At last a thorough and scholarly volume devoted to the study of Christian discipleship... from a pentecostal perspective! Uniquely suitable for small group study, personal study or the classroom, Following Jesus gets to the core of what Jesus intended discipleship to be! Dr. Sims lifts up the role of the Spirit in forming a true disciple as one who is devoted not just to a set of teachings but to the person of Jesus Christ Himself.

Each chapter has very practical group study Question for Discussion & Reflection, a Life-Related Discipleship section, a Disciple’s Prayer section and a Suggested Readings section for further study. A real achievement!

Jesus told His followers that He would build His church, and then He told them to go and make disciples. It’s that simple. We make disciples, and He builds the church.
 
But today we often get this exactly backward. We work hard to build our churches with programs and promotions while continuing to neglect the essential practice of discipleship. And we wonder why we struggle. In WikiChurch, Steve Murrell shows you how anyone can make disciples through the simple process of…
 
·        Engaging culture and community
·        Establishing spiritual foundations
·        Equipping believers to minister
·        Empowering disciples to make disciples
 
Imagine if every believer, not just leaders, was actively engaged in your ministry. That’s the Book of Acts. That’s a WikiChurch.
