Why Discipleship?


Why we do something is far more important and powerful than what we’re doing or even how we’re doing it. With that in mind, Why Discipleship?
Some have come to view discipleship as an extra activity for those who have time and interest.
However, I think there’s more to it.
Yes! Jesus told us to do it, and that’s a good beginning to the answer to the question, “Why?” But there’s got to be a reason He told us to make disciples and not something else.
Another “why” answer is so we can see people receive forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. The good news is often merely, “God will forgive your sins and let you into heaven.” Is this the end all answer to “Why Discipleship?” If that’s the case, then discipleship is easy. All we need to do is go around handing out “heaven-when-you-die” invitations. If people accept, great! “Come on in!” And if people reject, “Too bad for you.” We might as well be walking around with a plate of cookies offering people one.
There’s another answer to the Why question. Starting in August, we’re going to be unpacking this answer in our upcoming sermon series titled, Launch Out! We invite you to come.
