Discipleship Devotional #2

We have been discussing discipleship as:

·        Being with Jesus

·        Becoming like Him

·        And doing what He does.

This week, we will begin to go deeper into four scriptures that give us insight into the process of becoming mature in Christ.

We will start with Ephesians 3:14-19(NLT):

When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
