HAVE YOU CONSIDERED DISCIPLESHIP?

A “brief” or IN OUR CASE: “our stated task” is to be disciples (followers) of the Lord, to keep learning ourselves and to share the Word with others?

Jesus invited his disciples to follow Him (Mt. 4:19); to ‘yoke” with Him and to ‘learn of Him’ (Mt. 11:18-20). The Apostles’ lives encourage us to witness of His salvation (Acts 1:8; 4:12; 13:38-43), but we may need to encourage one another in taking effective steps in evangelism.

Paul and the traveling Gospel ‘Band of Evangelists’ planted churches together (Rom 16) and we may want to learn more about how they did this. Their example motivates our efforts — all, to God’s glory through Christ Jesus.

So, “Discipleship” is important for all of us. Having a “learner’s spirit” and learning from others – from one another, is at the core of Christian living and spiritual growth. Being available to one another is the “key”.

So, my challenge is: are you learning more about your Savior? Are you sharing, witnessing, planting? Are you discipling someone, or are you being discipled by another? Younger, older, a new believer or even the most mature – we all can learn, serve and submit one to the other (Eph. 5:21)’ while following our Savior.

“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” (1 Cor 11:1).

Judie & I are making every possible effort to manifest or show… the Lord’s “… strength to this generation” and the Lord’s “…power to every one that is to come.” Psalm 71:18b

Our travels to England, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Zimbabwe and the Philippines give us encouraging opportunities to serve the Lord. With weekly sermons, Bible-based lessons, spiritual training in counseling growth in the image of Christ, is truly possible.

Making time for discipleship and also planning weekly modular ZOOM course believers can be truly equipped to serve the Lord, to leading souls to be saved and to see believers being strengthened.
