‘Christian Participant’s Guide’ is the study booklet for an eight-session small group DVD study based on Andy Stanley’s fascinating and profound preaching series he delivered at North Point Community Church, in Atlanta, Georgia.

The series tackles one strikingly simple question – what is a Christian?

Andy Stanley, in his trademark preaching style that blends together absorbing biblical knowledge with a clear and hard-hitting tone, says that the word ‘Christian’ is indefinable. Over the century’s, many have attempted to define, re-define, mis-define and un-define ‘Christianity’. With so many denominations and countless definitions, how can we call ourselves ‘Christians’.

Andy’s message is simple: are we Christians, or are we disciples?

It’s extremely hard to define Christianity in our modern world, but it’s much easier (and profoundly simple) to define the disciples of Jesus. Andy’s teaching takes you through how the people in Jerusalem, Judah and the surrounding Greek world saw the ‘Followers of the Way’, and the one word that Jesus said should define his disciples.

Inside the ‘Christian Participant’s Guide’:
• Discussion questions for individuals and small groups, directly relating to the DVD, to encourage further reflection, learning, Bible study and transformation.
• In between session devotionals, to encourage your group take what they’ve learnt into their daily lives.
• DVD teaching overviews
• A leader’s guide
