“Come, follow me.” —Jesus, Mark 1:17
The modern church is facing a crisis of discipleship.
It’s not that people don’t want to become like Jesus, or that people aren’t trying to become like Jesus.It’s that we don’t know how to become like Jesus.
Practicing the Way is our primary pathway for allowing Jesus to apprentice us intothe life of His Kingdom.
BE WITH JESUS
BE LIKE JESUS
DO WHAT JESUS DID
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PRACTICE THE WAY OF JESUS?
For those of us who desire to follow Jesus, here is the reality we must turn and face: If we’re not being intentionally formed by Jesus himself, then it’s highly likely we are being unintentionally formed by someone or something else. (John Mark Comer).
We don’t stumble our way into holiness. We need a plan. It takes intentionality. Our intentional core spiritual disciplines include:
● Sabbath
● Prayer
● Fasting
● Solitude
● Generosity
● Scripture
● Community
● Service
● Witness
DISCIPLESHIP TO JESUS IS A JOURNEY
