Discipleship Starts At Home: Romans

WHAT IS IT?

This month’s Toolbox Resource is made up of two main parts.

  • Part one, Ten Ways To Utilize M2P More Effectively, was designed and created for you as a children’s ministry leader. It’s a curated list of ten ways you can utilize M2P more effectively in your children’s ministry.
  • Part two, Discipleship Starts At Home: Romans, was designed and created for you to use to equip the parents within your span of care as they seek to be the primary disciplers of the kids in their homes. This discipleship and bible study resource is the second installment of a very popular resource (actually several resources that have been bundled together) that we previously provided for the book of John.

PART ONE:

  • Ten Ways To Utilize M2P More Effectively

HOW TO USE IT

  • Download the Ten Ways To Utilize M2P More Effectively PDF.
  • Read and explore all the resources that your M2P subscription provides you.
  • Discuss with your ministry team ways you can implement some of these ideas/resources to be more effective in encouraging, equipping, educating, and training the parents within your span of care.

 PART TWO:

  • Discipleship Starts At Home: Romans
    • BIG QUESTIONS. SIMPLE ANSWERS. is a brief e-book that offers parents a way to learn and explain the Bible’s Big Story to their children in an easy-to-understand format. The topics are:
      • What is the Big Story of the Bible?
      • Why do we have four Gospels?
      • What is the Good News?
      • What is the Bible?
      • Who is God’s Family?
    • FAMILY BIBLE STUDY: ROMANS is one of M2P’s Family Bible Series that is designed to help parents lead their kids through a book of the Bible and have spiritual conversations as a family. This study is all done for you and is simple to use. It includes:
      • Book Summary that comes complete with descriptions of the setting, overview, and theme of Romans.
      • Daily Reading Plan that breaks each of the 16 chapters of Romans down chapter by chapter into seven themes.
      • Family Journal sheets help guide the reader’s thoughts through each chapter. Every journal sheet corresponds with a chapter in Romans and provides space to write (or draw), share favorite words, and more. This section creates opportunities for spiritual conversations over dinner, at night before they go to bed, in the car, or anytime the opportunity arises.

Each of the resources found in Discipleship Starts At Home: Romans is designed to provide parents with a practical tool they can use to lead spiritual exercises and conversations that will help their kids grow in their faith and position the parents to be the primary spiritual leaders for their family. Each of the resources offers a different experience, and parents can use one or multiple of them as they seek to help their kids grow into true disciples of Jesus.
