“The 3 Influences”
Looking back over the last 7 years, God has used three very important things to shape me into who I am: Small group bible studies, discipleship and accountability, and missions.
I. Small Group Bible Studies
“Life change happens through small groups”
—Rev. Brian Fisher
“I would rather have students come to Tuesday night Bible studies than Sunday morning church.”
—Rev. Matt Morton
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”
—Heb. 10:23-25
A. Small groups help anchor your faith
B. Teaches you how to study and use the Bible
II. Discipleship and Accountability
Purposeful Relationships for the purpose of developing spiritually
“The things you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
—2 Tim. 2:2
III. Missions
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
—Matt. 28:19
“but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
—Acts 1:8
