Bold Course | Birchman's Discipleship Process

A Vision for You

We all felt the frustration and disappointment of another year passed and deep down feeling as if we are missing something. We feel like we are back where we started, or just not growing at the pace that we wish we were and feel like we are just floating along.

We at Birchman Baptist Church refuse to float while the spiritual forces of this world desire to rob you and your family of everything precious and pure. We are striving in an intentional way for you and your family to be everything that God wants you to be!

Read carefully the vision that God has designed for growth according to Psalm 1.

¹Blessed is the man
   
   who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the way of sinners,

   nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

²but his delight is in the law of the LORD,

   and on his law he meditates day and night.

³He is like a tree

   planted by streams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

   and its leaf does not wither.

In all that he does, he prospers.

⁴The wicked are not so,

   but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

⁵Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

   nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

⁶for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,

   but the way of the wicked will perish.

Bold Course is designed so that it points you like a compass directly to reading the Word of God and to meditation upon it which will fuel intimate, powerful and life changing prayer. This is what we want for all us at Birchman. Imagine our entire church family reading the word, meditating upon it, praying for each other and interceding for the lost around the world together, in a unified effort, every single day!

We want to see you and every member of your family flourishing and thriving in a daily walk with God with unity and purpose.

But, if we want to grow, we must leverage our life to do so. We are asking that you leverage, organize, and purpose to put the things of God first in your life. We want you to be a Psalm 1 tree. Just remember, if you are going to plant yourself by streams of living water and delight yourself in God’s Word, it will require work.

It is not in our heart to make anyone feel like they are not a strong Christian if they choose not to do this. This is not about earning some level of righteousness for we are already fully justified in His sight (Romans 5:1). The work of salvation has already been, and being accomplished by Jesus Christ.  But we are commanded to work out our salvation by obedience to Christ (Philippians 2:12-16). Therefore, we are presenting to our people a process of discipleship that is measurable, effective, and useful in helping  you and your family grow in Christ.

Will you take the challenge?
