Developing a Small Group Discipleship Model Through the Expository Preaching at Macedonia Baptist Church, Kuttawa, Kentucky

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop a small group discipleship model through the expository preaching ministry at Macedonia Baptist Church, Kuttawa, Kentucky. Chapter 1 contains the rationale, purpose, and goals of the ministry project. In addition, chapter 1 includes the research methodology, definitions, and limitations and delimitations of the project. Chapter 2 covers the biblical and theological basis of the ministry project, showing how Deuteronomy 6:6-9, Matthew 28:19-20, 2 Timothy 2:2, and Titus 2:1 support the basis of this project. In chapter 3, the sermon-based small group ministry of three churches was observed. The insights gained helped form the sermon-based small groups at Macedonia Baptist Church. Chapter 4 details the specifics of the ministry project. Chapter 5 is an evaluation of the ministry project, which includes its strengths and weaknesses as well as the results of the sermon evaluations completed by the Macedonia Baptist Church congregation.
