Revival in Jesus' Way

In this episode Anne and I discuss the elements of the Bible and four facts we should recognize before open our Bible.

Hello everyone!In this Podcast we wrestle with if it is reasonable to believe in God's action in the world, talking through logic, our own experience and common objections.

In this Episode, Tim introduces the foundation series and the need for foundations in the Christian life. Then he goes on to explain the first foundation: God's existence how we can be sure God exists and respond to the skeptics main question.

Thank God for finishing the Church Cliches series, common lies in modern churches which prevent churches carry out Jesus' Great Commission in a real sense.More behind the scene stories in the Q&A form!Email us: [email protected] series summary post:https://entertheabidinglife.wordpress.com/2020/07/31/cliche-series-reference-post/Tools:http://www.discipleshiplibrary.com/: most complete disciple-making encyclopedia;Book: "Disciples are made, not born: Helping Others Grow to Maturity in Christ", by Walter A. Henrichsen. Disciple making practical textbook.

The impact of disciple-making seems small and slow in the beginning and that's the number one reason why churches are not in the game anymore. But those who faithfully trust God's way to build the Kingdom and stick long enough will experience the great power of discipleship beyond imagination.It will blow your mind.Jesus is literally calling us to change the world with Him!However, it's not to say it's easy to stick to it. We will engage with you the hard question: why does multiplication not happen in my ministry?Also what fundamental transformation disciple-making can bring to individuals, church level and nation/world wide level?This is the last major cliche against disciple-making we try to share with you. The next episode would be a thanksgiving episode with more personal stories, to wrap up with this series.We really hope this series can serve you as a ministry tool when you make disciples or influence your church to make disciples. There is a huge mission field out there, probably right in your church where actually people need to be discipled but because of those popular church cliches they are not discipled let alone disciple others. May God use you to share truth clearly with them.And please pray for us as we write them into booklets and translate into Chinese and even other languages as God leads.

Part Two on Cliches about small groups. In this episode Anne and I talk about what critical factors can make a modern small group or church into a disciplemaking community.

An important discussion on why modern Small Groups cannot produce disciples.An important resource on this topic is the book The Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert E. Coleman.Study Guide and talks on the book can be found here: http://discipleshiplibrary.com/master_plan.php

(Sorry this one is longer than normal because these next few cliches take some time to break down, thanks for listening!!)What is the goal of our Christian Life? Is there somewhere specific we are supposed to end up or is it mainly just doing what you can to get better? Listen to this latest episode to hear us work through the typical ways this topic is treated and what the Bible says about the solution.Blog Post summary Link:https://entertheabidinglife.wordpress.com/2020/05/30/cliche-five-there-is-no-end-goal-to-the-christian-life/
