Let's mature in Christ together
Jesus said to His disciples, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
Jesus instructed His disciples to go and make disciples. That doesn’t just mean to go and make new converts, which is part of His command, but rather to make disciples who obey His commands, who then go and make more disciples. As Paul tells us, Jesus “gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-13) So all believers are to help build up other believers to maturity in Christ. 1:1 discipleship aims to do that by pairing older, more mature Christians with those who are younger in the faith.
One to One Bible Reading by David Helm
(Please see Isaac for a free copy)
Imagine if there was a way that people could grow in their knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ—a way that returned gospel growth to the everyday fabric of personal relationship, rather than relying on church-run programs. That guided people in a deeper, more meaningful way than an event, program or class could possibly do—guided on an individual basis by someone who cared for them personally.
What is this way? What is this activity that is so simple and so universal that it meets the discipleship needs of very different people at very different stages of discipleship, even non-Christians?
We call it reading the Bible one-to-one.
But what exactly is reading the Bible one-to-one? Why should we do it? Who is it for?
In One-to-One Bible Reading: a simple guide for every Christian, David Helm answers these important questions.
Growing Together by Melissa B Kruger
Women in all seasons of life can feel alone, longing for encouragement, guidance, and wisdom from someone who has been there before. They would value the wealth of knowledge and wisdom from older women’s experiences, but often these women don’t feel equipped to offer help. This book is a starting place, meant to be a springboard for mentoring discussions between older and younger women, setting the biblical basis for mentoring from Titus 2 before outlining 11 lessons that guide their time together.
Each lesson focuses on a topic such as God’s word, prayer, contentment, temptation, and church, with activities for before, during, and after the mentoring session.
Younger and older women will grow together as they use these lessons to walk through life together.
