Decide

• Discipleship is the lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus through the guidance of His Word.
• Jesus wants to see you make progress in the areas that matter most.
• A great sign of maturity is a personal plan (your discipleship guide) and an intentional investment (a guide for another).

Distinctive Discipleship (a personalized process from Col. 1:28-29)

• Delight – What rival delight do you need to reprioritize?
• Disobedience – What sinful area must you address?
• Doctrine – What scriptural concept do you need to own?
• Development – What key area do you need to mature?
• Discipline – What spiritual habit needs greater focus?
• Dependence – What issue are you praying for God to resolve?
