DOWNLOAD EBOOKDisciple Building: A Biblical Framework provides a biblical strategy for helping Christians grow to maturity. Maturity is defined as becoming increasingly conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ. Maturity is a process, and it is progressive. As people obey the truths of Scripture, they increase their understanding of God and His Kingdom. As this occurs, God gradually changes the believers’ conduct, belief systems, worldview, and ultimately, their character. Maturity also produces an increased capacity for deepening our relationship with God and others, with agape (sacrificial) love as the ultimate outcome. The process of disciple building (teaching believers to obey all that Christ commanded) is central to His commission to the church and therefore a priority for Christian leaders. Worldwide Discipleship Association (WDA) has been part of a worldwide movement of building disciples for over 40 years. This book will give you an overview of the WDA philosophy of ministry and practical tools to begin to build disciples. This Updated Edition features Guided Discussions for use in training a leadership group. For more information about training leaders with WDA visit disciplebuilding.org and wdaleadershipinstitute.com.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChurch growth models have often been long on promises and short on disciple-making. We continue to watch consistent church attendance shrink, and our desire to reach the lost is infected with a need for self-validation by growing our numbers at any cost. If we believe that God wants his church to grow, where do we go from here? What is the future of the church? Drawing from his 20 years and 15,000 hours of consulting, author Will Mancini shares with pastors and ministry leaders the single most important insight he has learned about church growth. With plenty of salient stories and based solidly on the disciple-making methods found in Scripture, Future Church exposes the church's greatest challenge today, and offers 7 transforming laws of real church growth so that we can faithfully and joyfully fulfill Jesus's Great Commission.

When we increasingly become aware of God working within us, the result will be joy -- joy in our daily tasks and joy in the lives we touch.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKQuestion: What is the God-given purpose of the local church? Answer: Relational discipleship. DiscipleShift walks you through five key "shifts" that churches must make to refocus on the fundamental biblical mission of discipleship. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower your church members to be salt and light in their communities. Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. While many of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making disciples—helping people to trust and follow Jesus—is the church's God-given mandate. Devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in their Christ-like lives. And discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ as they intentionally develop relationships with non-believers. Through biblical and professional insights, Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington discuss the transformational effectiveness of making disciples and just how to do so, in practical terms. You’ll learn: The specific roles of a disciple-making pastor. The components of person-to-person discipleship. How each ministry in your church leads to discipleship. How to implement discipleship in your church. Disciple-making leaders will not produce perfect churches, but they will create effective churches.
