Notes from Cancelled Soul Care Leader Meeting

Sorry I wasn't able to have the Soul Care Leader meeting tonight!
Wasn't feeling well today!

Here are the notes from the meeting.

Soul Care Group Leader Training

EBC’s mission is Glorify God by making disciples who are

Submitted to His Lordship

Grounded in His Teaching

Sincere in His Love

EBC’s Soul Care ministry has been designed to cultivate, help grow disciples who are “sincere in His love.”

Here is another way to think of what Soul Care is about

In our Soul Care Groups we want people

  to share how they are growing in relationship to truths they have heard and

  to encourage one another to grow.

Pray we would be known as more than a church with a strong pulpit ministry but rather a church that is a congregation of believers living out strong teaching & preaching.

Remember the congregation’s responsibilities for preaching:

1. Responsibility for what preaching they support (Galatians 1, 2 Timothy 4:3; Revelation 2:17)

2. Responsibility to change (James 1:22)

3. Responsibility to help each other change (Ephesians 4)

Preaching that equips is not simply truth that we hear on Sunday, but truth that reverberates back and forth throughout the congregation all week long.

In Soul Care this happens through

sermon discussion that  is application focused.  See “Banning Bible Studies” article.

prayer that is personal, God-glorifying
