Discipleship is not:
-one super anointed man teaching everyone
-controlling relationships
-only a series of classes that make us smarter
-activities for christians to have something to do

Discipleship is relationship.

Discipleship is a relationship with Jesus
-The gospel/good news must be central to everything we do as christians
-Our relationship with Jesus needs to be central to everything that we do. Jesus is our why. Jesus is our motivation.

Discipleship is a relationship with each other.
-as the gospel changes us God calls us to live with people
-discipleship is pointing each other toward Jesus as we work to be like him

Discipleship is a relationship with those far from christ
-realizing the power of the gospel we should desire to want to share this truth with others
