Discipleship

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. – Luke 6:23

Why Discipleship

Scripture sets the pattern that people are intended to live in relationship with one another, and the New Testament sets parameters for forming these relationships within the covenant community of the Church. Paul instructs the church in Crete to create relationships where young men learn from older men and young women learn from older women (Titus 2:1-7).

Following Jesus for the whole of life as His disciple is how we express our faith and live repentantly. To do this, we need other followers of Christ to help, encourage, correct, and love us along the way. In turn, we do the same for others. In other words, disciples give generously to others of their faith to help them follow Christ as we do. Everything in this Discipleship Guide is meant to help you embody the core values, grow in the five outcomes, and teach others to do the same.

This is not just about completing a course or simply gaining knowledge for its own sake. This is about participating in what God desires to be done in you, His people, and His world, soli deo gloria…for the glory of God alone! God is moving history toward a fixed point where every knee will bow and tongue will confess Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). As you and a partner walk the following journey, you are not only living out the vision of Restoration Church by growing as a disciple who is experiencing the restoration of the Gospel, but you are also a tangible example and participant in the mission God is doing around the world!

Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21
