Discipleship: Growing to Maturity
Currently, the Discipleship team is made up of leaders from the Children’s Team, Youth Team, Men’s Team, Women’s Team, Nursery, and The Most Excellent Way (TMEW).
I would imagine you will hear the same thing each week from our Team Leaders, we can always use more help.
People willing and able to serve in the area of discipleship.
And when I say that, we all probably understand what “willing and able” people are, but do we truly understand what discipleship is?
Today, let’s examine the framework God has given us to accomplish that mission.
We find it in
The Greek word translated as “disciple” means “to be a pupil”.
Doesn’t that bring things a little clearer into focus?
We had classes called discipleship because we were encouraging people to be a pupil, a student.
I get it now.
But wait, Jesus didn’t call us to BE disciples, it is assumed if you take the Great Commission to heart that you already ARE a disciple.
Instead, Jesus commanded us to MAKE disciples.
To MAKE pupils.
To MAKE students.
Do you see?
You may not be a teacher in the formal sense of the word, but if you belong to Jesus, you are called to teach.
After all, how can you make a student unless you begin to teach them?
Yet, I’m sure you would agree with me that none of us wants to have a little following of students who are intently looking to us for the answer.
John the Baptist gave us the answer to that in
We are doing a good job at making disciples when we are pointing others to Jesus.
When we are decreasing because Jesus is increasing.
Let me show you what I mean.
Call someone to walk across the front however they please.
Then, show them the cross and lead them to it.
That is discipleship.
It is showing people how to get to Jesus.
