Plant A Church In A Year

Jesus began His ministry making disciples. His burden was for the Gospel to be preached to all human kind. He urged his disciples, “The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.
(Luke 10:2)

This video will help us understand why we should invest our time in planting a new church.

When Jesus gave the great commission to His disciples, he said, ‘Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations’ Matt 28:19a. The word for ‘nations’ in Greek is ‘ethne’, which means all people groups, including nations, cultures, tribes, language and family groups.

As He spoke, He may have gazed to pagan territories beyond the lake, the “ends of the earth. This meant welcoming hated Samaritans, unclean Gentiles and despised barbarians into the same fellowship as Jewish disciples. This was the beginning of a new era for the disciples.

This video will explain how we can work within our network of friends – relational streams.

Jesus shared harvest parables saying they reveal ‘the secret of the kingdom of God’. (Mark 4:11, 26) We use the parable of four types of soils – with the ‘good soil’ (prepared, cultivated, and full of manure) producing a ‘multiplying’ crop (Mark 4:3-20); as well as the harvest model (Mark 4:26-29). It’s one field, but the field changes at various stages.

This video will help believers understand how they can share their faith with friends.

This video will helps us look at the nuts and bolts of planting a new church.

A simple effective reading plan, whatever your level of knowledge or experience of Jesus:

• Friends meet to read a gospel (Mark’s gospel is a good place to start).

• One person prays this prayer: Dear God, please guide us. Thank You. Amen.

• Start to read at the beginning—one story at a time.

• Read each story through twice, then retell the story in your own words.

• Discuss using five bookmark questions:

What is new?
What surprises you?
What don’t you understand?
What will you obey (apply)?
What will you share with another
this week?

• Pray for each other: Dear God, Thank You for Your
Word. Help us to follow You. Amen.

If you do not understand something: Don’t argue—you will read more!

Tell others of this Bible-reading plan: Invite people to join you!

Give each person a bookmark!

Encourage others to form groups!

Plan the time to meet to read again.

You will meet and ask:

How did we go obeying?
How did we go sharing?

Then, follow the above process for the
next story!
