2020 Men’s Discipleship Bible Study Sessions
Last Updated on February 18, 2021 by Rocklyn Clarke
Contents
Description and Purpose
This web page supports the weekly discipleship-oriented men’s Bible study that Life Church launched in February 2020. It contains both general resources for the Men’s Bible Study and resources specific to the sessions we have conducted so far.
The Bible
Doing the Bible is the first of our Core Values at Life Church and in order to do the Bible we have to learn the Bible. This section contains some Bible resources and some links to supplemental information about the Bible.
See the Following Jesus: Focus On The Message Class web page.
Following Jesus
This Bible Study is an expression of our 7-component discipleship curriculum: Following Jesus. It draws specifically from the first component: Focus on the Message.
Sessions
In this section you’ll find each of the Bible Study sessions that we’ve conducted listed in chronological order. As we mentioned above, the sessions are based largely on the Bible Study from Following Jesus: Focus on the Message. The “Additional resources to check out” section of each session includes a link to the related section of Focus on the Message.

- Review Christianity, Following Jesus, and our current process/activity
-
- The early church used stories about Jesus to train new believers.
- These stories were eventually assembled into the Four Gospels that are currently in our New Testament.
- We need to train new believers by working through at least one Gospel. We have chosen the Gospel of Matthew for this purpose.
-
- Jesus’ process: Follow me, baptism, access to your network. – Peter, Matthew
- We’re only a third of the way through the gospel of Matthew and Jesus is already sending the apostles out to proclaim the Kingdom even though they still have a lot to learn.
- We must be prepared to send our disciples out of the nest at this point in their training because there are other things they won’t be able to learn until they have this experience of being sent out.
