“MENTORING FROM YOUR HEART”

CHAIRMAN : ALEC CHENG
SPEAKER : PASTOR KEN LEE
SCRIPTURE : 1 Cor. 4:14-17

Notes:

The Lord Jesus calls us to be His disciples, to follow Him, and learn to be like Him. About a month ago I shared with you "To be a disciple from your heart." I introduced the importance of discipleship training and the discipleship process designed by PGC. Today, I will introduce to you another important direction in the PGC discipleship strategy: life influencing life – mentoring from your heart.

1. PGC disciple training strategy

• Church design process - "A Whole New You" booklet, "Rooted in Eternity" new believer follow-up, "Listening to God" Bible reading and devotion, Sunday school/workshops, worship, cell groups, MasterLife discipleship training, serving in ministries, seminary studies
• Life influencing life – Mentoring, develop one-to-one spiritual relationship

2. Importance of Mentoring

• Biblical model
• Cultivation of personal character
• Development of spiritual leaders

3. Qualification of Mentees (2 Timothy 2:2)

• Faithful
• Able / Available
• Teachable

4. Qualification of Mentors (1 Corinthians 4:14-17)

• Heart of a parent (v14-15)
• Live out God’s Word (v17)
• Be a role model for others (v16)

Response:

1. After you became a Christian, is there another Christian (besides your family member) who has helped in your spiritual growth and established a deep spiritual relationship with you? Please share the experience.
2. Do you want to have a mentor to walk the life journey with you? In what way do you hope he/she can help you grow spiritually?
