Choosing the right material is essential for building an effective discipleship course. Here are a few important principles to consider.
Christian discipleship is at the heart of the Great Commission. It means helping believers become more like Christ, and that involves more than simply teaching a Bible class.
The ultimate goal of discipleship is not just for believers to know God’s commands, but to obey them (Matthew 28:19–20). Healthy discipleship helps Christians develop a consistent spiritual life through habits. Some or them are daily prayer, Bible reading, faithful church attendance, and sharing their faith with others.
Making disciples is not easy. At times it can be difficult and even discouraging. Yet discipleship remains the only way to produce lasting spiritual growth and long-term ministry impact.
This was the model of Jesus Himself. He invested most of His time, energy, and attention into His twelve disciples. Before they became apostles, they were first disciples (Luke 6:13). This reminds us that if we want to develop strong Christian leaders and ministers, we must first invest in developing mature disciples of Christ.
