Discipleship

Helping one another to learn more about Christ and to connect that knowledge with our everyday lives so that the life of Christ is being characteristically displayed.

In Matthew 28:19-20, Christ instructs us to make disciples and to teach them to put into practice all the things of Christ. Every believer is given that directive, and every believer is capable of leading another believer in what God has been teaching them. We have the privilege to be used by God in the transformative process of becoming more mature in Christ “so that the life of Christ might be displayed in our mortal body.”

On this page, you will find materials that can support and direct you in that effort of being discipled and discipling others. You can have a front-row seat in watching God at work in the lives of others in simple obedience to His Word.

A life lived out from a grace perspective instead of a legalistic or license foundation. Do I understand the admonition to grow in the grace of the Lord and am I pursuing grace and being taught by it?

2 Peter 3:18
Titus 2:11-13

An accurate understanding of what the Gospel is and how faith in the finished work of Christ leads to salvation. Do I have a clear gospel understanding? What am I trusting in for salvation? Do I question if I can lose my salvation or whether I am actually saved? We should also be able to communicate the gospel to others.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

A right understanding of what the scriptures tell us about our position and identity in Christ. Do I personally understand and appropriate these truths and are they impacting the way that I live on a daily basis? How could/should positional truth affect the way that I live?

Ephesians 1-3
Colossians 2:10-13

A recognition that God’s Word can and should speak into our lives, having the final say over our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Therefore, I benefit from studying it on a regular basis, rightly dividing and interpreting it so that I may become more mature in Christ.

2 Timothy 3:16

A proper view and understanding of the nature and character of God. How a person views God is probably the most important thing about them. Our thinking about Him will inform what we believe about Him, impacting how we live. Does my view of God come from a biblical understanding or is it just a perception I have about God based on my feelings or experiences? Does my view accurately reflect who He really is, and am I growing in knowing Him more and more?

Philippians 3:8-10
Ephesians 1:15-19
2 Peter 3:18 

An understanding of the ministry that the Spirit of God has in my life. This is paramount to my growth and walk. Being led by Him, relying on His empowerment, yielding to Him, and responding to His conviction are all examples of how this foundation can impact my life.

Romans 8:14
1 Corinthians 12:13
Galatians 5:16

A high regard for the body of Christ, the Church, and our place in the body. Is there a demonstrated desire to be used by God to impact others and for others to impact my life? Seeing this value at work necessitates time spent within the family of God, using our particular gifts and talents to build one another up in the faith.  

Ephesians 4:11-16
1 Corinthians 12:4-11

A reverence of God and a life lived for His glory.  Worship is an essential response to God’s nature, which is for His glory and our good. Getting our heart’s attention off ourselves and on to Him is one way we describe worship. We desire to see this become more characteristically expressed within the life of a disciple.

John 4:23-24
Romans 12:1

This booklet was designed for someone who has never discipled another person but is willing to with a little guidance. Its intent is to expose the disciple to various aspects of the Christian life and to guide conversation(s) around each topic that can help provide further context between the mentor and disciple so that that specific truth can be incorporated into the disciple's life.
