If we want to grow strong in our faith, we need more than a Sunday morning visit to church. It’s like planting a seed and hoping for a tree without watering it. Growth in our spiritual life takes intentional steps—prayer, studying God’s Word, and walking alongside others who can help guide us. Discipleship is the heartbeat of that growth. It’s an ongoing journey of becoming more like Jesus, and it’s not just for a few select believers but for everyone who longs to deepen their relationship with the Lord.
This year the Territory has released some resources to assist with discipleship on a group and individual level. Here are the resources that are available:
Group Studies: Siyakhula (We Are Growing)
The Siyakhula Discipleship Material is designed to lead individuals and groups through a journey of growth, moving from the essentials of faith to living it out in practical ways. This series includes four sessions, each lasting six weeks:
- Basics: Start with the foundation of our faith, diving into key principles that ground us in truth.
- Proceed: Discover your true Identity in Christ, exploring who you are and who you are becoming in Him.
- Advance: Reflect on the attitude of your heart and align your priorities with God’s, creating space for Him to do a deep work in you.
- Others: Turn your focus outward, considering how to serve and reach those around you with the love of Jesus.
These sessions are perfect for groups seeking to grow together in their faith journey.
Personal Studies: Discipleship 101
For those who prefer a personal study, Discipleship 101: Welcome to God’s Family is a six-week guide covering vital topics like salvation, building a relationship with God, the importance of prayer, and the power of forgiveness. It’s a great way to start laying the groundwork for a life rooted in Christ.
And there’s more to come! Discipleship 201 will guide you through Victorious Christian Living, while Discipleship 301 will help develop your leadership potential.
All these resources are now available for download – found at: https://www.warcryza.org/aboutus/resources/discipleship-resources/. Let’s take these steps of growth together, trusting that God will meet us in every moment as we walk this path of discipleship.
