Follow: Every Person a Disciple

 Discipleship – The commitment to be an authentic follower of Jesus Christ. (Luke 9:23ff)

steps:

1. Commit

  • Faith – I choose to place my trust in God, in His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  
  • Baptism – I will dedicate my life to Jesus Christ by outwardly confessing my trust in him as the savior of the world and by being buried and raised with him through the waters of baptism.

2. Engage

  • In Personal Practices – I will engage in spiritual practices and develop habits to nurture my love for God and for others.
    • Private Prayer and Private Integrity
    • Love and Concern for Neighbor
    • Forgiveness and Tenderness of Heart
  • In Worship – I will regularly engage in private and communal worship with other believers as I seek to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
  • In Community – I will regularly engage with the body of Christ, in learning, in fellowship, and in sharing life together. I will seek out meaningful community in a group devoted to mutual encouragement, support, service, and discipleship.
  • In Service – I will regularly engage my gifts to serve others in my neighborhood, school, work, church, and home. I will use my spiritual gifts to bring others closer to Jesus Christ. (I Pet. 4:10)
  • In Stewardship – I will give generously and sacrificially as a way of honoring God with my finances.

3. Embrace

  • The way of Jesus – to mature in faith is to align my will with God’s will. By embracing the way of Jesus, I learn how to see the world and my place in it as His disciple. (Gal. 4)
  • Christ-centered choices – in my personal life, my family life, and in my occupation, I will make decisions consistent with a posture that is obedient to God, sacrificial, and others-centered.
