Guidelines for the Leader

When a person becomes a Christian, Jesus Christ is the only Person who can change a life from within. Yet Jesus also wants you to play a part in helping to change individual lives as you lead them in discovering biblical truths and applying those truths in the power of the Holy Spirit. Your goal, like the apostle Paul's, is to be " ... teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ. And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me" (Colossians 1:28,29 NASB).

The Holy Spirit will change lives as you lead Practical Christian Living. The impact of what happens in your life and in the lives of your group members will be multiplied in the weeks, months and years ahead as the men and women you lead grow toward maturity in Christ. The praying, loving, caring attitude you demonstrate in your ministry now will reap a great harvest in many other lives in the future.

What Is Practical Christian Living? Practical Christian Living (PCL) is a two-part series designed to help a person grow from his/her initial commitment to Christ to a level of spiritual maturity that results in discipling others (2 Timothy 2:1,2). Completing this curriculum will not ensure that a multiplying disciple is built, but it is an excellent tool to help you accomplish that result.

What Are the Distinctive Characteristics of PCL? This discipleship series has an opportunity challenge that the leader should use to invite people to commit themselves to the group. This discipleship commitment provides a platform for growth in Christ.

Each session emphasizes not only material to be studied, but also prayer, sharing, evangelism and accountability.

In addition to the small group meeting, there is a high priority for the leader to meet individually with group members outside the group environment.

This discipleship series is more than just a Bible study. It also emphasizes learning and applying ministry skills.

The desired result is transformed lives through the application of God's Word in the power of the Holy Spirit. The content is not just for the group members to learn (spiritual addition) but also for them to teach others who will teach others also (spiritual multiplication).
