Discipleship Services
The teaching unit of our ministry
mainly focuses on making disciples. Making disciples is a process that may take
an extended period of time. It is more than transferring the right knowledge
about God and Jesus. It is relationship and instructing people how to know Jesus
and be like him and to obey God. So, discipleship is the process of learning to
love and follow Jesus and becoming more like him in attitudes and actions.
Elements of Discipleship
Discipleship is the process of making
disciples, and has four important elements, such as the Word of God, the Holy Spirit,
Fellowship, and Mission.
- The
word of God: The word of God is the living
two edged sword by which God transforms the lives of disciples into the
likeness of Christ. The word of God makes the disciples to know what to
believe, how to think, and what teachings are to obey.
- Holy
Spirit: Holy Spirit is one of the
Godhead who transforms the lives of disciples and works through them so
that they become more and more like Jesus.
- Fellowship: The Disciples of Jesus focused on relationships one another
to help others and to make disciples.
- Mission: Mission is a priority to disciples in order to fulfill the
great commission. In mission disciples make others the disciples of Christ
and grow to be more and more like Jesus.
The
first step to discipleship is conversion followed by a series of maturing
processes. Disciple-making involves a maturing process while evangelism is
simply announcing the good news.
