Discipleship

From SPARK

Unpublished

The dynamic approach to discipleship is encouraged in God’s message. The focus is on Christians growing into the likeness of Jesus Christ. The intent is the formation of a godly life and character along with a basic knowledge of the Bible. By way of comparison, in the classroom context, knowledge or information is the focus, while in the discipling context, formation, i.e. principles, values, vision, and goals, along with knowledge becomes the focus. On the one hand, the teaching approach tells us that Jesus is Lord. On the other hand the discipleship approach helps us to experience the Lordship of Jesus in our daily lives.

The fruit of discipleship is seen after you have invested time in a relationship and let the pigment of your life impact the life of your disciples (as you depend on the infilling Holy Spirit).
