Becoming disciples

Last time we looked at the central part, Jesus at the Centre. This time we'll take a brief look at Becoming Disciples.

Jesus at the Centre

Let's take a look at the central part of JDMC, the hub, the part around which everything else revolves. It's hardly surprising to hear that Jesus is at the centre. It would be disturbing if he was not!

JDMC? Shouldn't it be JCMD?

Hmm... Jesus, Disciple, Mission, Church.

OK, I understand why Jesus comes first, few people would argue with that. But surely the other three are in the wrong order? Why didn't you have Church second because until you have a church how can you do mission? And Mission has to come before Disciple, because the purpose of mission is to make disciples and build more churches.

Inviting some friends

I'm sending the link to my friends today with the covering message below. Whether you know me or not, please feel free to download a copy of JDMC to read or discuss. And feel equally free to pass it on to your own friends as well.
