    Discipleship

    Introduction Of –
    Discipleship
    Introduction
    • As it is written in the book of Ephesians, “His intent was that now,
    THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be
    made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly
    realms.” Eph 3:10
    • The church does not exist for itself. It exists in the midst
    of a lost world, not to condemn those in such a state but
    to shine like stars, to give out to each generation the
    Word of life (Phil 2:15-16), and to declare the praises of
    Him who called us out of darkness into His wonderful
    light (1 Pet 2:9). To whom are we to declare His praises?
    To our families. To our brothers and sisters in Christ. To
    the non-Christian world around us.
    Discipleship
    • “All authority has been given to Me in heaven
    and earth. Therefore Go and make Disciples of
    all the nations, Baptizing them in the name of
    the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
    Teaching them to observe all that I
    commanded you; and lo, I am with you
    always, even to the end of the age.” -- Jesus
    Christ (Mt.28:18-20)
