Is Christian living easy or hard? Is it easy or hard for you to live the Christian life?I have asked this question to thousands of Christians and consistently they will answer with resolve, "Hard "Then, I show them this familiar verse: For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."Matthew 11:30 (NIV2011)I ask again, wording the question slightly differently, "Did Jesus teach that following Him would be easy or hard?" Puzzled looks. I never get an explanation this complete, but it seems they are saying, "I don't care what that verse says, believe me, Christian living is very, very hard." Perhaps it is hard because we have never been taught. We have never been taught to be train ourselves to be godly.We have never been taught to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We have never been taught the power of habit. We have never been taught that we become what we behold. You are about to be taught. Jesus yoke is about to become easy, as He said it would be.

Jesus told us to make disciples, not converts. He told us to make followers, not lead people to pray a magic prayer. This seven-week course will provide a good foundation for new believer and a great reminder for all believers. Suitable for use in a small group or adult Sunday School class. Topics include: - Convert or Disciple? What is the difference between a convert and a disciple? How can we move from believing to discipleship? - Discipleship Defined. What is a disciple? This lesson will look at three biblical components of discipleship. - How to Have a Life-changing Quiet Time. Living the disciple's life can be summarized this way: exposing yourself to the Word each day, and striving to be obedient to that Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. - How to Live the Spirit Filled Life. There is more to Christian living than trying really hard to be good. We must be continually filled with the Spirit in order to live the disciple's life. - Train Yourself to Be Godly. Training has to do with breaking down a complex task into component parts and practicing the parts until they become a habit. This is called training. - The Cost of Discipleship. Anyone who would be a disciple of Christ must take up their cross daily and follow Him. - Transformed by Habit. Most of life is habit. Disciples harness the power of habit in order to live the Disciple's Life.

The church in America is in desperate need of revitalization. This seven-week study is a humble attempt to offer some help in that direction. For maximum impact, I'd suggest you approach this as a campaign (Think 40 Days of Purpose) where the pastor preaches on each of the 7 topics of this study on the same week that the group members discuss. The seven topics that will be discussed are: Revitalize your churchRevitalize your heartRevitalize your habitsRevitalize your buildingRevitalize your groupsRevitalize your worshipRevitalize your outreach
