Are you ready to live a life that reflects Jesus more and more each day? In this program, Chip shares with us the blueprint to becoming a Christian who really lives like a Christian. Join us as we study the life of Jesus and hone in on 3 essential practices He modeled–that will transform our faith and deepen our connection to God.
Main Points
Introduction:
- How can we address the discipleship deficit?
I. The problem
- There is a need for discipleship
II. The invitation of Jesus
- Jesus invites us to a life of abundance and purpose.
III. We must come to Jesus and learn from Him if we are to experience the life He promises
- We must take His Yoke and learn from Him.
IV. Coming to Jesus is an event and a lifelong process of learning to follow His example and His teaching
- The event = salvation - John 3:16
- The process = discipleship - Matthew 4:19
- The person = the path - John 14:6
V. Jesus practiced “the way” of living in dependency on the Spirit and submission to the Father
- He came Before God
- He did life In Community
- He was On Mission 24/7
VI. Jesus taught His disciples what was required to continually experience the supernatural life He gave them
- Abiding in Christ - John 15:1-11
- Loving each other - John 15:12-17
- Witnessing to the world - Matthew 28:18-20
VII. Until we grasp “the heart of God” and the why of discipleship, we will be destined to methods and programs that lead to discouragement, legalism, or self-righteousness.
- Because of what Jesus did we can: know Him, love Him and serve Him.
