This is a great resource, courtesy of BrookHills Church in Birmingham, Alabama. David Platt is the pastor there, and they have developed a re-teaching guide to help their members take a sermon and use it to teach others. This is a 7-day intensive exercise to expand the sermon from one hour a day into a week long discipleship course. The end goal is to allow each person to then re-teach the sermon to someone else. I have used a modified version of this for years with great results. Enjoy!
In honor of All’s Hallow Eve and All Saints Day, Ta Ethne is offering a free resource for you to enjoy and share. A Kindle (or Kindle for PC) version of our book, Is Jesus Enough?, is free to download today and tomorrow. If you would, after you have read it, would you post a review on Amazon? This will help others to be able to find this and other resources that we offer in their search engines. May God bless you as you read this wonderfully inspiring and challenging book.
A new resource from Ta Ethne – How to get the most from a Sermon. This 4-part lesson will help you to maximize learning from sermons. Great for a small group resource also. Pastors, help your congregation learn how to effectively listen to your sermons.
Another free resource has been uploaded for your use – a personal, investigative Bible study on the Letter to the Colossians. Check it out below or on our Bible Study resource page. A study on how to get the most out of sermons will also be uploaded this weekend.
As usual, you are free to copy and distribute any of Ta Ethne’s resources, podcasts or studies as long as you do not charge for them. Freely you have received, freely give. God bless you in your studies.
Ta Ethne
Here at Ta Ethne we want to hel you see different ministries around the globe that are making a difference for the Kingdom of God. These are people and ministries with whom we are in contact. Some of them we directly resource, others are lifted up in prayer. Some we partner with on the field and others we send training materials, finances or other resources. We will travel the globe over the coming weeks, showing you servants of our Great God who are doing a remarkable job. First up – India.
The Victory Baptist Association, http://www.vbai.org/ is one such ministry. There stated purpose is ” to give every person in India “ONE FAIR CHANCE” to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ,to make disciples of the Christian believers,to build a core of Christian leaders, and extend the ministry values and influence of Jesus Christ.”
VBAI works in the Agra area of Utter Pradesh (state) of north India . Agra is in the state of Utter Pradesh, this is the largest populated state of India sending highest number of the representatives of the people to the “legislative” house [parliament] of the country. Most of the prime minister are elected from this state; here the famous Taj Mahal, which attracts millions of tourists every year from all over the World. This state has 13 million population, 630 cities and 8100 villages. It is the birthplace of the most of the gods of India . This state has many sacred rivers and temples, kasi Varanasi is considered as the second heaven people come and stay here in die.
This is a persecuted area, but this group has established a seminary and hold crusades regularly. Thousands are coming to Christ and this group is diligently working to train leaders through their seminary. They have trained over 100 pastors to serve in churches, and they hope to reach out to another 300 villages and 50 key cities in the next 10 years. A truly ambitious goal that they are trusting God to accomplish through them. Evangelist Pandu Maddala has reached out to Ta Ethne and we are currently praying about opportunities to work with VBAI over the next few years.
Check them out, pray for them, go and visit. God has many servants across the world. Come explore them with us.
