DISCIPLESHIP       Being a spiritual person

GROWTH

Training

1 Corinthians 9: 24-27

1 Timothy 4: 7-8

“Train yourself to be godly”

To train spiritually means to engage in practices, experiences and relationships that will help us to become more like Jesus.

Reading and meditating on Scripture

The goal is not to get through the Scriptures but to let the Scriptures get through you.  Meditation is paying attention to truths of Scripture and turning them over and over in your mind.

Psalm 23: 1     Psalm 23: 4

Solitude and Prayer

Mark 1: 35

Being still before God but attentive.

Pouring out our hearts

Telling Him how we feel

Praying for people and situations

Being still in His presence.

Corporate Learning and Worship

We need the fellowship and accountability of fellow Christians if we want to fully experience and express spiritual life.

It reminds us that our life is about something bigger than just ourselves

.1 Corinthians 12: 27

How do we measure spiritual growth?

Galatians 5: 22

It’s a process.  Choices. Our calling is to become more like Jesus

Romans 8: 29

Will you and I give ourselves to the spiritual training we need to become disciples?
