One of the really cool tools on your smartphone is the You Version Bible App.  It's a great resource for reading the Bible but also offers some really helpful reading plans and devotional plans which you can use to grow.  One really helpful aspect of many plans is the ability to read through them with others and to interact with one another and the content of the plan.  

Come, Let's Go! Discipleship and Evangelism is a new plan that was recently created by the folks at Zume.  This is a seven day reading plan. Each day has a short devotional reading which includes a short teaching video from Zume.  Then there are a number of Bible passages to read. Finally, there is an opportunity to talk it over, answering the question, 

"Based on today's reading, what is one thing God is saying to you?" 

(If you do not have the You Version Bible app you can get it at your app store on your phone or learn more here: www.youversion.com/the-bible-app)

Starting tomorrow, anyone who would like to join from the E2E community will begin reading through and interacting with this study.  You can sign up now, but we'll start reading tomorrow, October 2nd. 

Here's How It Will Work
  1. Follow the link below and sign up for the reading plan.
  2. Each day (starting tomorrow - you'll be reminded) read through the plan and watch each day's video.
  3. Talk it over by sharing what the Lord is teaching you through the readings and video that day.
  4. Take time to read what others are hearing from the Lord and to pray for them.
Please consider joining us as we learn and grow and obey together.

At every E2E and gospel conversation training that we do, we always start with the Father's heart.  If we can help the church dive into scripture to discover God's heart and desires for our world, we have a great place to begin training disciples who will make disciples.  

We've turned that beginning session into a worksheet so that groups of Christ followers can discover together the  Father's Heart and we want to share that today.  

Gather a group of friends.  Set aside an hour and work through this discovery study.  And then begin to pray and dream into the final question.

You can work through the study below or download the worksheet HERE.

Assignment: Together with a group of friends, read each passage below and write a simple summary of what the passage reveals about God’s heart and desire for our world.


Passages
  • Genesis 12:1-3 (focus on 3b)
  • Exodus 9:16
  • Isaiah 49:6
  • Psalms 67:1-7
  • Psalms 86:9
  • Habakkuk 2:14
  • Malachi 1:11
  • Galatians 3:8
  • Matthew 24:14
  • John 17:13-19
  • Luke 15:1-10
  • 1 Timothy 2:3-4
  • Revelation 5:9
  • Revelation 7:9
  • Revelation 22:1-5
  • 2 Peter 3:9
  • Matthew 28:18-20
  • Acts 1:8
  • 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

Finally, work through these two questions together.
  • Looking at all of these verses, what are the basic desires of God for our world?
  • Jesus teaches his disciples to pray in Matthew 6:9-13.  In verse 10 Jesus says to pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”  In light of all the verses above, what do you think it would look like if God’s kingdom came and His will were done completely in your context?

I've been investing some time this summer working my way through the #NOPLACELEFT  Strategy Coordinator Training that Steve Smith lead in 2016.  

Trainers include Steve Smith,  Stan Parks,  Chuck and Deb Wood,  Fred Campbell,  and Ray and Sara Vaughn.  It was held in Houston over seven very full days.  There are four sections of teaching with forty three sessions. 

This is a training that I wish I could attend in person, but for now I am blessed to learn from movement practitioners and to watch them model how to effectively train groups of people through videos.  

I've learned so much and if you are asking the question, "What is it going to take to reach my entire city, region or people group?" then this training will be super beneficial.  

You can begin going through the training videos for FREE HERE.

You can find future trainings that are similar HERE.

And you can watch Steve Smith's introductory session to the training below.
