Assignment 2: Jesus\’s Small Group
Introduction:
Jesus lived the life as an ordinary person and citizen—a man with a trade. At age thirty, he was commissioned by God to declare, \”The Kingdom of the Heavens is here!\” Jesus called disciples—twelve men—to follow Him. Though doing so was costly, they lived with Him, observed Him, and sat at His feet—learning from Him. They were physically with Him.
Today, we are not able to be with Jesus in the same way, physically. But we are able to have the same heart and inner attitudes. Dallas Willard wrote this about the disciple of Christ:
\”Having come to some understanding of what it means, and thus having \’counted up the costs,\’ the disciple of Christ desires above all else to be like him. Thus, \’It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher\’ (Matt. 10:25). And moreover, \’After he has been fully trained. He will be like his teacher\’ (Luke 6:40).\” (Willard 2006)
However, we are able to be in small groups gathered by God, to become conformed to the image of Christ, and to \”embrace the true meaning of discipleship—an active, concrete, 24/7 life with Jesus\” (Willard 2006, inside back flap) through engaged participation in small groups!
Tasks:
Articulate the importance of participation in small groups and community to help one another live an \”active, concrete 24/7 life with Jesus.\” Discuss the similarities between the calling of the original Twelve disciples and our own calling. Apply to this paper insights gained from this week\’s readings from your course textbook Biblical Foundations for Small Group Ministry: An Integrational Approach (Icenogle 1994).
Compile your responses in 750–1,000 words. The paper is to be of academic quality that indicates its level of excellence through its presentation of a clear, concise argument that is supported by academic resources.
