Going Full Circle
Becoming the Disciple Maker God Intended...
Step 3 - Minister
Maturity in believers really begins to show itself at this stage. Naturally, you begin to want to serve out of the overflow of your heart.
When we look at the life of the disciples we begin to see how that once they changed certain aspects of their life, connected with God, and with others that they change in their heart began to have a ripple effect. Like a rock dropped in the water it began to send waves of change. Their family changed. Their church changed. Their workplace changed. Their community changed.
God is always at work around you and it is now your place as a disciple to learn how God has shaped you and gifted you to serve. (HEAD)
The transition from being a child in your faith to a young adult happens in the context of Ministry to others. (HEART)
You will begin to See others do ministry. You will do ministry together. Finally, God will free you to do ministry on your own. (HANDS)
So let’s break this down some more with some self focused studies on what it means to know how God has gifted you and also how to embrace this new step of Ministry.
At your own pace and your choosing do some exploring and continue your journey on this discipleship path. You do not have to complete every study below but we do encourage you to grow in God and each of these will help you to do this.
