Home   >   Discipleship for Jesus

Welcome! We are excited for you to begin your discipleship Journey!

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to live at their highest level? We believe that these individuals are experiencing a personal relationship with Jesus and utilizing their spiritual gifts to the fullest. This is all part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ! 

​

Discipleship is an opportunity to learn how beautifully and wonderfully made you really are! (Psalm 139:14).

​

There are so many places to begin! We first encourage you to pray and ask for guidance! Second, we encourage you to find a mentor at your local Church to assist you! Third, you can begin by exploring your spiritual gifts using the "Gifted Path" app. This app will guide you through a personal discovery of what it means to find, amplify, and deploy the spiritual gifts God has given you!

More information on being a Disciple of Jesus Christ!

M. J. Wilkins, “Disciples and Discipleship,” in Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, Second Edition, ed. Joel B. Green, Jeannine K. Brown, and Nicholas Perrin (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2013), 205.

No matter how we refer to the call to know Jesus Christ, the process is a wonderful blend of loving, learning, and leading others and being led to recognize God at the center of our universe. 

In the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, we find a better definition of discipleship: "As Jesus’ ministry unfolds, he begins to establish a form of discipleship that is unlike the rabbis. With Jesus, the initiative lay with his call (Mt 4:19; 9:9; Mk 1:17; 2:14; cf. Lk 5:10–11, 27–28) and his choice (Jn 15:16) of those who would be his disciples. The response to the call involves recognizing and believing in Jesus’ identity (Jn 2:11; 6:68–69), obedience to His summons (Mk 1:18, 20), and counting the cost of full allegiance to Him (Lk 14:25–28; Mt 19:23–30). His calling is the beginning of something new. It means losing one’s old life (Mk 8:34–37; Lk 9:23–25) and finding new life in the family of God through obeying the will of the Father (Mt 12:46–50)." (1) 

There are many metaphors for Discipleship, such as:

 

  • Sojourners of the Dispersion (1 Peter 1:1)

  • Walking in the Light (1 John 1:7)

  • The Christian Life (1 Cor. 7:24)

  • Pleasing Christ (2 Cor. 5:9)

  • Drawing near to God (James 4:8-10)

  • Fellow-Workers with the Truth (3 John 8)

  • A Prosperous Soul (3 John 2)

  • ‘Walk in the Spirit’ (Gal. 5:16)
