Call, The by Lifeway Adults

The Call Bible Study Book is an intentional 6-session disciple-making study that answers the question Who am I as a disciple of Christ? More than a Bible study on identity, The Call is a disciple-making resource that emphasizes practice and mentoring for group settings of multiple sizes to take disciples on a journey into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Like all the releases in the Disciples Path series, The Call uses teaching, questions, conversation, exercises, and individual study to facilitate transformational discipleship. It begins by exploring the question Who is Jesus? Then it takes group members through the priorities of a disciple, the cost of a disciple, and the fruit of a disciple. Far too often we neglect to teach the trust cost of discipleship. It could end up costing everything, but true discipleship is worth that and even more.

The sessions include:
1. Who Is Jesus?
2. What Did Jesus Do?
3. Following Jesus
4. The Priorities of a Disciple
5. The Cost of a Disciple
6. The Fruit of a Disciple

The study includes an introduction to the weekly session topic, guided prayer options, and Scripture focus with text and narrative explanation that drives the weekly meeting. Also included each week are discussion questions and group exercises that reinforce the primary teaching points of each topic. Individual study and out-of-group activities have all been crafted to help users take their next step as disciples of Christ. These optional activities include but are not limited to reading plans, prayer exercises, personal study, and journaling.

Features:

• Bible study format, content, and activities created and written by practicing disciple-makers
• Individual exercises to provide opportunities to practice discipleship
