Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. Have people share a name of someone who helped them to become a disciple of Christ.

Read Matthew 28:19-20 Ask God to bless your study.

Barna Group: “When asked if they had ‘heard of the Great Commission,’ half of U.S. churchgoers (51%) say they do not know this term.” What do you think are some of the contributors to this stat?

  1. Ourmissionstatementforthechurchis;"Ourmissionisto glorify God by: Loving God; Loving people; Making disciples.” (Matt. 22:37-40; Matt. 28:19-20)

    • How important is it for all of us at NMBC to remind each other of this mission statement?

    • Could you have recited this statement if someone asked you want our mission is?

  2. Whenitcomestomakingdisciples,howisitconnectedto conversion? Is there a difference? Read Ephesians 2:8-9

  3. Read: James 1:22-27, and James 2:14-26. These passages shows very clearly that our walk needs to have action and not just words. Discuss the difference between what Paul writes about faith in Ephesians and what James writes about.

  4. What about D-Groups intimates you? What benefits do you think would come from committing to a D-Group?

• D-Groups is a gender-specific closed group of 3 to 5 believers (including the leader) who meet together weekly for the purpose of accelerated spiritual transformation. This is a 12-18 month commitment that meets weekly to work through 4 spiritual disciplines: Bible Engagement / journalling, Scripture Memory, Accountability, and Prayer.
