KENMORE BAPTIST CHURCH

1-1 DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM This program has been developed for the following reasons: 1. To enable Christians to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ 2. To develop doctrinal and moral discipline 3. To increase commitment to Jesus Christ and His church 4. To give spiritual direction 5. To aid in preparation for God-glorifying ministry

This is achieved in this course through the placing of a more mature Christian alongside a less mature Christian so that they might challenge, encourage and assist each other in their spiritual walk with God. While this process process has many advantages wrong attitudes existing in either party can lead to problems such as: 1. Legalism and authoritarianism concerning how one should live 2. A worldly class system emphasising “superiority in the faith” 3. Divisive dominance and control of people ‟s lives This is not what this program program is about. about. We believe that the Holy Spirit must essentially be the discipler of every Christian. The reason that two people might come together in a discipleship program is that they could help each other grow in the faith through mutual ministry, as the Holy Spirit works in both their lives. Each Christian must be finally accountable to God alone for their personal spiritual life. We do not therefore encourage any kind of overt pressure on those undertaking this program to conform to some standard apart from that clearly laid down in the notes. Even then it must always be an individual‟s right to decide their own response to the requirements of the program. We desire that change and growth in a person‟s life be as as a result of their own desire rather than due to the pressur e from another. If at any time you wish to talk over this program and its requirements, please do not hesitate to contact the pastors of the











































INTRODUCTION Hi, it‟s great to have you as part of the 1 -1 Discipleship Program of Kenmore Baptist Church. We take very very seriously the commission of Jesus Christ to His first disciples found in Matthew 28:18-20, where He says: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I commanded you. you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” The making of “disciples of Jesus Christ” is to be the top priority of the church. church. Your willingness to undertake this training program tells us that you too see this as highly important. You may be wondering what it means to be a “disciple” of Jesus Christ. Without becoming too technical, it basically means that one is prepared to follow and live out the example of Jesus Christ in their own life. It means learning over a period of time the “disciplines” of life that produce in you “Christ“Christ-likeness”. There have been many descriptions of a “disciple” over the years, but two that I have found very helpful are included to help you understand what the Bible tells us a disciple is.

The marks of a disciple: What are we aiming at when we talk about about making disciples? Let





















2. Are you learning to listen? When Simon Peter was full of bright ideas on the Mount of Transfiguration, God told him to „listen‟ to his Son. (Luke 9:35) When M artha was impatiently bustling around preparing a meal whilst Jesus was talking, she was gently rebuked for not being like Mary who was sitting quietly listening to the Master. (Luke 10:41) 3. Are you you willing to learn? When Jesus spoke about his coming suf ferings ferings and death, Peter blurted out, „God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen happen to you.‟ The stinging stinging reply was something that Peter never forgot. forgot. (Matthew 16:22) 4. Are you willing to be be corrected? How well do you receive honest criticism, when others speak the truth in love? (Matthew 18:15) 5. How well do do you submit to those who are over over you? (1 Thessalonians 5:12; Hebrews Hebrews 13:17) Are you willing to do this, even when you don‟t understand all the reasons why, or when you don‟t naturally enjoy what you are being asked to do? 6. Can you share your life with others, in open and honest fellowship? (1 John 1) 7. Are you learning humility? Can you rejoice with with those who rejoice, and be genuinely glad when others are blessed in some way or other? other? (Philippians 2:3) 8. Are you learning to examine your own life before criti cising others? (Matthew 7:1-5) 9. Do you know your your weaknesses? weaknesses? Are you you learning to overcome them through the grace of God? (2 Corinthians 12:9)





















12. Have you you stickability? Or do you give up easily? How do do you handle discouragements? (Ephesians 6:10; 2 Corinthians 4:7) 13. Can you be trusted? (1 Corinthians Corinthians 4:2) Are you reliable? Will you get get on with a task without constant constant nagging? Do you trust others, even when they have disappointed you and let you down? 14. Do you mind your own own affairs? Or do you you always want to pry into the lives of others, becoming a busybody or even a gossip? (John 21:21; 21:21; 1 Timothy 5:13) 15. Do you you do little things well? (Colossians 3:17) 16. How do you you use your leisure? Do you see that all your your time is a gift of God to be used wisely? (Ephesians 5:15-17) 17. Do you you aim first and foremost to please God? Or do you you seek the praise of others, or gratify your own desires? (John 12:43; 2 Corinthians 5:9) 18. Are you quick to obey when God speaks to you? When fisherman Peter obeyed instantly the instructions of Jesus on the Sea of Galilee, however foolish those instructions may have seemed to him, there were astonishing results (Luke 5:4-9). This proved a vital lesson (which had to be learned more than once) in the years ahead. 19. Have you faith in God, especially when there may be no outward signs to encourage your your faith? (Luke 18:1-8; Mark 11:12) 20. Where is your security? Are you willing to trust ultimately in the love and faithfulness of God, or do you look for more temporal and material securities first and foremost? (Matthew 6:19-34) 6:19-34) Are you willing to move as the Spirit





















A second description of a disciple: 1. Disciples are learners - open and teachable. Proverbs 9:8-10; Matthew 4:19; John 6:60-66 2. Disciples put Christ first in all areas of their life. Matthew 6:9-13, 24, 33; Luke 9:23; John 13:13; 2 Corinthians Corinthians 5:15 3. Disciples are committed to lives of purity and are taking steps to separate from sin. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:22-5:5; Colossians 3:5-10; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7; Titus 2:12-14 4. Disciples have a daily devotional time and are developing in their prayer lives. Psalm 27:4; 42:1-2; Mark Mark 1:35; Luke 11:1-4; 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18; James 1:5-7; 5:16 5. Disciples demonstrate faithfulness and desire to learn and apply the Word of God through hearing it preached and taught, reading it frequently, Bible study, Scripture memory and meditation on the Scriptures. John 8:31; Acts 2:42; 17:11; 17:11; Colossians 3:16, 2 Timothy 2:15 6. Disciples have hearts for witnessing, giving their testimony clearly, and presenting the gospel regularly with increasing skill. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 5:42; 14:21-23; 22:14-15; Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 2:4 7. Disciples attend church regularly to worship God, to have their spiritual needs met, and to make a contribution to the body of believers. Psalm 122:1; Acts 16:5; 1 Corinthians Corinthians 12:12-27;





















9. Disciples demonstrate servant hearts by helping others in practical ways. Mark 10:42-45; Acts 6:1-4; 2 Corinthians 12:15; Philippians 2:25-30; 1 Thessalonians Thessalonians 2:8-9 10. Disciples give regularly and honour God with their finances. Haggai 1:6-9; Malachi Malachi 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Philemon 14 11. Disciples demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit by attractive relationships with Christ and their fellow persons. Acts 16:1-2; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; 13:4-7; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Peter 2:18-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8























To achieve this level of maturity takes commitment and time - it doesn‟t happen overnight. Be patient - a disciple is a person under reconstruction! When a person first becomes a Christian, they need help in being sure of their position position in Christ (assurance). They also require assistance in regularly practising the disciplines of the faith (consistency). As they mature further, their faith becomes becomes the natural basis of their life (stability), so that the qualities of Jesus are clearly evident evident (Christlikeness). At this point point in their spiritual development they take initiatives in reaching others for Christ (independence) and eventually take on assisting others in their

FACTS, FAITH AND FEELINGS This old illustration demonstrates that Christian faith does not depend upon our feelings, which are always changing, but upon the facts of what God has done through Jesus as recorded in the Bible. These facts never change.

Three people are walking along the top of a narrow wall. The first person is called Facts, the second Faith and the last, Feelings. As long as the middle person, Faith, keeps their eyes on Facts, the y can walk securely and steadily on the wall. If Faith turns turns around and looks at Feelings over their shoulder, Faith starts to wobble and feel insecure. So in the Christian faith, solid faith is based on the facts of Jesus as learned in the Bible. If we go too much by feelings, our faith will always be unsteady and weak.





















A STORY OF BLONDIN Blondin was a famous trick-stunt high-wire artist in America. Some years ago he stretched a wire rope across the top of Niagara Falls and walked across it. Next he announced that he he was going to wheel a person in a wheelbarrow across the wire. A newspaper reporter came to interview Blondin about this proposed stunt. “Do you think think I can do this great feat?” Blondin asked the reporter. “I really believe you you can”, replied the the reporter. “I think you you are the greatest stunt artist of all TIME!” “You believe I can do it?” asked Blondin, “Well then, you get in the wheelbarrow!” There is a great difference between believing something or in someone theoretically, and being willing to commit your life into his or her hands by faith.

HOW TO EXPERIENCE GOD‟S LOVE AND FORGIVENESS 1. WHAT IS THE GREATEST ADVENTURE OF LIFE? To know Jesus Christ personally as Saviour and Lord is the greatest privilege and adventure of life.

We can have new life in Jesus Christ a. An abundant (full and overflowing) life - John - John 10:10 b. A fruitful life - Galatians 5:22-23, John 15:8, Matthew 4:19 2. WHAT IS THE GREAT CHALLENGE OF TODAY? The great challenge of today is for us to be part of the solution to Malaysia‟s Malaysia‟s problems, rather than part of the problem. How? a. New life in Jesus Christ. b. Imparting that life to others. c. A life of victory even amidst problems and challenges. 3. WHAT IS THE GREAT PROBLEM IN THE WAY? We can never live the Christian life in our own strength because of sin. Paul identifies in Corinthians two kinds of























Paul goes on to say in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3; Romans 7:15-24 and Galatians 5:16-17 that whilst our relationship with Christ is secure, fellowship can be broken at any time by wilful disobedience. Christians in this state are described as carnal, fleshly or selfcentred.

A CHRISTIAN IN FELLOWSHIP

A CHRISTIAN OUT OF FELLOWSHIP

Only the spiritual person lives the Christian life as it should be lived, ie: Christ in control and empowering that life.





















4. WHAT IS THE GREAT SOLUTION GOD HAS PROVIDED? Paul discovered the solution to living the abundant Christian life:

a. Draw on the power of Christ‟s resurrection life Romans 7:29. b. Walk in the power of the Holy Spirit - trusting God despite circumstances - Romans 8:4-5. c. Claim God‟s solution by practising Spiritual breathing EXHALE - confess your sins INHALE - claim the fullness of the Holy Spirit by faith. What does CONFESSION mean? It means, “to agree” with God concerning: a. Our Sin.

SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT

SHARING CHRIST BY WORD AND ACTION To successfully complete your 1-1 Discipleship Training and begin the process of “reproduction”, you are now to minister the love of Christ to others by word word and action. Accomplish two things things with your discipler: 1. Minister to someone with a need 2. Share your faith with a non-Christian. In order to do this you and your discipler will need to go through and practice how to share the “Knowing God Personally” booklet and then arrange a meeting with a non-Christian in order to share your faith (including your your testimony). In addition, you you will need to contact the Pastor of Pastoral Care to gain information as to needs in the fellowship or local community so as to assist in meeting those needs. You may even in this area have the opportunity to share your testimony or “Knowing God Personally”. BE PREPARED!!! Work through the following material with your discipler: AN OVERVIEW OF THE EVANGELISM PROCESS (See chart 1)

The evangelism process is essentially in three phases. 1. CULTIVATION (preparing the soil) Here we we work at meeting people‟s needs, building relationships, earning the right to be heard, entering





















3. HARVESTING (picking the crop) Here we encourage (gently and sensitively) people to receive Christ into their lives and so enter a new relationship with God. This phase challenges the will or volition.

We must remember that while we are working at caring for people and sharing our faith, God is providing the platform on which our efforts will ultimately make make sense. Through His Spirit Spirit He is revealing to people the fact that a personal, all-powerful, intelligent God is behind all we see (Romans 1:18-32). 1:18-32). He is convicting people of sin, righteousness and judgment. He brings people to salvation and even causes their growth. We should remember that people have different levels of understanding of spiritual matters and so we must be sensitive to meet them where they are and not make assumptions. ass umptions.

Chart 1





















When you discern (through observation and the leading of God‟s Spirit) that a person is ready to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, begin to share the “Knowing God God Personally” booklet.

HOW TO SHARE THE KNOWING GOD PERSONALLY BOOKLET Always spend time asking questions of the people to be shared with, that allow you to know about them, enter their lives, show that you care and are interested. Be aware that you you will experience both psychological and spiritual opposition to sharing your faith. In faith, trust God and rely on His power to overcome this opposition. The Booklet “Knowing God Personally” is written to overcome much of the pressure you will experience in sharing your faith. Your major initial task is to turn the general general conversation to Christ. Think up ways ways in which you could could introduce Christ into the conversation and then how you could invite people to go through the booklet with you.

Some guidelines for sharing: 1. Always be sensitive to the person, and reliant on the Holy Spirit‟s leading. leading. 2. Read the booklet with the person- aloud, clearly, and slowly - but not mechanically. 3. Remember you are not sharing principles but Christ. 4. If real questions arise - answer them briefly. If “red herring” questions arise - defer answering until after the presentation by saying, “that‟s a good question, can I talk about that after we have read this booklet?”





















9. When you come to the prayer and the person wants to pray, make sure they understand what they are doing and allow them to decide how this is to be done. 10. If a person does not pray to receive Christ, assure them of your availability for further counsel. 11. If interruptions occur, remain cool, relaxed and calm. It‟s no big deal - God is still in control. If you relax the other person will also. After the interruption is through, go back and review the points covered, covered, then continue. If it is inappropriate to continue, you could arrange another meeting, or leave the booklet. 12. Make sure you carefully explain what a decision to come under the Lordship of Christ really means. Share with the person Luke 14:25-33. Once having explained this passage, ask the person any of the following questions: “What do you think it means to receive Jesus Christ Christ as Lord?” “What do you think it means to become a Christian?” 13. If the person is positive but hesitant, ask them “What one thing would prevent you giving your life to Christ right now?” Share with them.

ALWAYS BRING PEOPLE BACK TO THE MAIN ISSUE OF SAYING „YES‟ OR „NO‟

TO CHRIST.

Both of you should complete the task and if possible spend some time sharing with the person concerned on a social and spiritual level.
