Dr. Robby Gallaty Discipleship Analysis

Decent Essays
Discipleship is a word that a lot of churches throw around but rarely carry out a process to which a person can be brought from conversion to maturity. Dr. Robby Gallaty, the pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church, claims that the one essential element of discipleship is replication/reproduction. He goes on to state in one of his sermons that Discipleship is the twenty-first-century reformation. The three main resources it takes for discipleship are manpower, money, and mandate. If you are going to succeed in discipleship Dr. Gallaty gives three main groups that you must work on. The first is your corporate gathering and this is where all the believers come together as one and worship God.

    Week Three Devotional God is in the people business and the command is simple; go, baptize, and teach. Why? Because Jesus, being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, said so. The slave is not greater than the Master and as His bond servants, our obedience is not optional but is a requirement. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17 KJV). It seems that as we get older we become our hearing diminishes.…

    The video, Doing the Right Thing group Bible study by Charles Colson, Brit Hume, reminded me how morally and spiritually bankrupt our society has become. Greed and corruption run rampant among our business, schools, government, homes, and sadly, even our schools. Pride and greed tend to work together in the lives of many people, leading to divorce, neglect, addictions, theft, and many other immoral actions. Chuck Colson gave an excellent explanation of self-righteousness when he stated, “self-righteousness is the belief that you are so good that you can’t be compromised” (Colson, 2012).…

    Jesus’ commands us in Matthew 28:19 to “go and make disciples of all nations”. Dr. Allen McWhite successfully portrayed what Christ envisioned when He left the disciples with this final command. We live in a culture where everyone is committed to making their own souls content. We are not called to a life filled with our own selfish desires. As Dr. Allen McWhite says, “we are called to be Godly people in a God-less world”.…

    When asked what are his goals for his youth ministry my old youth pastor, Mr. Beardsley, told me, “I want students to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Simply knowing about him is not enough, I want them to know him! To experience his presence and voice in their own lives and to recognize that they have a story to tell, a story that is a part of God’s story for mankind. As far as knowledge goes, I just want them to have an intimate knowledge of who he is, what he has done and how he calls them to live. There is a lot that goes into this knowledge, but that is really dependent on where they are at and how committed they are to learning.…

    Charles (2010) a person has to commit himself to some local assembly of believers, so that he can submit to the accountability and responsibility that will help him to persevere in faith; he again summarized what Cyprian said, “Outside the church there is no salvation.” The Bible says we should exhort one another by teaching, encouragement and building each other with the word of God. Because we are going to live together with Christ, we have to live together with one another corporately now. We have to fellowship with others (1 Thess. 5:11), so we have to understand first the meaning of fellowship: fellowship is a bond where Christians have a common purpose and devotion that binds them to one another. John Piper (2017) says: “Fellowship is a mutual bond that Christians have with Christ that puts us in a deep, eternal relationship with one another.”…

    Christians are called to become more effective in all these areas, but the Lord has given these gifts more to others. It is the Church’s responsibility to bring the people who have these gifts to help teach and develop these gifts in others. Some with the gift of prophesy need to come along those that are weaker in this area and help them along to become more Christ like. Vice versa with the one who is a prophet will need help with a gift of the person that they had helped. Pastor John breaks down these categories of people into: shepherd-these are the ones who take care of the peoples’ needs, teacher- these are the people in the Word studying and preaching the Truth, evangelist- are…

    One of the footers in foundation of my ministry which supports the philosophy by which I approach the churched and non-churched can be found in Matthew 9:10-13. It is both the intentional formulation of the opportunity in which Jesus frames this footing and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer to which we must also respond. Not only does the unfolding dynamics of the text, present the attitude of the church in opposition to the needs of the non-churched; but it also presents the heart and desires of Jesus in His ministry of reconciliation, while establishing the fullness of his word as the measuring stick of the righteousness by which the church and the disciples of Christ, should be governed. In the text, Jesus…

    Starting off this class with reading what Family Ministry is defined as opened up my view on how Family Ministry can be diverse in a variety of understanding. Diana Garland stated that “family ministry is any activity that directly or indirectly (1) forms families in the congregation community; (2) increases the Christlikeness of the family relationships of Christians; or (3) equips and supports families for the work to which they are called together.” Earlier in the reading she stated that “The flurry of programs called family ministry is the fear that Christian families are falling apart and need churches to strengthen and support them.” Diana Garland’s definition is what I strive for in ministry and I believe that she also is aware…

    When the Holy Spirit came upon His people, every individual became a “Temple of God”. “You are God’s temple and God’s Spirit dwells in you” (1 Corinthians 3:16 NIV). With the idea of the “Body of Christ” the entire community became “Church”. Therefore, in this paper, I am going to discuss how to build individuals, communities, and congregations, in Christ Jesus. In other words, the theme of this paper is how to build a “Kingdom people”, or making congregations ready for the eternal kingdom of God.…
