WE ARE LEARNERS. WE GROW. HOW DO WE TEACH & LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER? WHO IS GOD? The Great Teacher (Rabbi) WHAT HAS HE DONE? Gave His Word, Son & Spirit to teach us WHO ARE WE? Learners (Disciples) 3 HOW DO WE LIVE? We take responsibility for our growth & others 2 Timothy 2:1-2 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men and women who will be able to teach others also. Why D.N.A. Groups? (We Are All Followers of Something or Someone) A disciple is simply a follower; one who learns from and emulates another. As a young man, Jesus grew in both height and wisdom. He learned from the Spirit, living in community, and through regular times of listening to God. Jesus called others to follow his ways, to be his disciples and live in obedience to all that God commands. He then sent these followers out to make new disciples. We believe we are also called to be followers of Jesus who take responsibility for our own development and the development of others. This includes being personally formed by the truth of the gospel and regularly speaking the gospel to others so they can be rescued from sin and selfishness, and grow up into maturity in Jesus Christ. DNA groups are a great tool for doing this! Watch the Soma video - “Session 3: The Role of DNA Groups” Discussion Questions: I. What might be stifling personal growth in your life? II. If God is a God of community (existing eternally in Three Persons, creating man and woman, calling us into a family, etc.), why do we often take an individual approach to spiritual growth? In Action: I. If you’re not in a DNA, join or create one. Help others in your MC get in a DNA. II. Be intentional - don’t just hang out. Start by reading a book in the Bible and ask the four questions: Who is God? What has He done? Who are we? How do we live?
