The Core: Discipleship, Character and Skill
![The Core](http://www.experiencetherock.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/1920x1080-Intro-1060x596.jpg)
Discipleship — Difficult Discipleship by Pastor Bryan Edwards (starts at 0:00) Discipleship is simple, but it can also be extremely difficult. If you have ever opened up your life to others, then you’ve no doubt experienced the trials and discouragement that come along with it. Within discipleship there will often be difficulties because discipleship involves people. As disciple makers, we need to be aware of the reasons we may want to avoid it. We also need to remind ourselves of the good work God has called us to. Discussion Question: From the list of “Bad reasons to not make disciples”, which one do you find yourself using the most? Explain your reasoning.
Character — Forgiveness by Pastor Bill Young (starts at 15:39) Forgiveness always sounds good — at least in theory. We are told in Colossians 3:13 to, “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” But, how do we do that? What happens when I get hurt by someone and have difficulty forgiving them? How can I practically forgive them? We will learn five steps to forgiving others. Discussion Question: For you, what is the hardest part of forgiving someone who has greatly sinned against you? Why is it so difficult and why should you forgive them anyway?
Skill — Small Group Formats by Pastor Tony D’Amico (starts at 37:48) Each Small Group is unique. With some planning, you can structure the time for each meeting. This will not only help with expectations, but will set a standard of excellence by making the best use of time. Planning is a much-needed Skill to effectively lead Small Groups. Here are four things you can do to start planning. Discussion Question: What is one area where you feel you can create a better experience for your Small Group? Either as a leader or an attendee?
From Series: "The Core"
At The Rock Church, part of our Mission Statement is to Build the Believer. We want to find long-lasting ways to do that and believe our newly developed Core Meeting is just that! These times are a monthly, co-ed discipleship meeting with worship, teaching, empowering, envisioning and fellowship — all with the leaders and aspiring leaders of our church.
