IntroductionWe have spent 4 sessions on the new disciple. This is the key cornerstone of church growth but our weakest link.
Need to rally the whole church behind training a new disciple:
A. Members take personal interest with new disciples
B. Care teams looking out for new disciples to invite
C. Leadership to conduct classes and find opportunities for new disciples to serve.

God now helps, protects and enables me - 1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Discussion Questions
•1. What was the most helpful take home point for me today? How is it going to change the way I live?
•2. Which is the weakest piece in my Christian armour? How can I consciously appropriate the full armour of God at all times to fight against the evil one?
