MAIN SESSION 4: The Behaviors of the Lost Cause
Eight times in the New Testament we are told to "Love your neighbor." Jesus earned the nickname "friend of sinners" because he loved his neighbors the way they wanted to be loved. For us to create a culture of evangelism, we will risk being called, "friends of sinners" and become people who love our neighbors. The strategy that God used in the beginning to reach and redeem the world was a blessing strategy. God promised, "I will bless you ... and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."(Genesis 12:2,3) The best way to accomplish Jesus' mission of reaching people far from God is for his people to become "Blessers!"

Workshop Session 4: One Eighty: The Return to Disciple Making — Activity to Intentionality
A fourth key turning point is a 180 from church activities to spiritual intimacy. A return to disciple making is a significant shift in our church cultures. Anytime we make changes to our cultures and begin to shift away from doing church activities to building relationships we'll run into barriers. If we can intentionally eliminate the following barriers we can engage in relational disciple making and offer people an intimate experience with God. I'm talking about barriers like idolizing busyness, neglect of the sabbath, professionalizing ministry, thinking discipleship is about content to name a few. As we intentionally tear down barriers we will create the relational space for disciples who love God and follow Jesus.
