Any church will--and should--talk about how important discipleship is for Christian communities. Unfortunately, in most churches discipleship has been reduced to bible study alone. There is so much more that goes into spiritual maturity and throughout this series we will be looking at the pathways and practices that go into creating a mature disciple.
Disciple Part 1: An Introduction (10-15-2017)
The invitation to become like Jesus is given clearly by Paul in 1 Corinthians when he asks new believers to follow his example as he looks to follow the example of Jesus. This implies that this relationship is critical to become like Jesus and we have a target, a goal, something we are aiming for as we take steps to look less like ourselves, and more like Christ.
Disciple Part 2: Scripture and Prayer (10-22-2017)
We begin our look at the pathways and practices that lead to becoming a spiritually mature disciple with Scripture and Prayer. While some of the easiest to understand, they can also be two of the most difficult to practice faithfully.
Disciple Part 3: Rest and Service (10-29-2017)
We continue our look at the pathways and practices that lead to becoming a spiritually mature disciple with Rest and Service. While these have traditionally been presented as opposing forces, the truth is they are intended to work together.
Disciple Part 4: Gathering and Reaching (11-05-2017)
We continue our look at the pathways and practices that lead to becoming a spiritually mature disciple with Gathering and Reaching. We must find a healthy balance between these two as pursuing either one exclusively at the expense of the other leads to an unhealthy place.
Disciple Part 5: Stewardship and Generosity (11-12-2017)
We continue our look at the pathways and practices that lead to becoming a spiritually mature disciple with Stewardship and Generosity. Join us as we talk about what it means to be Carriers of the Gospel and Creatives of the Kingdom.
Disciple Part 6: Worship and Fasting (11-19-2017)
We continue our look at the pathways and practices that lead to becoming a spiritually mature disciple with Worship and Fasting. Join us as we talk about how we find health in sacrificing the nonessential and realigning our focus.
Disciple Part 7: Relationship and Accountability (11-26-2017)
We conclude our look at the pathways and practices that lead to becoming a spiritually mature disciple with Relationship and Accountability. Join us as we talk about the needs we have as we live out the gospel and how those needs are met in biblical community.
