Description

Six Steps to Encouragement - How words change lives

God has given every Christian an enormous privilege and gift: the power to speak his life-changing word into the lives of other people. There's no reason at all for there to be 'passengers' in a church: every Christian can change the lives of those around them through knowing and telling the message of God's grace, whether in front of a group, in a hand-written note, in a one-to-one conversation over morning tea, or in a thousand other ways. Every Christian can be a channel of encouragement.

In Six Steps to Encouragement you'll learn the why and how of personal encouragement. Through video input, Bible study, practical examples, discussions and hands-on exercises, you'll discover how to bring life, hope and strength to those around you by bringing the powerful word of God to them. You'll also work through practical case studies such as welcoming newcomers, listening, rebuking, and dealing with suffering.

Six Steps to Encouragement is a six-session course, best undertaken in a small group (of 6-10 people).

To run the course you will need:
- a workbook for each person, which also contains notes for group leaders; and
- a DVD to use in the group.

This starter pack includes three workbooks and one DVD.

Very worthwhile

(Review written for 'Six Steps to Encouragement DVD')

 This DVD and study guide is ideal material for a church home group to use. It's well set out and thought-provoking. The content is faithful to biblical teaching and the DVD snippets help to bring out the main points. What I particularly liked was that, unlike many bible studies, participants are expected to do something! They are expected to pair up with someone and meet for a halfhour discussion on a bible passage. Our group found this challenging but very worthwhile and it was this activity that really helped people to move out their comfort zone and grow in their knowledge and use of the Bible.

helpful but dull

 A short course to help people make more effective use of their conversations in encouraging others in their Christian faith.
Gordon speaks clearly and coherently and what he says is great, challenging and helpful, however the presentation is dull and uninspiring and the group leader needs to keep momentum going in the group so that it is not lost after the DVD section. Most DVD bits are only 10 minutes long thankfully.
