Holiness

• Often focussed on us – personal morality• Biblical view is more ‘wholistic’• God’s oneness – all creation under Him• Shalom = completeness, wholeness• Holiness = bringing all areas of our lives

under the control and purpose of Jesus• Not about moralism - about surrender!

Discipleship Group

• Small group of friends• Usually two, three or four people• Same sex ie group of men or of women• Commit to meet every week• For a minimum of one hour• Encourage each other as disciples of

Jesus

Typical Meeting Agenda

• Confession of sin to one another• Bible reading• Discerning the word together• Prayer• Encourage deliberate discipleship• Integral part of daily lives and routines• Emphasise service in community

Discipleship groups can be a catalyst

for change

“You can’t see the wood for the trees”

Get away from talking about going

to church and realise that we are

the church!
