Well, how do they learn to study w/the H.S. ? — that brings me 2 the next point:b. Discipleship is a partnership with other Jesus Followers1. Show ‘em how to studyi. teach ‘em how to study the scriptures so they can learn to fellowship w/Jesus themselves- but wait theirs more!2. Share Life togetheri.
