What is discipleship?
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Discipleship is following Jesus - it's great but challenging. In him we can experience life to the full, a life without limits but as we grow we realise that this is uncovered in a reckless selflessness, by choosing to lose to control so we can find freedom.  A life of faith is found as we face our fears and let Jesus overcome them!

Greg Sharples writes: "My experience has been that it’s with support and encouragement from a committed group of friends that we are most able to pursue God and become who we are meant to be!

"This journey to greater peace and freedom is the journey of discipleship and is why we place a strong emphasis on relationships and relational structures like Small Groups! I know I can receive great teaching but if I don’t have people in my life to help me apply it then I’ll struggle!

"What does it mean for us to be life-long learners? To be a people who are continually changed to be more like Jesus? Hopefully we’ll find out together!"
