The Discipleship Covenant

Teaching points

Discipleship is not a class — it is a lifestyle. It is following Jesus in every area of life, not just on Sundays.
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.'
Growth requires commitment: to God's Word, to prayer, to community, and to mission.
The CORE model: Christ-centered, Others-focused, Relationally accountable, Engaged in mission.
You cannot grow alone. Discipleship happens in relationship — with God and with others.

Have you made a conscious commitment to follow Jesus as a disciple? What does that look like?
What is the difference between believing in Jesus and following Jesus?
Who is investing in your growth right now? Who are you investing in?
What would change if you treated discipleship as a lifestyle, not a program?

Write out your personal discipleship covenant — what you're committing to before God.
Find one person who will hold you accountable to growth.
Commit to the daily rhythm: Word, prayer, community, mission.
