The God Who Is There - a discipleship course for small groups
The God Who is There takes its inspiration
from Rooted in Jesus, ReSource’s acclaimed
practical discipleship course for Africa, and is a response to the
increasingly voiced need for simple, interactive and relational
discipleship material for use in this country. Like the original, The
God Who is There is based on the conviction that discipleship
is not so much about ‘what we know’ as about ‘who we are becoming’, and
is designed to help people get to know God in and through one another,
so that faith becomes part of their daily lives. The series is in three
parts: Beyond Ourselves, The New Community
and Shining Like Stars (see below). These may be
used consecutively or independently.
To find out more about The God Who Is There
click here.
Beyond Ourselves - a course which explores the wider meaning of our livesDesigned to be accessible to those with no church background, Beyond Ourselves invites participants, Christian and not yet Christian, to discover together what it means to develop a living relationship with God. Topics covered include creation, suffering, life after death, the life and resurrection of Jesus and the gift of the Holy Spirit. “We have been blessed using this course with a very enthusiastic group. We have seen several people’s faith brought to life by studying God’s Word and encountering the Holy Spirit; we’ve seen a couple of people come to faith in Christ. The group is keen to stay together and keep going after Easter” – Revd Martin Cannam, BiddulphTo find out more about Beyond Ourselves click here.

The New Community – finding God when we meet together
The New Community is modelled on the
discipleship patterns of the New Testament, where we see that being a
disciple of Jesus is not an individual but a shared activity. This
unique course enables participants to discover what it means to be part
of a group of people who are seeking God in and through their
relationships with one another. The course includes worship,
facilitated through a specially commissioned CD by Phil Lawson
Johnston.
“It started where they were. The material
engaged them emotionally and
experientially as much as at the knowledge level. This was really
valuable. The biblical, creative and interactive exercises promoted
enjoyable participation from people at different stages of their
Christian faith” – Revd Stephen Coe, Holy Trinity, Wallington

a watching world” – Robert Lewis

Praying for MissionPraying for Mission - Since
the earliest
days, Christians have met together daily for reflection upon the
Scriptures, to recite the Psalms and to pray the prayer of the Kingdom,
the Lord's Prayer. This is the daily office of the Church and
represents the offering of common prayer by the whole priestly people
of God. This new ReSource office booklet, extracted from "Celebrating
Common Prayer", is a gathering of those prayers to focus on God's work
of mission in His world. |

Fasting - the forgotten gift, the neglected disciplineKeith Powell Keith writes: 'As a

find rest for our souls. May this book encourage you on the ancient
path of prayer and fasting, one that will bless you and bring you
closer to your Father in Heaven.' Keith is an Associate of ReSource and

Transforming Renewal - a Global PerspectiveDon Brewin Renewal has reached a crisis – and we have to choose how we react.
