Growing in Jesus and Going with Jesus
Growing in Jesus and Going with Jesus
Read 2 Timothy 2:1-2
Read it again, in the same translation. Can someone recite it back from memory?
Kevin described his theory of “four-generation discipleship” on Sunday, based on this passage. Essentially, there is:
- Someone who mentors me.
- Me.
- Someone I mentor.
- Someone they mentor, with my support.
Can you identify each of these people in your life?
If you answered “yes,” can you talk a bit more about what that is like for you?
If you answered “no,” why is this not currently the case? Is there anyone around you who you could connect with in this way?
Read Ephesians 4:11-14
Think about each of the roles Paul identifies here:
- Apostles
- Prophets
- Evangelists
- Pastors
- Teachers (sometimes these last two are combined)
Paul argues that God has given these people to the church so that Christians can be strengthened, unified, and better equipped to serve.
Which of these roles do you think you occupy?
Go through each of these, and consider, do I have a good personal connection with people like this? (e.g. Do I have a good personal connection with an evangelist?)
How are you equipping and strengthening other Christians with your ministry gifts?
How are other Christians equipping and strengthening you?
