Discipleship: October 2010

Profile

Discipleship helps people engage in intentional community with the purpose of helping one another be more like Christ.
Discipleship means taking the gospel (the good news about Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross) and applying it to everyday life experiences like personal growth, serving in the church, driving kids to school, managing a team at work, raising children, and working in the yard.
Discipleship lived out is welcoming, discovering, learning, connecting, becoming a member, engaging in small groups, finding leadership roles, and serving in the church and local community.

On Repentance

We need to realize that while God’s acceptance of each Christian believer is perfect from the start, our repentance always needs to be extended further as long as we are in this world. Repentance means turning from as much as you know of your sin to give as much as you know of yourself to as much as you know of your God, and as our knowledge grows at these three points so our practice of repentance has to be enlarged.

J. I. Packer, Keep in Step with the Spirit, p. 104
