From the very start of discipleship, we must seek to build on the solid foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Without this crucial step, we are not building anything worthwhile at all. We can’t build people’s lives on church programs, events, and campaigns. We can’t build people’s faith on Christian activities and parachurch community services. The only sure ground upon which anything stands is in the person and work of Christ. Everything else is sinking sand.
This is the discipleship step we should not miss. If we miss this, we are actually not doing it right. We’re just doing weekly huddles and talk vaguely about the God of the Bible.
Pastor Jojo, i agree with you on that. But let me add: In order to establish a Christ-Centered Discipleship, we must be Fundamentally and Evangelically Biblical. We must be intentional in Establishing our Disciples in the Word, Repentance and Faith.
I believe that in order for the Church like ours as we say in our Mission-Vision, a Christ-Centered Church, it must be Fundamentally and Evangelically Biblical. We must be Biblical in the way we present the Gospel by Heart and Deed.
But of course, i believe that Bible Reading,Study and Teaching without Application is Abortion. What i mean is: The Goal of Discipleship is to help people know CHRIST and His Word and Make it Transformational.

Yup, I totally agree with you. I was just talking about the fundamental step we should not miss while seeking to build using the items you mentioned. Thank you, Paul.
