Digging Deeper – A Place of Discipleship

 

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19 (NLT)



A PLACE OF DISCIPLESHIP

 

Jesus tells the disciples that the Good News will be spread to the whole world. Later, after His crucifixion and resurrection, He tells them again in Matthew 28:19, in the Great Commission, “Go and make disciples of all nations…” This was His very first message to them after His resurrection, holding great significance for what we are called to do as believers.

So how do we become disciple-makers? At the heart of a disciple is a desire to be more like Christ. To be more like Christ, we must grow in our knowledge of Him and spend time in His Word, digging deeper. Small groups are an incredible place to do this. At NorthStar, you can find groups for almost anything—Grief Share, men’s and women’s book studies or Scripture studies, couples’ groups, and more. Whatever small group you join, you will be growing in your knowledge and understanding of our faith, becoming a disciple, and molding yourself to be more like Christ. Small groups prepare us to go out into the world and live sent—making Christ’s name known to all.
