Introduction |

To begin to develop a close relationship among group members, review the significant lessons of Discipleship 1, and acquaint them with the purpose and scope of Discipleship 2.

| 2 |
|
Character & Integrity
|
|
To help the disciple recognize that our relationship with Jesus Christ manifests itself in our moral soundness, purity of motive, incorruptibility and honesty in all that we do, think and say. |
| 3 |
|
Marriage
|
|
To insure that our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ are reflected in our priestly relationships with our spouses. Recognizing that the Christian marriage is the living model of Jesus’ relationship with His Church, we allow others to see the love of God as they see the love of Christian husbands and wives.
|
| 4 |
|
Parenting
|
|
To remind us as parents that the Christian family is the Church of God “in miniature.” What non-believers see as the center of our family life and the way we deal with trials and victories, gains and losses tells them they too can trust in Jesus Christ. |
| 5 |
|
Fellowship of Believers
|
|
To stress the importance of intimate, accountable and supportive relationships to our growth as disciples of Jesus Christ.
|

|
Christians in the Work Place
|
|
To teach us as Christ’s disciples that our ministry and influence extend to our places of work and involvement in community affairs. We are truly “Christ’s ambassadors” to our employers, employees and customers. |
| 7 |
|
Christian Leadership
|
|
God raises up men and women throughout history to accomplish His will and glorify His name. Understanding how to follow godly leaders and respond to God’s call to lead His people is essential in helping Christ’s disciples find and fulfill their role in God’s plan. |
| 8 |
|
"Hot Potatoes" |
|
To help us as disciples “work through” some of the more difficult issues facing our world without giving into our culture’s situational ethics. Learning that God’s Word and the sensitivity of His Spirit can be our guides and measuring sticks for issues that divide believers and unbelievers.
|
| 9 |
|
Practical Faith Sharing
|
|
To motivate and equip us as disciples of Christ to share the “Good News” with those God brings into our sphere of influence. To have “our story” and the essentials of the Gospel ready at hand for whatever opportunities God presents us. |
| 10 |
|
Exploring Spiritual Gifts
|
|
To understand how the Holy Spirit has gifted us as disciples of Jesus Christ to perform the works of faith designed for us before we were knit together in our mother’s womb. |
| 11 |
|
Finding Your Place in Ministry
|
|
To help the disciple understand God’s call to minister to others. To determine where the disciple can best serve the Body of Christ by exploring the gifts, life experiences passions and personality God has woven into us.
|
| 12 |
|
Building a Spiritual Growth Plan
|
|
To take many of the lessons from Discipleship 2 and build a Christ-directed, intentional plan for our future spiritual growth.
|
| 13 |
|
Spiritual Warefare
|
|
To educate and equip the disciple of Jesus Christ to deal with the reality of spiritual warfare so that the subtle and direct attacks of Satan will not deter him from the accomplishment of his God-given purpose in this life. |
