A living organism-1 Encourage passion and ownership by telling great stories; invite people to act with boldness and ‘have a go’; involve everyone in planning.

A living organism-1 - The church grows, reproduces and responds to the world around it. It develops and matures; it spreads like seeds or a virus.

Gifts for building-2 Talk together about the gifts you see in one another, give one another feedback; most people are strong in one or more gifts.

Gifts for building - In this part of JDMC we look at encouraging one another, identifying purpose, growing the gifts, and sparking connections.

Jesus at the centre-3 Consider the everyday. How do you love the Lord, the creation, and other people (how do you treat them), consider your obedience, are you willing to spend time in Jesus’ company?

Jesus at the centre-3 - Worship is much more than singing songs and praising the Lord, it’s also a matter of obedience. Worship is living lives that honour Jesus, it’s gratefully offering our world back to him.

Jesus at the centre We are often overwhelmed by the complications and demands of modern life; our focus on the essential is lost and we are distracted by so many side issues.

Keeping Jesus central in our lives. It’s extremely important that Jesus is at the heart of our lives, both individually and in church life too. If we don’t get this foundation right we cannot be built into what he wants us to be.

Ways five and six, and six ways Different things may stand out for different people; tell one another what seems important and why.

Different things may stand out for different people; tell one another what seems important and why. (From the next section of JDMC, 'Ways five and six, and six ways').

I will build my church If Jesus builds something, then he may ask us to help - but he will be in charge. He will teach us how to build, he will give us tasks he knows we can do.

Do you attend church? If so, who built it? - If Jesus builds something, then he may ask us to help – but he will be in charge. He will teach us how to build, he will give us tasks he knows we can do.

Working together in six ways In the Western church, what has been lying dormant for so long needs to be brought back into activity.

Working together in six ways - Chapter intro, key factors, Jesus at the centre. In this part of JDMC we begin to think about why the church in the west is shrinking so alarmingly. Do we really keep Jesus central?

Using JDMC – how to approach it Don't feel you must read JDMC in sequence; it may be better to start with a topic that excites you.

Here's another extract from my short book, JDMC. This time we consider how best to use it, perhaps for individual study, or maybe even better for group discussion.

Introduction to JDMC Good and bad habits alike result from repeated behaviour, and the sessions aim to get you behaving in ways that will form good habits as Jesus' disciples.

Continuing the series of extracts from #JDMC, I've just published another section on #JHM. This is actually from the first section of the book, the introduction.

Why not take a look?

Last words from JDMC You will only grow and progress if you do the work yourselves daily, weekly, and on into the extraordinary future that Father already has planned for you.

When the end can also be the beginning...

Is it possible to become more effective in sharing Jesus? How can you get to know him better, and follow him better?

Read the closing words from JDMC, see what you think.
