Exponential: Neil Cole

Cultivating Kingdom-Focused Lives
Neil Cole
  • You cannot control multiplication.
  • Spiritual Breathing: Exhaling
    confession/cleansing of sin (2 Tim. 2:19-22)
    The Bible's clear we should confess to each other.
  • Spiritual Breathing: Inhaling
    The consumption of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
    Part of the problem is our churches aren't reading the Bible. They're not learning to
    hear God's voice, they're learning to hear it through their pastor.
    Read the Bible like a love letter--all the way through and over and over.
  • Spiritual Breathing: Sharing (2 Tim. 4:1-5)
    This will flow out of breathing.
    We'll only know what to say in the moment if we're breathing.
  • Life Transformation Groups
    No leader, equally disciples.
    Three activities: read Scripture, confess sin, pray for the lost.
  • In disciple making we have to work with people who will be faithful to the process. Some will try to consume your life with their problems and you can't let them. You're not their Savior.
