AUGUST CALENDAR
“Partnering in Christ to Establish Relationships and Nurture a Community of Faith”
AUGUST 2015
Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 28:19 “Go and make disciples of all nations.” How do we make disciples? Jesus
is our best model
Christ and His 12 disciples are the picture of how we should make disciples and what that looks like today.
Start with a few people
Invest in a relationship with those individuals
Build them up in the truth and knowledge of God through His word
Equip them to teach and serve others
Those few people will go and start the process with others
It is a beautiful cycle that grows slowly like a tree with its leaves multiplying upon the branches
Disciples - making disciples - who make disciples. You may think: Why not start with a hundred people and produce
more disciples faster? Disciples cannot be mass produced...they are the product of intimate and personal investments.
Jesus was not concerned with programs to reach the multitudes but with men the multitudes would follow! Paul
is a great model of a disciple-making disciple. Remember Timothy and Titus? Paul invested in them, encouraged
them in the truth and equipped them to start the process over again. Paul's version of the great commission was his
personal mission.
(Colossians 1:28-29) “We proclaim Him (Christ) admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we
may present everyone perfect in Christ to this end I labor, struggling with all His energy which so powerfully works
within me.” The message of Christ, that Paul, John, Peter and the other disciples shared with a few, is now shared
today, two thousand years later, moving from disciple to disciple to disciple.

The LMT Spotlight - Worship by: Sean Roby
The lay mobilization team at our church is firmly
entrenched in a study of discipleship. Our team is not
only learning to be disciples individually, but seeking
ways to nurture discipleship in our community of
faith here at Bardstown United Methodist. Our group
has found this study and the growth in understanding
of what it means to be a disciple to be revealing as
well as rewarding.
This LMT spotlight is on the topic of worship.
Revelation, Chapter 4, Verse 11 states "You are
worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and
honor and power, for you created all things, and by
your will they were created and have their being."
Our study in Greg Ogden's book Discipleship
Essentials reveals this core truth: "The functions of
the church have been variously defined as teaching,
fellowship, outreach and worship. Of these
important functions, honoring God through worship
is the church's primary purpose, because it is our
eternal vocation."
God is worthy of our worship. Ogden examines this
worthiness by focusing on the holiness of God and
the problems this holiness attribute creates within our
human nature. Generally speaking, our nature drives
us away from knowing God. In particular, we tend to
form our own perception of who God really is -
which usually involves Him looking like us.
We also refuse to look at God when He reveals
Himself because encountering God in His holiness is
a frightening experience. When considering the purity
and absolute holiness of God compared to our sinful
existence, the gap between God and us is
immeasurable.
The Good News is that while the distance between
God and us seems insurmountable, that changed with
Christ. Ogden puts it this way: "Because of Jesus
Christ and in Jesus Christ we dare to approach the
Holy Creator of the universe and address Him as
Abba, Father."
God our Father desires our fellowship so much that
He gave His only Son to make it possible. Let us seek
God in worship - in awe of our Father's holiness, in
shame before the Absolute Pure and with deep
gratitude for His mercifulness.
Amen!

Malaria is a devastating disease caused by a blood parasite, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Each year,
an estimated 219 million people are infected with malaria, causing approximately 600,000 deaths – mostly
children under the age of five.
Malaria is a huge problem in Africa, where it is a leading killer of children. In fact, there are 10 new cases
of malaria every second. Every 60 seconds, a child in Africa dies from a malaria infection and 90% of all
malaria deaths occur in the region. When combined with HIV/AIDS, malaria is even more deadly,
particularly for pregnant women and children.
Nothing But Nets works with UN partners like UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency, and the World Health
Organization to purchase nets and distribute them to countries in Africa. Net distributions are typically part
of a wider public health effort within a country coordinated by the Ministry of Health, the UN and other
local and international organizations.
The Outreach Committee asks you to prayerfully consider making a donation to this cause. Envelopes will
be placed in the sanctuary for donations. Your $10 contribution goes towards the cost of purchasing a long
-lasting, insecticide-treated bed net, distributing it, and educating communities on its use.
