Personal Transformation with Group Accountability

Discovery Groups have four very important “dna” identifiers.

1. What does the Bible say?
2. What is the Holy Spirit saying to me about this text?
3. What can I do differently this week to line my life up with God’s Word to me?
4. Who can I tell?

If each individual in a group will commit to following these four “dna” questions, their lives will start to change. They will become known as spiritual people. This is attractive to those who are being saved. If you google “Discovery Bible Studies” you will get some variations of the model. Pray and practice until you find what will work for your specific people.

Personal Transformation through a Personal Quiet Time

The Examen is a prayer model where you reflect on your day with God, giving thanks and asking forgiveness as appropriate. Then you reflect on tomorrow, and prayer about changes you want to make in your life to be more like Christ. Click here to see this model.

Growing in Christian Maturity

We learn to distinguish good and evil by studying more deeper Bible studies by practicing how to obey Jesus. We practice obedience, reflect on our experience, talk about it with like-minded friends, and practice some more. This is the path to Christian maturity.

Spiritually mature Christians are “able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself [these Christians] is [are] subject to weakness (Hebrews 5:2).

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil (Hebrews 5:14).
