“Spiritual Discipline: Any activity that can help me gain power to live life as Jesus taught and modeled it.”
John Ortberg (The Life You’ve Always Wanted)
TRAINING VERSUS TRYING
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. Luke 6:40 ESV
The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 NLT
Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27NLT
SHARING – That is, telling others about Jesus and sharing our faith story. If sharing my faith isn’t a discipline to which I apply some intentional planning, it often won’t happen. Brandon Cox
When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9:22,23 NLT
EACH ONE REACH ONE
CARING – Living on mission and contributing to human flourishing, serving the needs of fellow human beings and becoming unselfish and more like Christ. Brandon Cox
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 NLT
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:35 NLT
EACH ONE REACH ONE THRU SERVOLUTION
