Teaching Points
- 1
Discipleship is not a class — it is a lifestyle. It is following Jesus in every area of life, not just on Sundays.
- 2
A covenant is different from a contract. A contract says 'I'll do my part if you do yours.' A covenant says 'I'm all in, regardless.'
- 3
Growth requires commitment: to God's Word, to prayer, to community, and to mission.
- 4
The CORE model: Christ-centered, Others-focused, Relationally accountable, Engaged in mission.
- 5
You cannot grow alone. Discipleship happens in relationship — with God and with others.
