What’s Your Next Step?

“Taking your Next Step in the Journey of Discipleship”

Luke 6:12-16

Every journey begins with one step, but no journey is complete in one step.

Everyone has a next step.

Why Jesus called his disciples into a group as their next step:

1. Groups are the best place to make disciples.

• Follow
• Learn              
• Become  

2. Groups are the best place to help us grow in Christ.

• Beginning in Christ
• Young in Christ
• Maturing in Christ
• Reproducing in Christ

3. Groups are the best place to support us as we grow.

• Test and confirm what I am learning.
• Receive encouragement in taking my next step.
• Learn to put the Bible into practice in my daily life.
• Learn to give and receive love.

4. Groups are the best place to help us grow with others.
5. How we are different from each other.

• Different Backgrounds
• Different Temperaments
• Different Perspectives
• Different Opinions

We harmonize what’s different when we emphasize what’s the same.

1. How we are the same as each other.

• Same Call: Come to Christ
• Same Vision: Become Like Christ
• Same Lord: Jesus Christ is Lord
• Same Purpose: Be With/Be Sent by Christ

Core CHRISTlike Characteristic: Intentional Evangelism/Loving People
