What Is The Outline Of Mission Discipleship In The Church?

AO2: Explain how this teaching about discipleship might affect the life of a Christian today.

Trinitarian doctrine distinguishes Christianity from other religions and serves as a barometer for measuring orthodox Christian faith. The Athanasian Creed begins its forty-four line doctrinal commitment by stipulating that whoever will be saved hold to the catholic faith “that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity.”1 The church accepted these terms and has continued the tradition of affirming a Triune God as described in Scripture. To uphold orthodox Christianity is to affirm trinitarian doctrine. In practice however this doctrine appears irrelevant. German philosopher Immanuel Kant complained that “absolutely nothing worthwhile for the practical life can be made out of the doctrine of the Trinity.” If trinitarian faith

While the women in the church have an organized discipleship effort happening, there is not a concerted effort to grow men into faithful followers of Jesus Christ. The men of the church need a program where discipleship happens intentionally. The scripture that First Baptist Church uses for it’s vision is Matthew 5:13. The City on a Hill theme comes for this verse. The idea is that we should be salt and light to the world so that others will know Him through us.

Some estimate that 70 percent of the worlds bible-believing Christians (as opposed to nominal or cultural Christians) now live in the majority world.”1 This reality should entirely changes the way we think about missions. If the greater part of Christians no longer live

Sustaining missionaries already on the mission field is absolutely critical in the expanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Living life as a Christian, in many ways is difficult in that there is always a war being fought by the enemy for your faith. Dickson insists that, “there are clear New Testament passages urging us all to speak up for Christ when we can” (Dickson, 101). Christians are called to a life of spreading the gospel to all mankind and nations. Dickson urges that the gospel is the announcement of our King coming to make all things new again. Christian’s are called by Jesus Himself to spread this news and work of God’s anointed King and messiah Jesus! The main nugget Christians should take from this is how everyone is not an evangelists, however, Christians are clearly called to proclaim Christ from our lips as well as

The assigned task at hand was to make disciples out of the veterans. However, there are several requirements for this mission that each must meet. The veterans must love God, be a Christian, follow a command, have faith, courage, stay the course and be spiritually disciplined. The act of being spiritually disciplined assists each in gaining inner transformative powers and opens a human will of righteousness, determination, realizations, and inner graciousness received by God.

Van Gelder describes, “the kingdom of God, and the redemptive reign of God in Christ, gives birth to the missional church through the work of the Spirit.” Therefore, one needs to have the understanding of the term missional church. W.Rodman Macllvaine a writer of What is the Missional Church Movement, defines the missional church as a unified body of believers, intent on being God’s missionary presence to the indigenous community that surrounds them, recognizing that God is already at

I am James Griffin with GCFA and I am currently researching Hispanic mission work within the US. I wish to show an example of how Hispanic outreach through missionaries can grow a church and disciples. I am trying to connect with you because, Sharon Dean and Moses Kumar suggested that you may know additional resources or examples of such mission work in the North-Central or North East jurisdiction? If so, are you open to connecting with me to discuss options for my case

In the first chapter of “Christianity Rediscovered” by Vincent J. Donovan he is introducing us to the idea that missionaries now have a poor reputation due to their history. He says “History has offered the opportunity to deflect and distort the meaning of missionary work in every age”. For a long time a missionary was a person spreading the word of God and after years of doing so we have diminished many different beliefs, practices, cultures and history. At the time it was thought to be the right thing, to spread out and share the gospel to help people find meaning and acceptance. In today’s age a missionary is a lot of different things, in many cases it is more focused on the health and physical wellbeing of the people. Many people still share the gospel through missionary work, but in other cases it is more of a material aid. Donovan introduces the book as a voyage of discovery he wants us to put our normal beliefs aside to see his perspective of living a missionaries life and struggling with the fact of if you are helping or hurting.

This book review, “Let the Nations be Glad,” by John Piper. The first section of the book is called Making God Supreme in Missions: the purpose, the power, and the price. John Piper explains the supremacy of God in Missions through Worship, prayer, and suffering. His thesis clearly demonstrates the focal point is Worship. John Piper states, “Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church.

These people have faith in the message God has given them, and they demonstrate their faith through telling others. Mission as love in action is demonstrated first by Jesus’ death and the forgiveness of sin he embodies. It is also demonstrated by the relationship between Jesus and believers. For Jesus, part of love was being united to better proclaim the kingdom of God. The mission of Jesus is the mission of the church.

Among the challenge of understanding the people that you are ministering to or with is the challenge of being able to maintain high standards of moral behavior in a challenging environment (Martin.n.d). There is also the challenge of ever changing volunteers and the lack of volunteers (Martin.,n.d). As a Christian leader, we tend to believe that there will always be an abundance of volunteers to serve God but that is not always the case as I have witnessed personally.

Missionary expansion throughout the centuries has taken a hard, often violent road. The expansion of Christianity begins with the adherents of Jesus Christ and ended with the premature demise of many of the disciples. In the centuries following the disciples, many missionaries were faced with percussion and death as the gospel was proclaimed. As missionary expansion occurs throughout the centuries, often times facing trial and difficulty, the question comes up; is the capital cost of missionary expansion worth the monetary value? This paper will highlight many trials that have been faced by three missionaries in particular and explain often by the words of these missionaries why the enormous cost of missionary expansion is worth the cost. The thesis of this paper is: everyone is called to preach the gospel; the calling of the missionary is called to live by faith even when facing difficulty.

First of all, any missional mental model should be derived from missio Dei itself, which is "the mission of God to bring about redemption of the world" (Sunquist 2013, 7). When we carry this mission out in suffering for God’s eternal glory, we need to imagine how in the future his goodness, his beauty, and his harmony will cover the entire creation. I think it’s necessary for us to have this vision of his glory and be aware that whatever we do is not our own ministry. The idea of us joining the ministry of Jesus Christ is
