“Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ”

from Complete Book of Discipleship by Bill Hull

Conformed to Christ’s Image

TRANSFORMED: mind, (believe what Christ believed) character, (live as Christ lived) relationships, (love as Christ loved) habits, (train as Christ trained) service, (minister as Christ ministered) and influence (lead as Christ led).

Stages of Discipleship

1.  Come and See — John 1:35-4;46

2.  Come and Follow me — Matt 4:19; Mark 1:16-18

3.  Come and Be with me — Mark 3:13-14

4.  Remain in me — John 15:5,7

From Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas — Types of Worship styles:

Naturalist, Sensate, Traditionalist, Ascetic, Activist, Caregiver, Enthusiast, Contemplative, Intellectual

Also see Lifeway’s Biblical Learning Model as a great example of how the discipleship process works (scroll to the second page to see it).

Another great reference for us as we seek to become more FDFC is the FBC Cove Statement of Faith, found at the FBC Website.

Finally, Pastor Mark has challenged us to read First Light as a church body, and we will be supporting that as a Connection Group.  See the links to First Light at this blog, or within this paragraph.  Share what you think with Pastor Mark and here if you like.

We are all in this process together.  Let’s all be Fully Devoted Followers of Christ!
