Works For Me

I tend to be a very relational guy. For me discipling is all about the journey, the relationship. It is not about having the right curriculum, God already gave us that, nor it is about having all the right answers, I don't. As Jesus walked with his disciples he often assessed their understanding of himself, of the Father, of the mission. One of those times, out of his time of communion with the Father, Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" This opened the door to a new revelation that the disciples may not have been able to articulate had he not asked. Good questions help those we are discipling to think through what they think, believe and know in the depths of their hearts. Good disciplers practice forming questions until they have developed a habit of asking the right question at the right time to help those they are discipling come to a greater understanding, and a deeper commitment to following Christ.

Sunday School Evangelism

Sunday School still brings people to Christ.  Last Sunday, two junior boys approached me.  They told me they don't want to lie or cheat or do other sinful things.  They want to do what God asks them to do.  Both had invited Jesus into their hearts that day.

This all happened when a Sunday School teacher was intentional about discipling her class, and asking life-changing questions.
