Welcome to episode 63 of Grasp the Bible.  Today, we are talking about what it means to be a disciple.  We define what a disciple is and list eight characteristics of a disciple. A disciple is a learner, a follower, of Jesus Christ. Discipleship is about a direction, not a destination.  We never fully arrive until we enter into the next life.  Until then, we are on a path that we call the Discipleship Pathway. The eight signposts along the discipleship pathway are:1.     Bible engagement – Reading and studying the Bible regularly2.     Obeying God and denying self – Making God the number one priority in our life and denying our sinful desires through the power of the Holy Spirit3.     Serving God and others – Engaging in missions here, there, and everywhere4.     Sharing Christ – Telling others about the gospel regularly5.     Exercising faith – Trusting in God, especially during difficult times6.     Seeking God – Spending time in prayer daily seeking God’s will7.     Building relationships – Cultivating meaningful relationships with other Christians AND with lost people8.     Unashamed (Transparency) – Publicly proclaiming to be a Christian and discipling others  What gets us a good way down the path?·      Daily Bible reading·      Regularly attending a worship service·      Regularly attending a small group (we call them LifeGroups at Spring Baptist Church) We are excited to soon embark with you on the Discipleship Pathway!
