What Should Be Happening to Our Relationships?

Speaker: Jason Whitley Series: The Commitments and Distinctives of Our Local Church

Introduction

God calls us into a friendship with His Son, and as members of the same Body (Christ), we all relate to one another. This relationship can be summed up in a word - discipleship. Three ways to view discipleship are:

  1. Discipleship is helping others to follow Jesus. (Intentional)
  2. Discipleship is the responsibility of everybody.
  3. Discipleship is a local church project.

Ways to Disciple One Another

  1. Ephesians 6:18  
  2. Romans 12:10 
  3. Romans 15:14
  4. Galatians 6:2

  6. Mark 9:50
  7. James 5:16
