Being Disciples – Steve Jones

Steve Jones gave this talk one Sunday morning in 2014, as part of a series called One Body, Many Parts. He talks about how discipleship in the church needs to involve strong relationships and good levels of challenging one another.

Building A Discipling Culture – Mike Breen

The truth of the matter is that we don’t have a missional problem or leadership problem in the Western Church. We have a discipleship problem. If we make disciples like Jesus made them, we’ll never have a problem finding leaders or seeing new people come to faith. – Mike Breen

Mike Breen and the 3DM team have put together this book on discipling people in the context of mission, and looking to Jesus as a great example of how to disciple others.

The values set out in this book reflect a lot of what we as a church would like to see in our discipleship. If you are leading in any way, whether as a personal pastor, in youth ministry, or a Missional Community, this book is highly recommended.

We have copies of the new paperback edition of this title at OCC to borrow, and also brand new copies to buy. Contact the church office for details.

Freedom

This series of resources for a small group to disciple its members was written in October 2011 in response to a growing sense within Oxford Community Church that there was a need for greater freedom in our faith. They remain a good and useful resource for personal and group discipleship.

The six areas covered by these notes are:

• Freedom from stress
• Freedom from sin
• Freedom from sickness
• Freedom to worship
• Freedom from fear
• Freedom to witness

These notes were designed to be used by someone leading a series of meetings, but can be adapted for use in pastoral relationships, accountability groups, or for the individual.
