317-Leadership Development – Nathan Shank
Session 1: A Shepherd for Every Flock From the first church(es) in Jerusalem and consistently emerging from each subsequent harvest field, recognizing elder/overseers in each field is a part of the work of mission (Titus 1:5-6). Paul carried greatly for this task. Paul often returned the venue of persecution to see that elders were appointed (Acts 14:23). What plans and patterns have you and your disciples made for leadership recognition in the midst of your church planting? How do your plans fi...

316-Church Formation – Nathan Shank
Session 1: Pictures of Church Identity One of the most overlooked aspects of church planting is the introduction and local ownership of church identity. Beginning in Acts 2, today’s study considers the matter of local commitment to “the number.” The New Testament utilizes numerous word pictures to catalyze church identity. Today’s study considers these metaphors for church identity and challenges listeners to consider how such passages might be leveraged to call for church identity. To be sure, ...

315-Making Disciples – Nathan Shank
Session 1: In Matthew 28 disciple-making assumes, or is even initiated by, the acceptance of Baptism. In today’s study, we survey post Pentecost examples of Baptism. As we consider these examples, we intend to wrestle with three key questions; who received baptism? When was baptism performed? And finally, who gave baptism in each example? As you consider the NT examples, how do your own thoughts or commitments to practice Baptism come into view? Are there reasons we diverge from NT precedent? Ar...

314-Gospel Seed Sowing – Nathan Shank
Nathan’s first study examines a survey of passages across the New Testament to clarify the Biblical Gospel. What could be more important than sowing the right seed? Our goal is to answer the question, what do we say? Answer: the core elements of the Gospel must be our message. Considering the biblical Gospel, how might you revisit your seed sowing to ensure fidelity to the message that gives life? Second session : As we seek to share a biblical Gospel, we ought also to allow the New Testament to...

313-Engaging empty fields
We continue the series with Nathan Shank on Discovering the Missionary Task. In today’s study, consider a survey of Old and New Testament descriptions of the targets of God’s mission. If sin causes separation, missions cross the resulting barriers to initiate God’s mission. Were there passages or promises you considered for the first time? As we examine our own targets how do they compare with the consistent message and targets of scripture? In the second look at the empty field, we consider God...

301-Acts and the Movement of God (2)
My second author interview with Josh Howard about my new book, Acts and the Movement of God. We discuss the church in Jerusalem as the role model for every church. We learn that discipleship and church formation are two sides of the same reality. We identify the pattern of engagement in Acts between the movement of God and a lost world. We see how the movement advances through both miracles and martyrdom, signs and suffering. We hear how the movement of God is advancing today in the redlight dis...
