Discipleship Tools from FIM’s General Director, Paul Barreca
Follow the Master: How Jesus Made Disciples
Jesus took his disciples on a journey-one that transformed them from common men of Galilee into fearless witnesses of the Gospel. They were not significant or influential leaders when he first met them. They were rugged Jewish men from a variety of backgrounds. It was their time with Jesus that made all the difference. Their journey with Jesus began in the Judean desert, along the narrow banks of the Jordan River. If we want to learn how Jesus trained his disciples, we must begin there, at the point of origin.
Follow the Master: A Discipleship Course for Growing Christians
Discipleship is fundamental to the Christian experience. Jesus called and trained his disciples and commissioned them to go and make disciples of others (Matthew 28:19-20). That command compels Christians today and is the primary task of the Church.
This course is designed to help you fulfill Christ’s call to “come and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). These 34 lessons provide the foundational beliefs and behaviors of a mature disciple. Even though this course was created for new Christians, those who have not been intentionally discipled will grow through these lessons. You can use this as a foundation for your own personal Bible study or better yet, study with another Christian or in a group of fellow believers to grow in your knowledge of the Bible and live as mature disciples of Jesus.
