Steering the Church Toward Discipleship Leadership Guide Download to Print One
Church Leaders, do your leadership practices promote or hinder discipleship efforts?
Before ascending back to heaven, Jesus commanded His followers to "go and make disciples" (Matt. 28:18-20). Church leaders should therefore attach a high level of importance to this mission and steer the Body toward discipleship.
In what has come to be known as the Great Commission, we see that Jesus' mission of making disciples begins with people initially coming into a saving relationship with the Lord but then continues by helping them develop into more fully devoted followers of Jesus who are lovers of God and people. -- Be sure to check out the Discipleship Bundle which includes this leadership guide as well as both the Outreach and Shepherding Ministry Manuals.
The Steering the Church Toward Discipleship Leadership Guide, specifically geared toward church leaders, examines how this encompassing nature of the Great Commission affects the way you lead. It begins with some introductory commentary about the Great Commission and then breaks down Matthew 28:18-20 into four truths leaders need to grasp in order to promote discipleship according to Jesus’ intent. Then, using 25 different leadership tasks as examples, it considers how leaders can promote discipleship through all of their responsibilities.
