Discipleship means to be trained and sent in the power of the Spirit.

What is discipleship? Discipleship means being sent to make more disciples in the power of the Spirit!

I woke up with this thought this morning: “True Christianity is a new normal for how to live life. (‘Christ in you, the hope of glory.’)” Jesus is always sending His people, but we aren’t always going where He sends us.

As Christ-followers we are all sent into the world to share, to show, and to serve in the presence and power of the risen Jesus as we are led by His Spirit each moment. We are all sent to go and make disciples and to be Christ’s witnesses right where we are and wherever else He sends us. Like Isaiah we need to say, “Here I am, Lord, send me,” and say it every day!

Jesus didn’t just send a message to be taught. He sent you to be the light of the world. If you’re not aware that you’re Heaven-sent, you’re overlooking the truth of the Gospel. God sent His Son to live in you so that He can send you to show people His love and to demonstrate His presence to all you encounter.

At the end of each day
I should be able to say
“I went
Where I was sent.”

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
