Small group resources tend to overlook the spiritual side of small group leadership. And yet most would agree that spiritual preparation is the most important aspect of leading a small group. Only God’s supernatural power can draw people to the truth and liberate them to be all that God wants them to be. The key distinction of this audiobook is the spiritual perspective it gives to small group ministry. In a Holy Spirit-charged atmosphere, cell leaders are best raised up and members are encouraged to minister in their giftedness.

In this ground-breaking audiobook, Joel Comiskey challenges pastors and leaders to move from simply educating children to forming them into disciples who make disciples. Comiskey lays out the Biblical base for children's ministry and then encourages pastors and leaders to formulate their own vision and philosophy for ministry to children based on the Biblical text.

Most of the modern day cell church movement is biblical, dynamic, and positive. Sadly, errors and false assumptions have also crept in to confuse and lead astray an otherwise healthy movement.

Each chapter begins with a unique insight from a worldwide cell church leader who will share decades of wisdom in working with cell groups.

This audiobook clearly explains how to plant churches that are simple enough to keep on reproducing and even grow into a movement of churches. Planting Churches that Reproduce is the fruit of Comiskey’s extensive research and personal experience (three church plants in a wide variety of settings).

Ralph Neighbour repeatedly says, “Theology must breed methodology.”Joel Comiskey has arrived at the same conclusion. Biblical truth is the only firm foundation for anything we do. Without a biblical base, we don’t have a strong under-pinning upon which we can hang our ministry and philosophy. We can plod through most anything when we know that God is stirring us to behave biblically.

We know that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. While this is God's ultimate plan, does he have a particular purpose for the cell-based church? I've been wrestling with this question for the past 22 years. This question confronts me every time I coach a pastor or pastors. In preparation for coaching, I ask myself, "What is my principal objective in helping this pastor?", "Where am I guiding this church?", and "What am I trying to do?". I've come to the conclusion that the primary goal of cell ministry is to make disciples who make disciples.

This book will tell you how.

Las palabras de Maxwell me han convencido de priorizar lo que realmente importa. Aunque la comunión involucra muchas áreas de nuestras vidas, las relaciones comunitarias más importantes son las más cercanas a nosotros. Si la comunión no funciona allí, realmente no funciona. La victoria de Dios viene a través del éxito en nuestras relaciones. La vida cristiana necesita ser desarrollada con las personas más cercanas a nosotros.

Muchas personas creen que no necesitan la iglesia local. La resistencia a reunirse fielmente con otros creyentes regularmente no es un problema nuevo. La misma tendencia también estaba ocurriendo en la iglesia del Nuevo Testamento. Para enfrentar este dilema, el escritor de Hebreos dijo: “No dejemos de congregarnos, como acostumbran hacerlo algunos, sino animémonos unos a otros, y con mayor razón ahora que vemos que aquel día se acerca”. (Hebreos 10:25).

El mundo valora las acciones a cambio del amor. Debemos demostrar que somos dignos de afecto y atención. Y cuando surgen debilidades y fracasos, las acciones solidarias se disipan. El mundo declara: “Muéstrate competente y seguro y así llamarás la atención”. Las personas bellas, talentosas, seguras de sí mismas e inteligentes son valoradas en la sociedad. La Biblia declara que Dios primero se acercó a nosotros, y la única forma en que realmente entendemos el amor es a través de su cuidado amoroso.

¿Cuántas veces he tratado de empezar mi día sin la presencia de Dios y Su mano que me guía?

He aprendido por experiencia propia que necesito tener un tiempo devocional a diario, necesito alimentarme de la Palabra de Dios, recibir la llenura del Espíritu y sobre todo conocer a Dios más íntimamente.
