I make disciples of Jesus Christ? The Great CoMission: Making Sense of Making Disciples is a helpful guide for pastors in the field, yet “meaty” enough for seminarians in the classroom. In The Great CoMission, readers will encounter useful principles for discipleship and solid biblical theology for ministry. This unique book approaches the Great Commission from a rite-of-passage framework, therefore allowing for serious consideration of the internal mechanisms of Matthew 28:16-20 by focusing on the relationship between initiation, instruction, and Jesus’ promise to be with the church to the end of the age. Morton writes from a Wesleyan, cross-cultural, and missiological perspective, avoiding the popular method of using the Great Commission merely as a holy launching pad for retelling the story of a mega church.

Servantship by Graham Joseph Hill Pdf

Servantship is essentially about following our Lord Jesus Christ, the servant Lord, and his mission--it is a life of discipleship to him, patterned after his self-emptying, humility, sacrifice, love, values, and mission. Servantship is humbly valuing others more than yourself, and looking out for the interests and wellbeing of others. Servantship is the cultivation of the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had: making yourself nothing, being a servant, humbling yourself, and submitting yourself to the will and purposes of the triune God. Since servantship is the imitation of Christ, it involves an unreserved participation in the missio Dei--the Trinitarian mission of God. In this pioneering work, sixteen servants describe the four movements of radical servantship. Servantship is the movement 1.from leadership to radical servantship; 2.from shallowness to dynamic theological reflection; 3.from theories to courageous practices; and 4.from forgetfulness to transforming memory. Servantship recognizes, in word, thought, and deed, that "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Faith Journey by Jr. Hood Pdf

Advance praise for Faith Journey "Good pastors are recognizing that the task for forming people in faith has a new urgency in our time. Preaching to people who are not learning about the faith and being formed in discipleship can devolve into entertaining an audience instead of edifying a congregation of the faithful. In this book, Doug Hood provides welcome help in this important ministry of weaving into the fabric of people's lives the basic pattern of the Christian faith - a wise and worthy guide for pastors and lay people." - From the Forward by Thomas G. Long, author of The Witness of Preaching and Bandy Professor of Preaching, Candler School of Theology, Emory University "Doug Hood leads us into a wonderfully accessible approach to a deeply engaging experience of growth in discipleship. By offering the interplay of readings, reflections, spiritual exercises and questions he leads the reader into the life changing journey of growing in Christlikeness and what it is to be loved by Christ and loving others in Christ's name. It is a superb guide for personal study, small groups and classes." - E. Stanley Ott, Ph.D. President of the Vital Churches Institute. "As pastors and church leaders, we want more for the spiritual life of our parishioners than an emotional high or intellectual stimulation. We want our people to know God. Doug Hood has developed an understandable and highly accessible resource for congregations. Using time-tested spiritual disciplines, Faith Journey encourages church members to be receptive to what God is doing in their lives." - James Hodsden, Senior Minister of the Ardmore Presbyterian Church, Ardmore, PA. W. Douglas Hood, Jr. (D.Min. Fuller Theological Seminary) is the pastor of Lenape Valley Presbyterian Church, New Britain, PA. His sermons and articles have appeared in Lectionary Homiletics, Preaching Great Texts, Biblical Preaching Journal and Preaching: Word & Witness.
