INTRODUCTION
The Journey
Know God
Find Freedom
Discover Purpose
Make a Difference
The Journey is the discipleship process at Living Hope Church.
But why do we need to be discipled?
Can’t we just believe the Gospel, that is, take our “Gos-Pill”, and be all better, and get back to our lives?
First, because Jesus commanded it.
He didn’t suggest it; infer it; casually mention it; He commanded it.
If He’s the Lord of your life, discipleship is not optional.
He’s not savoir, if He’s no Lord.
In an age of quick hook-ups and friends with benefits, He’s alternatively looking for a long term, eternal, intimate, covenant relationship.
True Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship.
A relationship with Christ and His church.
Second: Simply embracing the Gospel, and being born again, does not produce the fulness of Holy Spirit in your life.
At times you will meet born-again believers are who are incredibly selfish and broken.
It is only when we master the kingdom keys of discipleship that the renewing of our minds in the word and knowledge of God produces the fruit and Character of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

μαθητεύω mathētĕuō, math-ayt-yoo´-o; from 3101; intrans.
to become a pupil; trans.
to disciple, i.e. enrol as scholar:—be disciple, instruct, teach.
It’s a process into which we enroll.
It’s described as running in a race.
No one wins races without disciplined training.

STEP ONE - KNOW GOD
The Opportunity of a Lifetime
It’s not enough to just know about God, you need to intimately know Him.
To seek his face, not just His hand.
To deeply understand His heart and His love.
And then allow that love to change your heart.
Again, it’s not knowing about God, it’s knowing God.

3. be familiar with, learn to know, through personal experience
4. understand, come to know, perceive;
5. acknowledge, to indicate that one does know;
6. have sexual intercourse;
When the angel appeared to Mary, she said how can I conceive?
I have not known a man this intimately.
It speaks of an intimacy unto living fruitfulness that remains.
So how can I know that I know God?
First let me qualify this question.
As we saw earlier, discipleship, that is, the process of coming to an intimate knowledge of God, is exactly that; it’s a process.
No two people experience that process in exactly the same way.
Having said that, there are certain indicators of growth.
The Bible calls them Fruits of the Spirit.
The more that the Love of God has healed and changed a heart, the more good fruit becomes evident in a person’s life.
Do you have a desire to know God?
Do you spend time in His word?
Do you talk to God?
If so, how?
How does your demeanor compare with 1 Corinthians 13?
Would you like to begin The Journey with us today?
Or, maybe you begin the Journey, but you can see that you haven’t travelled very far.
Would you like to commit to going all the way with Jesus?
