Discipleship and Spiritual Growth

Outreach Resources of the Year: Discipleship

Here are the top Discipleship resources of the year.

Keep It Weird

I like routine, and I like many “normal” things. I am a creature of habit. So, I am not going to talk about how churches need to be spontaneous and constantly “shake things up.”

Spiritual Disciples

Like so many I know and love, I can easily imagine how my path into the void could have led somewhere other than here, back home.

Unbound by Time: God’s Eternity

As time-bound creatures, we struggle all the more with the notion of eternity. We cannot imagine any kind of experience or reality that is not defined by time. The very concept almost overwhelms our rational capacity.

Pride and Humility

Step Out

By remaining faithful to Scripture’s commands and patterns, Jesus demonstrated courage. In providing a miraculous meal, he followed his Father’s example. Again and again in the Old Testament, God had produced food for those who were hungry, first in the form of manna and quail for the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16) and then for Elijah (1 Kings 17:2–16).

Why You Can Believe in the Power of Prayer

Ultimately, we approach God with complete humility because he is God and we are not. He is the Creator; we are the creation. Indeed, we approach him with a posture of total humility and lack of pride because “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).

Watch Yourself

We should assume that we are more resentful and less forgiving and more controlled by what people have done to us than we think we are.

Why ‘Trying’ Alone Won’t Change Your Life

To finally experience the change and victory we desire, it’s essential that we understand the difference between trying and training. So read those definitions again until you’ve got it.
