This book explores how God has used small groups throughout church history, specifically focusing on the early church to the present time. God not only established the early church as a house to house movement, but he also has used small groups throughout church history. This book chronicles the small group or cell movement from Jesus all the way to the modern day cell explosion.

Ralph Neighbour repeatedly says, “Theology must breed methodology.”Joel Comiskey has arrived at the same conclusion. Biblical truth is the only firm foundation for anything we do. Without a biblical base, we don’t have a strong under-pinning upon which we can hang our ministry and philosophy. We can plod through most anything when we know that God is stirring us to behave biblically.

We know that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. While this is God's ultimate plan, does he have a particular purpose for the cell-based church? I've been wrestling with this question for the past 22 years. This question confronts me every time I coach a pastor or pastors. In preparation for coaching, I ask myself, "What is my principal objective in helping this pastor?", "Where am I guiding this church?", and "What am I trying to do?". I've come to the conclusion that the primary goal of cell ministry is to make disciples who make disciples.

This audiobook clearly explains how to plant churches that are simple enough to keep on reproducing and even grow into a movement of churches. Planting Churches that Reproduce is the fruit of Comiskey’s extensive research and personal experience (three church plants in a wide variety of settings).

Research has proven that the greatest contributor to cell group success is the quality of coaching provided for cell group leaders.

This book will prepare you to be a great cell group coach, one who mentors, supports, and guides cell group leaders into great ministry.

Liderar un grupo celular de éxito y mantener en sus reuniones un clima dinámico no es únicamente cuestión de voluntad: es cuestión de técnica.

Cualquier líder de un grupo celular encontrará fácil lograr en las reuniones un ambiente agradable y conseguir que los asistentes no tan sólo salgan con ganas de volver, sino incluso de traer a otras personas.

In this groundbreaking audiobook, Joel Comiskey and Jim Egli describe eight surprises about thriving small groups, from their research of 4,800 small-group participants on four continents. The authors expose common small group assumptions and offer practical advice to group members and leaders to help their groups thrive. The audiobook covers topics such as small group participation, the influence of food, worship, and how thriving small groups effectively reach others for Jesus Christ.

Small group resources tend to overlook the spiritual side of small group leadership. And yet most would agree that spiritual preparation is the most important aspect of leading a small group. Only God’s supernatural power can draw people to the truth and liberate them to be all that God wants them to be. The key distinction of this audiobook is the spiritual perspective it gives to small group ministry. In a Holy Spirit-charged atmosphere, cell leaders are best raised up and members are encouraged to minister in their giftedness.

Many people do not believe that God is in control of their lives. They think they are the captains of their ship and don’t need God. Others believe that God might exist but that he’s not actively involved in their personal affairs or the world's affairs. It’s a subtle form of deism—the belief that God wound up the clock and let it tick down. According to this view, God started the process when he created the world but allows things to happen naturally without any guidance or influence. On the other hand, Scripture tells us that God, the Creator, is actively involved in all his ...

We've entitled this audiobook You Can Coach because we believe that coaching is more about passing on what you've lived and holding others accountable in the process. Coaching doesn't require a higher degree, special talent, unique personality, or a particular spiritual gift. We believe, in fact, that God wants coaching to become a movement. We long to see the day in which every pastor has a coach and in turn is coaching someone else. In this audiobook, you'll hear three coaches who have successfully coached pastors for many years.

My favorite coach is John Wooden. During his time coaching college basketball with the UCLA Bruins, Wooden won 10 NCAA titles, including seven in a row from 1967 to 1973. His UCLA teams also had a record winning streak of 88 games, four perfect 30-0 seasons, and won 38 straight games in NCAA Tournaments. Yet, Wooden wasn’t overly focused on winning basketball games. He was more concerned about building character in his players. He stimulated his players to be successful in their school studies, attitudes, and behavior - which ultimately resulted in success on the basketball court.

Joel Comiskey está convencido que el objetivo principal de la iglesia es hacer discípulos que a su vez hagan discípulos. Pero, ¿cómo se supone que la iglesia deba hacer esto? Este libro responde a esa pregunta. El Dr. Comiskey explica cómo la reunión celular y la celebración (la reunión más grande) trabajan juntas en el proceso de hacer discípulos.

En Fundamentos Bíblicos para la Iglesia Basada en Células, el Dr. Comiskey establece la base bíblica para el ministerio de grupos pequeños. Comiskey primero examina la comunidad dentro de la Trinidad y la estructura familiar del grupo pequeño en el Antiguo Testamento. Luego explora cómo Jesús implementó la nueva familia de Dios a través de las comunidades estrechamente unidas que encontramos en las iglesias en las casas. Comiskey luego cubre ampliamente cómo la iglesia primitiva se reunía en las casas, levantó liderazgos desde el interior y reunió a las iglesias en las casas para celebrar.
