Daily Discipleship Guide

PREVIEW GUIDE

Letter from THE Team Leader

I’ll admit it. I’m excited about the Daily Discipleship Guide. Two essential truths are driving my enthusiasm: 1. Bible Studies for Life is all about discipleship.

2. Discipleship doesn’t just happen one day a week. Discipleship is a daily process of growth in Christ.

The Daily Discipleship Guide drives my devotions—my time alone with God—and helps me dig further and apply deeper the truth of God’s Word.

2

As its name suggests, Bible Studies for Life’s new Daily Discipleship Guide hits home with both those truths. It’s daily. It’s discipleship.

The Daily Discipleship Guide begins with the group. As a part of the Bible Studies for Life family, it is designed to help people in groups connect God’s Word to their lives in an intentional way. My group has an active, vibrant discussion about the passage we’re studying. Together we discover the timeless truths in the passage, and we see ways it connects to our lives.

But it doesn’t stop there.

For the next five days, the Daily Discipleship Guide drives my devotions—my time alone with God— and helps me dig further and apply deeper the truth of God’s Word. I need this. As much as I enjoy the discussion with my group, it isn’t enough. My growth in Christ is driven further as I look at the study’s point and key truth from a slightly different angle each day.

The Daily Discipleship Guide encourages one other practice to benefit my discipleship. I’ve heard it called D-groups and triads, but whatever you call it, it is the idea of getting together with 2-3 other people and challenging each other with the truths of the passage. The weekly “Talk It Out” section guides that time together.

I have folks who can’t be in the group every week, but they can still know what we did in the group time. They can simply look at the leader pages in the back of the book! I also want to use those leader pages to train new group leaders. I want them to see how I prepare, to see the same content and ideas I see. As they watch me lead, they gain an awareness of how they, too, can lead a group.

As I said, I am thoroughly excited about the potential of the Daily Discipleship Guide, both in my personal life and those God has placed before me to lead. I think you’ll see that potential, too, as you turn the page.

In Christ,

Lynn H. Pryor Team Leader, Bible Studies for Life lynn.pryor@lifeway.com

REALITY CHECK

Because life doesn’t just happen on the day your group meets.

In fall 2018, we’re adding the Daily Discipleship Guide to the Bible Studies for Life family.

This new option makes it easier to apply God’s Word to your life all week long. Your group may prefer this resource over the Personal Study Guide/Leader Guide model for a number of reasons:

Aligns Daily Bible Study with the Group Experience Instead of studying beforehand, you attend the group and then build upon what you learned using five daily devotionals.

Guest Friendly Everyone who comes to the group starts on the same page. So guests, and even participants who’ve been absent for a while, won’t feel like they’ve missed anything because they didn’t study before the meeting.

Easier to Train New Leaders The leader material is in the back of the Guide—so leaders in training can just follow along with you without needing a different book.

Great for Discipleship Groups Group members that meet in smaller groups for deeper discipleship will love the Talk It Out section. This gives them more questions to discuss about that week’s study.

Works with Phones or Tablets An eBook version is also available, for those who prefer a paperless approach to Bible study.

What makes a house feel like a home to you?

The Bible Meets Life If you’re like me, you could practically get home with your eyes closed. You know the trip by heart: the bumps in the road, the places to turn, and even the way the sun shines through the trees. So imagine one day you take this same road. You come to your house, but when you get inside everything is different. The pictures on the wall have been replaced. The furniture is arranged the wrong way. Even the smell is different.

1

Many people feel the same way when they enter the church building. They’ve heard Jesus is a friend of sinners and God loves the world. They’ve been led to believe the people in church are friendly. And yet when they enter the building, they find something entirely inconsistent with those facts. We might think we are welcoming, and yet the reality can be entirely different. To ensure we’re a welcoming church, let’s go back to the beginning. We welcome others because of the gospel.

THE POINT: Our lives should serve as a ___________ _______ into the church.

Titus 3:3-8a For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another. 4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared, 5 he saved us—not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy— through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit. 6 He poured out his Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

8a This saying is trustworthy.

3

Titus 3:8b I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.

Ministry is grounded in the ____________ of Christ.

2 3

The gospel keeps us from looking down on others (v. 3). Paul reminded Titus that he—and all believers—was once just like the people Titus was seeking to welcome into the faith. Before Christ, we were lost, hopeless, and living for nothing else than to fulfill our next desire.

1. Group Time The group member’s experience begins with the group time.

No pre-meeting study is required.

The gospel reminds us what is possible (vv. 4-5). Paul reminded Titus that all of us, if we’re Christians, have a moment of awakening to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul called this “regeneration,” and it’s the moment when we become new creations in Christ. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17.)

2. The Point Each session revolves around one central idea.

The gospel points us to the future (vv. 6-7). Thanks to the gospel, we all have a sure hope in the future. We’re destined for eternal life with Jesus.

2 of Christ.

Ministry is a ____________ to the gospel True, faithful, joy-filled, and sustained ministry to others flows out of the gospel of Jesus.

That’s because what God has done in us through Jesus always works itself out in good 4 works. Because of the gospel of Jesus, Titus could devote himself to ministering to others.

8b

Titus 3:9-11 But avoid foolish debates, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law, because they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning. 11 For you know that such a person has gone astray and is sinning; he is self-condemned.

9

Titus was on his own. He had traveled with Paul, seen the power of the gospel to change people’s lives, and even carried a letter from Paul to the church at Corinth. He had been a trusted companion of the greatest missionary the world has ever known, but now he was by himself.

Ministry has no room for ______________or _________________.

Having spent time in Crete himself, Paul knew the specific issues that might distract Titus from his overall mission. Paul told Titus to avoid these issues, and he mentioned “foolish debates, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law” (v. 9) in particular. All of the issues Paul mentioned were, at their core, issues of personal preference and self-centeredness. But these issues were not only limited to the island of Crete. We’re all tempted to lose our focus and fixate on issues of personal preference.

3. Interactive The group time is interactive, encouraging the group member to engage deeply with the passage.

4. Activity Each session includes an activity that engages thinking on a different level.

4

Please, Come In What would you like your words and actions to communicate to others about the gospel?

Paul had left Titus on the island of Crete to organize and carry out the beginning of the church there. Surely with an assignment like that—in a place that was foreign to both the gospel and Judaism—Titus had many questions about his role. Paul addressed several issues in his letter to Titus. But along with answers to practical ministry questions, Paul also reminded Titus of something that was already very familiar to him: the gospel.

1 THE POINT

1

Our lives should serve as a welcome mat into the church.

DAILY STUDY

LIVE IT OUT Our daily behavior and language should welcome others into the church. This posture comes naturally when we focus on the gospel.

This week, conduct a reality check to see if you regularly extend a genuine welcome and seize opportunities to lie out a welcome mat.

Evaluate. Is there a foolish debate, quarrel, or dispute you’ve allowed to distract you from the gospel lately?

Humbly confess this to God and ask His forgiveness.

Take action. Identify a “good work” you can devote yourself to this week that would allow your life to serve as a welcome mat for your church.

Extend an invitation. Make an effort to notice and speak to guests at church for the next three weeks. If a guest isn’t meeting someone, invite him or her to sit with you. Ask God to deepen your awareness of newcomers as you strive to make this a weekly habit.

TALK IT OUT

2

1. Live It Out Session concludes with three suggestions for application. One is relatively easy; ideal for those new to the faith or new to the group. The other two call for progressively more commitment.

3

Day 1: The gospel is our starting point for life and ministry.

Read Titus 3:3-7.

Titus found himself in a new assignment. While he had previously traveled and ministered with Paul, he was now left to organize and launch the beginnings of the church on the 2 unknown to the people there. island of Crete. In addition, Judaism and the gospel were If Titus wanted to create a sustained and empowered work for God on this island, he needed to remember the why before he started doing the what. The same 4 is true for us. If any ministry we seek to do for God isn’t grounded in the why of the gospel, it will eventually run out of steam. So, if we want to welcome others into the church, we must remember that at one point, we ourselves were on the outside looking in. And if God hadn’t rolled out the welcome mat with the life of His own Son, Jesus, that’s exactly where we would have stayed.

How does your own story relate to the redemptive message found in verses 4-5? Pause in prayer to thank God for what He has done for you personally.

Want to go a step further? Gather with two or three Christ-followers of the same gender. Read Titus 3:3-11, then use the following summary and questions for a deeper discussion.

Almost all churches start out well; they’re focused on leading people to Christ, serving them, and helping them grow in Christ. Unfortunately, if we’re not careful, the church can gradually drift from being Christcentered to becoming inwardly focused. Doctrine may not have changed, but how to live out the gospel can. It’s wise to periodically do a self-check—as individuals and churches—to ensure we remain a welcoming church focused on the gospel.

What do you find challenging about welcoming others?

How would you describe the relationship between good works and salvation?

When you consider your small group, are there any issues causing disunity or a clear disruption? What steps can be taken to move past these issues?

SESSION 1

2. Talk It Out Discipleship continues as group members gather during the week with 2 or 3 people to encourage and challenge each other in their growth and discipleship.

3. Daily Study Group members continue to engage with the study with five days of devotions.

Discipleship occurs on a daily basis as they dig further on the passage. Each day includes ideas for personal reflection and action.

"But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared, he saved us … according to his mercy."

to appoint elders in every town. (See Titus 1:5.) Paul wrote his letter to Titus around AD 63.

READ: Ask a group member to read aloud Titus 3:3-8a.

RECAP (PAGES 8-9): Titus was on his own. He had traveled with Paul, seen the power of the gospel to change people’s lives, and even carried a letter from Paul to the church at Corinth. He had been a trusted companion of the greatest missionary the world has ever known, but now he was by himself.

REALITY CHECK Getting Started

ACTIVITY (OPTIONAL): To create a warm welcoming atmosphere, have snacks and drinks available for group members to enjoy as they arrive. Additionally, post the phrase “Welcome” so that it’s visible to everyone entering your meeting space. Position yourself near the door and make a point to greet and speak to as many participants as you can once they arrive.

DISCUSS: What makes a house feel like a home to you? (Have reluctant talkers? Invite group members to turn to someone and ask: “What makes a house feel like home?” Encourage them to ask at least two or three people. Then invite participants to share the responses they heard. Sharing someone else’s response often helps hesitant talkers to do so more easily.)

You’ve made the trip so many times you know it by heart: the bumps in the road, the places to turn, and even the way the sun shines through the trees. So imagine one day you take this same road.

Study the Bible GIVE BIBLICAL CONTEXT: After the apostle Paul was released from his first imprisonment in Rome (AD 60-62), he continued his missionary work, taking his Gentile co-worker, Titus, along with him. One of the areas they evangelized was the island of Crete. When the apostle moved on, he left Titus behind

SESSION 1

DISCUSS: What are the different elements of the gospel present in these verses?

2

DIG DEEPER: Use the following commentary in your discussion2of verses 3-8a.

4

[VERSE 4]: Against this seemingly hopeless backdrop, the gospel of Christ shines as a brilliant light.

God displayed His kindness (compassion, benevolence) and love for humanity 4 by acting as our Savior (deliverer). God’s kindness and love appeared when He broke into history through the incarnation, showing His goodness and love for humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

[VERSE 5]: God saved us through Christ by satisfying His holy wrath against mankind’s sin. In Christ, God accomplished for us what we could never do for ourselves. This was done “not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy.” Our salvation is based solely on what Jesus has done for us. It’s God’s gift and demonstrates His mercy.

When a person repents and places his or her faith in Christ, he or she is redeemed “through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” This is an internal, spiritual work of the Holy Spirit. “Washing of regeneration” communicates the reality that when sinners repent and place their faith in Christ, their sins are cleansed and they’re spiritually reborn. Paul described this rebirth as a “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Renewal is the transforming of the believer’s character into the image of Christ.

1. Group Plan Step-by-step instructions with clear directives walk the leader through the process of facilitating a group study and discussion.

2. Discuss Group experience is built around five discussion-generating questions.

3. Leader Pack The supplemental Leader Pack (available as a separate purchase) is referenced. The Pack includes both visual posters and teaching aids to enhance the group experience.

4 . Dig Deeper Commentary gives the leader a deeper understanding of the people, places, background, and interpretation of the passage.

[VERSES 6-7]: God has graciously “poured out” His Holy Spirit abundantly on those who place their faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. When a person places his or her faith in Christ, that individual is justified. Justification is a legal term. It occurs at the moment of salvation, when the believer’s sins are placed on Christ (see Colossians 2:13-14) and he or she receives the perfect righteousness of Christ. Through justification, the believer has peace with God and is permanently reconciled to God. (See Romans 5:6-11.) This is accomplished solely by the grace of God. (See Ephesians 2:4-9.) At the moment of salvation, believers are freed from their slavery to sin and Satan. They’re adopted as children of God and become His heirs. (See Romans 8:14-17; Ephesians 1:5.)

1 GUIDE: Direct your group’s attention to the following heading: Ministry is grounded in the GOSPEL of Christ.

RECAP (PAGE 9): We don’t have to wonder why Paul pointed Titus’ attention to the gospel. Jesus’ death and resurrection shape the foundation for Christian ministry.

The gospel keeps us from looking down on others (v. 3). Paul reminded Titus that he—and all believers—was once just like the people Titus was seeking to welcome into the faith. We all were once lost, hopeless, and living for nothing else than to fulfill our next desire.

The gospel reminds us what is possible (vv. 4-5). Paul reminded Titus that all of us, if we’re Christians, had a moment of awakening to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul called this “regeneration,” and it’s the moment when we become new creations in Christ.

(See 2 Corinthians 5:17.)

The gospel points us to the future (vv. 6-7). Thanks to the gospel, we all have a sure hope in the future. We’re destined for eternal life with Jesus.

READ: Ask a group member to read aloud Titus 3:8b.

GUIDE: Direct your group’s attention to the heading: Ministry is a RESPONSE to the gospel of Christ.

RECAP (PAGE 9): True, faithful, joy-filled, and sustained ministry to others flows out of the gospel of Jesus. That’s because what God has done in us through Jesus always works itself out in good works.

Because of the gospel of Jesus, Titus could devote himself to ministering to others.

DIG DEEPER: Use the following commentary in your discussion of verse 8.

[VERSE 8]: What God has done for us compels us to live differently from how we lived before we came to Christ. Whereas in the previous verses Paul had mainly been addressing justification, in the following verses he now turned his attention to the believer’s sanctification. While justification is a one time event that occurs at the moment the believer places his or her faith in Christ, sanctification is the life-long process through which the believer is gradually transformed more and more into the image of Christ. “These things” refers to Paul’s description of salvation in the previous verses. Paul had laid out in detail what God has done for humankind. “Those who have believed God” are those who have come to faith in Christ and become children of God. Because of what God has done for them in Christ, believers, in both gratitude and obedience, are to devote themselves to good works.

In the previous verses, Paul had primarily detailed what God had done for believers through Jesus Christ. However, having a correct theological understanding of the process of salvation by itself isn’t enough. As the apostle James warned in his letter, “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26).

A person is saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. However, the internal transformation that occurs in the believer by the work of the Holy Spirit will be accompanied/demonstrated by an

outward change in the person’s behavior (what Paul here calls good works), which is also the work of the same Holy Spirit.

DISCUSS: What are some examples of good works you’ve seen or experienced?

1. Guide The leader is provided answers to any blanks on the “Group Time” pages.

READ: Ask a group member to read aloud Titus 3:9-11.

GUIDE: Direct your group’s attention to the heading: Ministry has no room for PERSONAL PREFERENCES or SELF-CENTEREDNESS. RECAP (PAGE 9): Having spent time in Crete, Paul knew the specific issues that might distract Titus from his mission. Paul told Titus to avoid these issues, and he mentioned “foolish debates, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law” (v. 9) in particular. All of the issues Paul mentioned were, at their core, issues of personal preference and self-centeredness. But these issues weren’t only limited to the island of Crete. We’re all tempted to lose our focus and fixate on issues of personal preference.

DIG DEEPER: Use the following commentary to continue your discussion of verses 9-10.

2 [VERSE 9]: One of the things Paul emphasized to Titus was that in the ministry of the church, there is no place for personal preferences or self-centeredness. In contrast4to the good works, Paul listed behaviors which are inappropriate and to be avoided by believers. Foolish debates were the rituals of the Greek philosophers as they spent their time on unsolvable problems. Paul used the same language when he warned Timothy to avoid foolish disputes because they cause needless arguments. (See 2 Timothy 2:23.) Genealogies were the pastime of Jewish rabbis as they speculated about genealogies from Old Testament characters. Elsewhere, Paul cautioned Timothy to avoid “myths and endless genealogies” (1 Timothy 1:4). Quarrels can take the form of disputes, altercations, or disagreements that are marked by a temporary or permanent break in friendship.

Disputes about the law were the practice of the Jewish scribes as they debated what one could and couldn’t do and what was clean or unclean. The law is a reference to the Mosaic Law. Why are such issues to be avoided? They are unprofitable and worthless. Often, endless discussions are an evasion of Christian practice. These unprofitable activities stand in contrast to good works, which are profitable. (See Titus 3:8.) True Christian fellowship is grounded in unity and love for one another. These activities yield only arguments and division, which hinder the spread of the gospel.

DISCUSS: How can we appropriately respond to debates, quarrels, and disputes that can cause discord in the church?

SAY: “In today’s passage, Paul encouraged Titus to remain focused on the gospel and allow ministry to flow from it. That wisdom still applies to us today. When we encounter those who are new to the truth of God and His church, we can sincerely communicate ‘You’re welcome. We’re glad you’re here.’”

Call on volunteers to share (1) which is these statements is something they want to pursue further, or (2) ways this study will transform their prayer life this week.

Evaluate. Is there a foolish debate, quarrel, or dispute you’ve allowed to distract you from the gospel lately? Humbly confess this to God and ask His forgiveness.

Take action. Identify a “good work” you can devote yourself to this week that would allow your life to serve as a welcome mat for your church.

Extend an invitation. Make an effort to notice and speak to guests at church for the next three weeks. If a guest isn’t meeting someone, invite him or her to sit with you. Ask God to deepen your awareness of newcomers as you strive to make this a weekly habit.

GUIDE: Invite each person to gather with two or three Christ-followers of the same gender this week for a deeper discussion, using Talk It Out (page 10) to guide their discussion. Encourage group members to spend time each day in God’s Word with the devotions found in the Daily Study section (pages 11-14).

PRAY: Close with a prayer of gratitude for the grace God has offered to His people. Ask God to make visible opportunities we have to welcome others into the church.

“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of god. the world is crowded with him.”
