Paul explained his ministry like this: “I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:25-26).
At Redeemer, we cherish this goal of “progress and joy in the faith” and to that end, we are excited to offer two discipleship workshops this fall. Both groups will meet on Sunday mornings from 8:15-9:30, beginning on October 1 and going through November 12. Check out the workshops and sign up below
Prayer
If you’re interested in growing in your prayer life, join us as we examine our theology of prayer, barriers that hinder our prayers, and strategies to grow in prayer. We will spend a little time each week praying together and will encourage you to apply what we’re learning in your personal prayer life. You can expect 1-2 hours of homework each week, composed of selected readings and prayer exercises. Since there is always room for more growth in prayer, we welcome back any who took this class last year and want a refresh. This workshop will be led by Matt Mull and will be capped at 14 people.
Personal Ministry
If you want to grow in being used by God for the good of others, this workshop is a good place to start. We all need help. None of us is a finished product, but we’re often lost when it comes to pursuing change and growth in our lives—how much more when it comes to helping others change and grow!
“The Bible teaches that personal transformation takes place as our hearts are changed and our minds are renewed by the Holy Spirit. And the two instruments that the Holy Spirit uses are the Word of God and the people of God. Few of us have fully tapped the potential for growth and ministry that God has given us with these two resources, but this has been God’s plan from the beginning. We need a fresh understanding of what the Bible says about this world of personal transformation.” — Paul David Tripp, Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands
Warning: There will be some homework in this workshop, but only the kind that makes you more awesome. Josh Anderson will lead this workshop.
