Introduction

This SUMMER our GOAL is to again make disciples of Jesus who then choose to make disciples. We believe consistency in God’s Word and prayer are foundational to growing and learning as believers.

This Disciple Guide will provide some tools for your ongoing spiritual journey. We desire to be doers of God’s Word. Our goal is to be a church family that is focused on growing and learning in the same direction. We desire love for God, love for each other,

love for community, consistency, accountability, and obedience to God’s Word.

Our Mission & Discipleship Process

Our mission as a church and our discipleship process are the same. We believe loving God well involves doing these things outlined below. If you commit yourself to this process, there is a high likelihood you will

grow in faith and become more committed as a follower of Jesus.

Based on Matt. 22:37-40; 28:18-20

LOVE GOD Commit to Sunday morning worship and daily times of

loving God with all your heart.

LOVE OTHERS Commit to active Family Group Involvement. on Sunday mornings

and loving neighbors during the week.

GROW DEEPER Commit to grow as an obedient believer

with the daily spiritual disciplines of Bible reading and prayer.

SERVE & GIVE Commit to serve at least one place for one year in our church family.

Serve IN our church family. Serve OUT in our community. Be a giver of your time, talents, and treasures.

Where are we going?

This summer we will be asking all to join us on the journey of exploring who we are in Christ and where we are seeking to go as a church family. We will consider

together our vision, mission, values, and strategy. We will review what it means to be saved, baptized as a believer, experience the Lord’s Supper, and consider the

part God would have us play in church membership.

We are also seeking to help each person assess their personality and spiritual gifts so each can get involved and begin to SERVE IN and SERVE OUT as God leads.

We are hoping to use the summer time to prepare for relaunching many of our ministries this fall.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH CHALLENGE

Level 1: Commit to our Discipleship Process (Page 3)

Commit to daily Bible reading and prayer. Develop and use a personal journal each day.

Level 2: Seek to read all the Bible through in 2020.

Practice Scripture memory each week. Pray for one person to come to Christ this year

through your witness. Be a regular tither and giver of your time,

talents, and treasures. Expand relationships to at least one mentor,

one peer, and one protégé.

Bible Reading Plan 2020 “Our Daily Bread” devotional booklets can be picked up in our

church Welcome Center, or downloaded as a free app. A yearly “read the Bible” plan is included. If you miss a day of reading, don’t worry, just begin reading at the current date.

Bible Study Help (SOAP Method) Purchase a journal of some kind and use these principles in

your personal study.

SCRIPTURE—In your journal, write out the one verse that

spoke to you the most.

OBSERVATION—What captured your attention as you read

this passage? Did God speak to you as you were

reading? What did you learn?

APPLICATION—What part of this Scripture can you apply to

your life? What will change if you do?

PRAYER—Ask God to give you a clear understanding of this

Scripture. Ask Him to help you apply it to your life.

Pray the Scripture over yourself.

Prayer Help

Find a place in your personal journal to make two columns.

On the left column place a date and then list specific requests.

Use the right hand column to record answers to prayer.

Draw a line through answered prayers and praise God. Keep

praying until God answers yes, no, wait, or something else!

When your journal is full, write dates of use on the outside

cover and start another journal ASAP!

God’s Good News

Your heart tends to run from God and rebel against Him.

The Bible calls this “sin.” Romans 3:23

Yet God loves you and wants to save you from your sin,

offering you a relationship with Him. John 10:10

To give you this gift of salvation, God sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the

penalty for your sins. Romans 5:8

You can receive this God-given gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8

Faith involves trusting that God alone can save you and and help you

turn away from a life of sin. Romans 10:9; Mark 1:15

If you want to trust that Jesus died for your sins and receive new life

through Him, pray a prayer similar to that expresses your heart change

(repentance) and faith in Him:

“God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus, in love, died to pay for my

sins. Today I turn from my sin and choose to accept Your offer of

eternal life. Thank You for Your love for me and for Your forgiveness.

Thank You for my new life. From this day forward, help me live for You!

* * * * * * * * * *

If you have trusted Jesus as Savior, please share your decision with a

Christian friend or pastor. If you are not already attending church,

find one in which you can worship and grow in your faith.

Following Christ’s example, ask to be baptized by immersion

as a public expression of your faith.

Our pastor from HPBC would love to talk with you about your decision

and help answer any questions you may have.
