8. Discipleship

9. Disciple
Disciple - (math t s) orμαθητής ē ē
learner/student/follower

10. Everyone is a disciple
Great joy. He greets me like an old friend. And looks
after me. How I love him! Then he speaks. How small
I am.
When he speaks, all resistance breaks down before
the magical effect of his words. One can only be his
friend or his enemy. He divides the hot from the cold.
But luke-warmness he spits from his mouth.

11. Everyone is a disciple
Joseph Goebbels - Reich Minister of Propaganda
On 1 May 1945, the day after Hitler had committed suicide with his new
wife Eva Braun, Goebbels and his wife Magda killed their
six young children by giving them poison (in the form of cyanide pills or
capsules) in their sleep, then committed suicide themselves.

Discipleship - the journey/process of following

13. Following Jesus
The more I know Him, the more I love Him, the more
I love Him the more I obey Him, the more I obey Him
the more I become like Him, the more I become like
Him the more I know Him etc.

14. Contagious Discipleship
2 Timothy 2: 1-6 You then, my child, be strengthened
by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have
heard from me in the presence of many witnesses
entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others
also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ
Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits,
since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An
athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to
the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to
have the first share of the crops.

Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have
always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence
but much more in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who
works in you, both to will and to work for his good
pleasure.

22. God took our
discipleship personally.
Philippians 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves,
which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he
was in the form of God, did not count equality
with God a thing to be grasped,

23. God took our
discipleship
intentionally.
Philippians 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves,
which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was
in the form of God, did not count equality with God a
thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by
taking the form of a servant, being born in the
likeness of men. 8 And being found in human
form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death, even death on a cross.

24. God took our
discipleship relationally.
John 1:12 But to all who did receive Him, who
believed in His name, He gave the right to become
children of God,
