Discipleship

---

Life - Truth - Life Format

Our goal is to prosper in prayer, improve in evangelism, to contribute to the Church (globally and locally), and to forbear as brothers and sisters in Christ.

• Starting Point
  • Colossians 1:28-29
    • "Proclaim and Present" the truth of Jesus Christ to others. 
• The Church is the basic discipler of believers. 
  • Believers are baptized into the Church where discipling and fellowship can begin. 
  • Pastors/Elders disciple members by teaching God's Word (2 Timothy 4:5, Romans 10:17).
    • Discipled members disciple others.
    • We are a congregation of members responsible for one another. 

In the Church, mature disciples teach in Word and deed to draw in new or immature believers (2 Tim 2:1-2).

In the Home, parents teach in Word and deed to draw in their children. 

• How to Disciple
  • Choose someone to disciple.
  • Have clear aims.
    • Set realistic and effective goals centered around Scripture to teach the person and work of Christ.
  • Pay the cost.
    • Discipling means sacrifce; time, energy, hospitality. It is worth it and it is our calling (Matthew 28:19).
