Leading Home Group Evangelism

Doug Patch

2 Timothy 2:2

In this XSI teaching the teacher explains principles to leading home church evangelism. Evangelism is a lifestyle and not a hobby and it is done by all members. The leaders need to invest in the Christians in order to help them evangelize. It is a priority to win consensus of God's perspective of the mission of the church; to disciple and to reach the lost. This can take time and isn't automatic. God causes the growth and the leaders need to stay engaged in leading their groups through the six principles taught in this teaching.

Praying for your Home Group

Joel Comiskey

2 Timothy 2:2

Successful home groups are the result of diligence, which shows itself through prayer, evangelism, and community. Explore the different forms that diligence can take in several church examples and the ways that it will consistently be the same.

Making the Transition, Traditional to Home Group-Centered Ministry

Gilbert Lennox

2 Timothy 2:2

Transitions from traditional to group-centered ministry are gradual and intentional. Looking at a church who has attempted this kind of environment several times, consider the steps that a church needs to take in order to create a revolution like this. Some of the steps include support, vision, leadership training, and fighting disappointment.

Facing the Brutal Facts and Mobilizing the Church

Dennis McCallum

Nehemiah 1:3-15

Motivating church growth through evangelism involves: facing the problem, defining it for your people creating discrepancies, and raising the appropriate level of tension. These lessons are learned from Nehemiah as he faced the ruin of the wall and sought to rebuild it. Examples are given of how Xenos has gone from a lack of growth in evangelism to seeing substantial growth. Bad news has to be faced and vision needs given for where the church should be. People are motivated when they see discrepancy and experience discontent with the present.\r\n

John Cleary

1 Timothy 3:1

The Bible says leading churches is a good thing to aspire to, but how can we help leaders? Coaching and overseeing home group leadership is essential to have healthy, growing home churches. It is important to learn how to help them individually, to help them understand their role in the church, and to help streamline their job for them. John Cleary explains how you can help and what is important to remember while coaching leaders; including the essentials of a healthy home church. The 5 essentials of a healthy home church are: 1) having a foundation of a faithful God, 2) growing other leaders, 3) discipleship, 4) community, and 5) evangelism.

Focus of Faith (Part 2)

Jim Leffel

Hebrews 13:17

A life of faith is fundamentally a life of trust in God, rather than the opposing values of materialism. It also means a trust in and imitation of legitimate spiritual leaders: those who are faithful to God's Word, have godly character, and who are accountable.

Coaching and overseeing Home Group Leaders

Gary DeLashmutt

Part of home church leadership includes cultivating an environment for God's people to spiritually thrive. Leaders must champion God's transformational power in these areas: outreach; community; equipping; biblical depth; corporate prayer; financial stewardship; and missions.

Home Group Ministry (Part 2)

Gary DeLashmutt

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

To be a good home church leader you must be able to cultivate an ethos that God desires for your group.
