Exploring God's Colossal Promises
Let’s take a guided a tour through an entire Discovery Bible Study session. When a group internalizes God’s Word, shares His Word, and seeks to obey it, marvelous things occur. They gradually discover who Jesus is and can’t resist following Him.
In a Discovery Bible Study (DBS), people who know nothing about the Bible become disciples of Jesus Christ. How is this possible? Because the texts they explore together set them on the bedrock of history. As they begin to identify with the Jews of Bible times, the light of faith gradually dawns. And when Jesus rises, their hearts become His!
Since 1994, millions of people have come to faith in a Discovery Bible Study, even though none of them were Christians when they began the study. We church goers used to being instructed by a Bible expert, wonder: How could a group of know-nothings reading the Bible ever become disciples of Jesus Christ?
What if a witnessing method did not require you to be a Bible expert with all the answers? In fact, you wouldn’t be the leader at all. Learn the counter-intuitive method of Discovery Bible Study.
Jesus Christ is still making disciples. In 1990, of the 100 million Bhojpuri in northern India, only 10,000 confessed faith in Christ. Today they number in the millions! Since then, the disciple-making principles that the Lord taught the Bhojpuris have spread to other parts of the globe. Why not your neighborhood too?
Ever wonder: “Do I have what it takes to be a disciple of Jesus?” All His disciples are misfits. But through the Father’s forgiveness, the Savior’s blood, and the Spirit’s indwelling presence, God reshapes us to fit into His plan to make disciples of all nations.
If a Christian disciple-making strategy had converted millions since 1994, yet was so simple that children can use it, would you consider it too good to be true, or too wonderful to ignore? Disciple-Making Movements (DMM) stands in a class by itself and can enhance the outreach methods you already use.
As culture wars rage in the USA and elsewhere, the threat of persecution increases. Can believers in Christ survive and even multiply under harsh conditions? The recent history of Disciple-Making Movements proves that we can. Consider three examples.

An ocean liner can’t change course quickly. Neither can churches. For Discovery Bible Study to transform your church, start slowly and incrementally. Bit by bit, God will steer your ocean liner on a new course to make disciples who make disciples.
How does one start making disciples who make disciples? Jesus said to find a person of peace. Here’s how.
Because each generation is responsible to pass on the Gospel to their children, Christianity always stands just one generation from extinction. Over the last half century, Satan has attacked the family on many fronts. Could Discovery Bible Study bring victory in the battleground of your home? Yes, it could. Let’s take a brief tour of the features that distinguish DBS from typical family devotion methods.
