Disciples Making Disciples
How often do you think about discipleship? How much of your ambition is aimed at becoming a better disciple of Jesus? How much time do you invest in training to be like Jesus?
As a congregation we describe our mission as making disciples who make disciples. We set out this year to abide with Jesus as essential to growing. Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15) We are the kind of people who focus less on lesser things and more on greater things – the greatest thing we can focus on is to become more like Jesus.
The New Testament uses the word ‘disciple’ 273 times. Jesus talks about making disciples constantly. So, how are we doing? This question actually boils down to another: How are you doing?
To discover more about your journey and to dig deeper into discipleship I recommend this wonderful sermon by Jon Tyson.
Blessings as you grow.
