JesusWalk Bible Study Forum: Q2. Like a Son with Father - JesusWalk Bible Study Forum

Q2. (2:22) Who has come alongside you to teach you? What potential leader in your church needs someone to come alongside them? Do you have a person or two that you are mentoring "as a son with a father" or "a daughter with a mother"?

Q2. (2:22) Who has come alongside you to teach you?
I am so blessed that I have sisters that are older than I that love the Lord and worked in the church for many years. They in turn came back home they where full of zeal and love for the Lord Jesus Christ and in turn took time to tell me about him and how to obey his word and work for his glory. I had many Pastors that helped me along the way to become who I am today. If it was not for some of them I would never have grown to become who I am in Jesus. I am nothing without the Lord but with him I know because of his word I can do all things and nothing is impossible with Jesus. Thank you Pastor Parker from my young years and all the others that have gave me so much help. My sisters Vada, Eva, and Jean for the wonderful way they showed me it is not a chore to serve God for a pleasure. Thank you Jesus for all those you have placed in my life to lead me closer to you.

What potential leader in your church needs someone to come alongside them?
Every young person male or female I see as a potential leader. They are all blessed and have so many different talents. I know that the next generation will serve God without great hope and love for they are being loved and taught how to love and show love. I love each one of them I cannot name them you do not have enough room on this page. Thank you Jesus.

Do you have a person or two that you are mentoring "as a son with a father" or "a daughter with a mother"?

I have many younger friends some male mostly female because of me being a woman they come to me for advice and I love them and try to help them always with the word so I know it is the right thing. If they have problems I can't find in the word we pray till God shows us what is right and so far he has always given me a scripture to help them. I want to thank him again for those that I love and try to help, Mary, Paul, Laura and many others all who come asking I want to help find the answer in the word of God. I love them all.

I had not had alot of teaching till i came online. Even though I been saved a long time.My parents were christians but didn't really talk to us about it. But a lady friend online has taught me so much that i know i couldn't learn on my own. And I go into a church room at night and i have learned alot from them as well. Its good to have someone that knows how to teach that you will learn and grow.

I would love to mentor someone, but right now i really don't have anyone. I know it has helped me alot. Also know i have a long ways to go.

I was raised Catholic. I went to church weekly and was brought up in Catholic schools. My Mother's example was of love and forgiveness. While she still remains a Catholic, I became a member of an Assemblies of God church. I am currently mentoring my older sister.

When we fist became believers an elder in the church we attended started a Bible study just for John and I. Even when we left to go back overseas that Bible study continued for other new believers.
I don't really have a church that I regularly attend now.
Any mentoring right now is mostly in my family and even that I am rather hesitant to push to hard.

God Bless!

Mary Beth McFall brought me to know the Lord--not just as my savior, but also personally as my Lord! She has since gone to be with Him, but her influence lingers on.
Yes, the pastor, but he does not listen to anyone, nor does he see that not visiting the sick and elderly is neglect that harms the witness of our Lord.
Yes. A young lady in Far East Russia that had served with us as our interpreter and her husband are going through terrible times that is trying their belief in the love of God! She reached out to me, and God is enabling me to reach out to her. Please pray for Lena and Sasha!

Our church has accountability partners and I facilitate a 12-step recovery group. Our purpose is to mentor our new members and walk beside them as they grow in the Lord. We all need that mentor in our lives that can keep us walking the straight and narrow road.

Lesson 5 Q 2
(a) The people who have come alongside of me to teach me: A Sunday School Superintendent; two clergy from my early years in my walk with God; both my parents; my husband and son. Also I am attending a church at night (because there is no service at night in the church I am a member of) and the Mrs. Pastor is a great example to me.
(b) In the church I attend at night there are a few young people that are being trained for youth pastors. They need someone to come alongside of them.
© No, I do not have anyone that I am mentoring at the present time. My church that I am a member of do not practice mentoring but the church I attend at night are really involved with taking people under their wings. Who knows, someday God may place me in that position. I know I can mentor without my church. Amen?

JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE BOOKS, WITH ALL THOSE TEACHERS, JUST WAITING FOR US TO OPEN THEM, AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually was brought to the Lord by a dear friend ( who was a stranger at the time) who I worked with at Friendlys, she lead me to the Lord and then proceeded to mentor me, provided me with tons fo books to read to encourage me to grow me. She provided me with Music to encourage and hep me to worship in that way. She was (IS) a wonderful sister in the Lord and friend.
I have to say though that in the 5 almost 6 years I've been saved, the recent year has been probably THE MSOT growth because of my friend and mentor. She is no hold barred , she challenges me and speaks truth to me all in the same time she listens and embraces me.
SHe is a living testimony of what a woman of God truly is, someone I'd like to end up just like.
She is the closest thing to a living example of Christ I think I've ever met.
I am in the proces of beginning to mentor two yound girls I know who just recently received Jesus and I pray that I can be to them what my friend Sue has been to me.

Over the years, the Lord has sent different people at different times. I will always be grateful for advice many years ago from an older woman in my church who was a fellow pianist and helped me grow in my earliest years of church service. Another woman who taught a Bible study that I attended for over decade made a huge impact on my desire for the mind of Christ and helped me discover a love for teaching the Word myself. A couple of particularly close Christian friends have helped encourage me through the many stages of marriage and parenting.

Right now, I teach a Sunday School class of young single “20-something” women. As I invest my heart and my time with them, we are developing friendship and trust that is giving me opportunity to impact their lives. It thrills – and humbles – me when they call to share a problem or ask advice. I pray that I can have the kind of godly influence on them that others have had on me. A true honor for me is the privilege of being a mentor and friend to my own two grown children. Through sharing books, music, and almost daily contact with e-mail devotions together, we talk about most anything and point each other to Christ.

I think Paul and Timothy have clearly demonstrated the practical importance of supporting one another as we journey through life trying to live in the Word. It's wonderful to be a part in helping someone else walk faithfully.

Thank you for this question....it has made me realize how blessed I have been.

Q2. (2:22) Who has come alongside you to teach you? What potential leader in your church needs someone to come alongside them? Do you have a person or two that you are mentoring "as a son with a father" or "a daughter with a mother"?

Those of you who have had or have a mentor or an accountability partner are so fortunate. I have served in many leadership roles in our church and in Christian organizations for many years and have often wished for somebody to come aside of me. Leadership can be a very lonely position. I thank God for a Godly father and grandfather who have helped me, trained me and set examples for me. I thank God for Godly men who came into my life while I was in high school. But, through the years help, support, and encouragement have often been nonexistent - especially from pastoral staff and other church leaders, much to my regret.

All leaders - as well as potential leaders - in your church need someone to come alongside of them. If you can't be that one for them, then pray that they might be fortunate to find that special someone or group. If not, they could end up frustrated, lonely, discouraged and maybe even defeated.

I am trying to mentor my sons and grandchildren - as did my father and grandfather for me. But I pray that they will find other Godly men to come alongside them and mentor and support them.

This very ministry (Joyful Heart) is a mentor to me, helping me to search
God's word so that I may contribute to the forum. Two new board members
need people to come alongside them. I did have the opportunity to teach
a new believer's class to be a mentor to them.

These are difficult questions. I never had anyone come alongside me to teach me. My "teacher" was a very sick man who taught me many things. Yes, God put him there and I am very blessed.

Is there a potential leader in the church for me to mentor? Some have attached themselves to me, and as we spend time together sharing who we are and our Jesus, I do seem to have some effect on them and how they operate. I just put forward how I see things, and they seem to take it on - not because I'm any great leader, but because it's God's Word. They also keep me accountable and bless me deeply.

[color=purple]I have been very fortunate to have many mentors in my life. I was an athiest for a long period in my youth and God always put somebody in my life to change my way of thinking. At times I was very angry about that. The minister across the street, my college phys. ed. teacher, teachers at ORU. I could list a hundred people through out my life starting at the age of 14. God had blessed me with many people to shape and mold me into what God wants me to be. From being a devout athiest to a full-fledged minister was quite a trip.

Our churches Lead Usher has much potential to do more of God's work but is a little timid about taking the first step. As Lead Usher he is responsible for coordinating the ushers duties each week. He greets everyone that comes through our doors with a smile and is very knowledgable in regards to what the Bible says about service to others. He responds well to direction. Our deacon has taken him under his wing to teach him and help him become a leader in our church.

Yes I do. I am mentoring as a church member to a person who serves the Lord. (Not as a Minister). He has not taken the giant leap to belief but we talk about the finer points of God and have "arguments" together. He has taught me a thing or two about how to reach an analytical and extremely skeptical person. He keeps coming back to church so with the Lord's help I am doing something right.

[font="Geneva"]As odd as it may sound, it was God's prevenient grace and a radio ministry that stirred my heart and convicted me of my need for Christ. Since then I have sought instruction through many channels. In fact, I am that “potential leader” that needs someone to come alongside to guide and instruct them.

[color=green]“Make Your ways known to me, Lord; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I wait for You all day long.” (Psa 25:4-5)[/color]

With that background, I have been involved in mentoring a 6th grade youth who was seeking to declare his life to the Lord. I also have parenteral obligations to foster my child's love of the Lord, and to model my life as a beacon of love and hope for God.

Q2. (2:22) Who has come alongside you to teach you?
I have joined a very good Bible Study group at my Church. I’ve learned a lot from the teacher and others in the group.

What potential leader in your church needs someone to come alongside them?
I think that anyone taking a leadership position for the first time needs help from someone more experienced.

Do you have a person or two that you are mentoring "as a son with a father" or "a daughter with a mother"?
No, not at this time.

Over the years I have had many good teachers. One at the present time is a real good friend that I can share anything with and know that it is taken to the throne room in serious prayer. I don't know how spiritual some are in church so I just pray for them all. Some I call out their names and some I don't but God knows them all and their needs at that time. I am not mentoring at this time.

One of the most profound teachers I have had I never met and that is Corrie Ten Boom. In person God sent John and Anneke Mol.

I see Gary as a potential leader that the men in our church are coming alongside very nicely.

I have a lady that God has blessed me with in mentoring but right now I have three children in the church. Two who have been taken from a drug abusing mother and have no fathers, and one who has a wonderful single mom but absentee father.
