Languages : en
Pages : 96

Book Description
This course aims to unlock areas of participants' lives using clear gospel teaching. It takes those following it past the stage of simply believing to following Jesus in all aspects of their lives. Rogers believes that if we are able to identify and address weaknesses in our personal lives as disciples of Christ, the impact on the church will be profound. Rather than sitting back and waiting for eternity to begin, he urges readers to partner with God to see his kingdom come. Using various diagrammatic tools, Rogers focuses on how our minds need to be renewed with the word, our hearts need to be aligned with the heart of Christ, and our hands need to be ready to give and serve as God leads. This course is highly practical in the way that it promotes biblical discipleship, spurring individuals, small groups and churches on to fulfil the Great Commission laid down by Jesus himself.
