The Journey of Making Disciples in the Local Church
Pastor Ken Lupton
The Disciple’s Path is a purposeful journey toward maturity in Christ.
The local church is meant to put people on that pathway.
1) The Disciple’s Journey is Progressive.
2) The Disciple’s Journey is Disciplined.
3) The Journey of Discipleship is Relational.
4) The Disciple's Journey is Replicable.
God's will for our lives is not only that we make converts, but that we make disciples. It's not only that we see people born again, but that we see them matured into disciple-making Christians.
Are you willing to be a disciplemaker, a guide, to take someone a few steps behind you on this fabulous journey of walking with Christ?
