Discipleship

What Foundational Discipleship Focuses Should I Pass On To Others I Disciple?

How To...

  1. Pray to God and intercede for others.

  2. Take in the Word of God: Read, Study, Memorize and Meditate on the Word of God.

  3. Grow in the practices and habits of Spiritual Disciplines that promote self-discipline and align you in the pursuit of godliness, as you give the Spirit time and space for spiritual growth and personal transformation.

  4. Worship God in spirit and in truth, as a lifestyle.

  5. Have regular Quiet Times with God (Daily Devotionals/Facetime) to deepen your relationship with Him, grow in knowledge of His ways, and to refresh/renew/strengthen your body/soul/spirit in the Lord.

  6. Regularly take an Inside Look to tend to the soil of your heart, with Holy Spirit's help.

  7. Hear from God - recognize His voice, know, and carry out His will (obedience).

  8. Develop Outreach Tools to to enhance your ability to minister to the people we encounter outside of church. These include: Sharing your faith through a conversion testimony, stories of God at work in your daily life, and a presentation of the Gospel.

  9. Value and engage in Christian Fellowship/Community for mutual encouragement, loving accountability and spiritual growth.

  10. Minister out of your sense of Call and God-Shape that you've been given and have embraced (talents, skills, spiritual gifts, personality type, and life experiences) and out of your personal availability to be Spirit Led.
