Discipleship & the Great Commission | The A-Life (Week 2)

The A-Life is a life of continuous discipleship. A disciple is anyone learning to follow Jesus. As you follow Jesus, you grow to become more like Him. You can’t live abundantly if you’re not taking your next steps as a disciple. The purpose of the Church and all believers is to be disciples who make disciples. It’s called the Great Commission. Discipleship in the Great Commission involves two things: Reaching: Sharing the gospel through evangelism. Teaching: Helping people learn to follow Jesus through discipleship. We’re all called to reach people before we can teach people. You cannot fulfill the Great Commission if you’re not serious about reaching and teaching. The nature of discipleship is giving away what you have already received. Discipleship is not about knowledge. It’s about obedience. You teach what you know, but discipleship is not the transfer of knowledge, it’s the transfer of maturity. The mark of a mature disciple is a life lived for the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. When you love God, you love what He values. God will use any church and any person to reach the world that is greatly committed to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. You know the will of God for your life through God’s Word which is written for you. Discipleship is learning to say “yes” to the Good Shepherd. You grow to spiritual maturity as a disciple when you learn to value what God values. Ready to grow as a disciple? Join Pastor Phil as he continues our series on the A-Life Discipleship Journey.
