God calls us to be disciples that make disciples. Just as
Jesus poured into his disciples, developing maturity in
character ability and heart so we seek to do the same. Much
of the discipling that happens at Rez is not in a formal
setting. It mostly happens unaware where Christ-like
character is rubbed off on others as they serve side by
side.
"Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of
God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of
the Ruler of all." Job 5:17
"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors
and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all
reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of
God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of
the fulness of Christ." Ephesians 4:11-13
As Jesus invites you to grow in your knowledge, heart and
character in following Him, please embrace many different
opportunities to balance your growth:
Studying God’s Word
-Bible studies
-Personal time in God’s word
-Listening to sermons
-Teaching God’s word (don’t we learn the most when we are
the teacher)
If you have new ideas about helping people grow into
maturity in faith please consider that God may desire to
work through you to blaze a new trail in discipling others.
So don't be too secretive with your ideas!
