Jesus gave believers the “Great ComMISSION” to make disciples. This is a LIFEstyle, fellowship, and process of helping others “grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ.” (Eph. 4:15). It’s laying down one’s life for another in love, like Jesus (Jn. 15:13). Maturity is realized through reproduction. If a believer lives like Jesus, and is reproducing other believers that live like Jesus — that’s a mature believer — a member of the bride of Christ. (Rev. 19:7-8).

Topics touched on in Part 2:

– Jesus the Groom — the church as the bride.

– Discipleship is about Jesus — not just “teaching stuff”

– Philippians 3 — Pressing towards maturity in Christ
– trading the temporal for the eternal
– standing strong through the storms
– Christ’s body (the believers) follow the instructions from the head (Jesus)

– Mark 4 – Parable of the Sower
– Being good soil / not getting distracted
– Cherishing God’s Word

– Luke 14:16-35 – Jesus first. A believer’s eternal family is those who do the will of God.
– A disciple forsakes all to Jesus

Discipleship is about embodying Christ and making His LIFE known. This is every believers LIFE Mission.
