Christian or Disciple?

Jesus never called people to be Christians.

What is a disciple?

Disciple definition: In the original Greek, the word disciple is mathese, it means apprentice.

Rory's non-binding definition for everyday Christian: Becoming more like Jesus every day.

Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.

-Dallas Willard

  

What is the goal of the church?

  

Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'

-Matthew 28:18-20

  

Methods change, the message doesn't. Methods might change, the goal doesn't.  

  

Remember: We are not saved by what we do… We are saved by what He has done.
