Opening the Door

Ron Bennett and Larry Glabe - NavPress

Introducing others to Christ in today’s society is a challenging mission.  In the past, merely inviting people to church was an effective way to get them interested in Christianity.  But times have changed, and so should our evangelistic approach.  We need new strategies, updated discipleship tools, and unique ways to present these tools.

Opening the Door meets these criteria. It is a tool to help seekers explore the gospel by looking at the Bible (Gospel of Luke).  This method of evangelism can be called an investigative Bible discussion. There are twenty-one Discovery Guides, each containing a passage from Luke with questions for discussion.  A believer uses these reproducible Guides with one or more seekers to facilitate a self discovery environment.  Together you examine a snapshot from the life of Christ to better understand what He said about becoming His follower.  Intended to be non-threatening, this user-friendly workbook is full of tips on preparation, being an effective facilitator, and engaging new seekers in discovering the good news of the gospel.  Each Discovery Guide contains a Scripture passage from the gospel of Luke, eight relevant discussion questions, along with key definitions and background for the passage.

This user-friendly workbook is full of tips on preparation, being an effective facilitator, and recruiting new seekers. Session planning is easy––just choose one of the 21 Discovery Guides and photocopy it for those in your discussion group.  Whether you’re a “natural” evangelist just looking for innovative discipleship methods, or a new group leader in need of a structured plan, you’ll definitely want to add Opening the Door to your expanding ministry toolbox.
