Discipleship TRANSFORMS

Disciple = follower. It is a total life adjustment of everything to follow Jesus.

In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. Luke 14:33

Discipleship is a COMMUNITY

Discipleship demands reciprocal relationships with other devoted and like-minded people.

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:  Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,  Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. Luke 6:12-16

Discipleship MULTIPLIES

Discipleship is proven and authentic only when it produces more discipleship.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20
