THEBALANCED

DISCIPLESHIPPLAN

The goal of every group leader is to make mature

disciples. The Balanced Discipleship Plan can

help. This researched-based strategy features

seven crucial discipleship categories. Simply

map out a plan by choosing a study from each of

these categories over the course of a year and

you will ensure your group is taking a balanced

approach to attaining spiritual maturity.

Discipleship is the process of obedience to the One who is in authority over us. Transformation can be seen when we progressively set aside earthly delights for kingdom priorities. Resources in this category push disciples into

a greater understanding of their identity in Christ.

LIKE NO OTHERTHE LIFE OF CHRIST


When Jesus shared the last supper with His disciples, He said, “I have eagerly

desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15, niv). Jesus also

wants to have communion with His disciples today. The Lord’s Supper is a sacred

occasion for believers to remember Jesus’ great sacrifice for our sins and to

rekindle our love for the One who died for us.

Come to the Lord’s Table provides 28 daily devotions that will prepare you to

experience the Lord’s Supper as a meaningful time of refreshment and renewal

in your relationship with Christ. By focusing on the cross, you will realize Jesus’

love and sacrifice for you. To partake of the supper in a worthy manner, you will

examine your life and repent of sins that disrupt your fellowship with Christ.

As you look forward to the wedding supper of the Lamb, you will be encouraged

to renew your love for Him and to give Him first place in your life.

Do you need a fresh cleansing from sin? Come! Are you weary and burdened?

Come! Do you want to follow Christ and experience the abundant life He came

to give? Come! Do you hunger and thirst for more of Christ? Come! The Lord

has spiritual food and drink waiting at His table. The needy are welcome there.

Come to the Lord’s table! He will satisfy your soul.

You didn’t need long after becoming a Christian to learn

that Satan would stop at nothing to defeat your efforts to

grow and serve your new Master. Right? Going up against

Satan every day with everything on the line short of the

security of your salvation is a scary thought

!

Christ wants you to know that just as surely as He saved you

and keeps you saved, He can give you the victo

ry over every-

thing Satan will throw at you. You can be a survivor in your

Christian life!

Do I have to put on the armor of God daily? How do I put it on? What if I am missing one or more of the pieces?

Putting on the Armor: Equipped and Deployed for Spiritual Warfare gives solid biblical answers from the well-

known passage in Ephesians 6:10-20. Author Dr. Chuck Lawless explores not only this passage but also

the entire Book of Ephesians as Paul built toward this topic in the final chapter.

Learn the interconnection between each part of the armor and why each is essential. Develop the

desire for godly character traits that allow you to wear the complete armor—not to sit in the church pew

but to be deployed in your family, neighborhood, business, and church. Gaining insight into the enemy’s

attacks will give you victory in defeating him or faithful endurance until God’s purposes are served.

This Bible study features seven weeks of individual study in a five-day-a-week format and a leader

guide at the back for an introductory group session plus seven additional weekly group sessions.
