Contest will stay open until midnight on Friday, March 9th. I will announce the winner on Saturday. Here is your question:
If you had to explain discipleship to someone, in 20 words or less, how would you do it?
I would tell them that it is intentionally building a relationship with another individual that may be less mature spiritually than you are with the aim to show them what it means to live the Christ-like life each Christian should. It mean a regular contact with the individual as they intentionally deny their desires and follow Christ daily.
The PROCESS of embracing the life and ethic of Christ because of the hope laid out in the Gospel.
Discipleship is building relationships to ensure trust to share truth. Intentional teaching of God’s word applied daily.
Ignite and nurture people’s passion for God.
Helping others to live, learn and grow as followers and students of Christ.
Intentional relationships through modeling Christian principles.
Discipleship is a Christian pouring his or her life into someone with the intention of helping them grow in Christ.
