There’s conversion but then there’s the training ground…
…how do we live?
Today we’re going to talk about embracing opportunities for discipleship in our Christian lives. What is it and how does it happen? Discipleship is not just a concept; it should be an integral part of our lives as believers and it requires vulnerability, accountability, and intentional sacrifice. Most importantly, discipleship requires us to have our eyes focused on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Some questions we’ll be looking at today:
What is a disciple?
How do we participate in discipleship alongside other believers?
Why is it so difficult for us to disciple/be disciples if it’s supposed to be “the norm” for us?
How d we seek out discipleship when things are good? When things are bad?
How does “disciple-making” happen?
How can I mentor someone spiritually?
How is sharing the Gospel part of discipleship?
Let’s remember that discipleship isn’t just a program or a checklist; it’s an opportunity to walk alongside other Christians, to get, and to give help as we grow closer to the Lord in every way.
Make the effort to be open and to be real. Discipleship isn’t about putting on a facade – it’s about being vulnerable and allowing others to walk alongside you. Don’t worry if you feel nervous – that’s perfectly normal! Look around at mature Believers in your vicinity and examine their lives. Don’t hesitate to ask the Lord to connect you with the right people who can guide and support you on your journey.
