Keep growing
The DNA of Discipleship: Advancing the Mission
But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21
We have looked at the DNA of discipleship (Divine truth, Nurturing relationships and Advancing the mission) and practiced the being, doing and thinking related to faith in Jesus. We said at the beginning that 40 days was a time of testing where something significant was going to happen. Do you have any idea what that might be? Don’t worry if it is not yet clear because sometimes growth is invisible. Sometimes it is something that others can see but we don’t see in ourselves. Sometimes it is a feeling or a conviction but sometimes it is simply having survived the test. Rejoice! Thank God! Celebrate the accomplishment! Telling someone else as your example of perseverance may be of great encouragement and an example to follow. And express your gratitude to God for such a Savior as Jesus Christ.
For Reflection:
- Are you interested in continuing with Series 2 of the 40 Days of Discipleship? Sign up here. (You must respond to a confirmation email to continue with Series 2))
- Do you have someone to invite to this DNA Series while you go on to the next one? This could be the best step of learning you make in this series.
Make Life Count:
- Write an email inviting someone to take Series 1 while you begin Series 2. Both Series are designed to work together, so as you continue in the second series you can encourage someone in the first one.
- Copy/paste this sample invitation into an email: I have just finished a very helpful series I receive by daily email on how to be a better follower of Jesus. I would like to invite you to sign up at this link: sign-up (You need to confirm your subscription from your email inbox.)
Hungry for More?
- You will never look at learning the same way again if you continue with the next 40 Days of Discipleship, The Five Verbs of Learning.
Looking forward to the journey continuing…
