Raise the Bar of Discipleship

Most Christians don’t know what the target of discipleship is in their church.  A recent Barna study found:

• Most Christians equate spiritual maturity with following a set of rules.  They equate spiritual maturity as trying hard to follow the rules described in the Bible.
• Most churchgoers are not clear what their church expects in terms of spiritual maturity.  The did not know what the definition of a healthy spiritually mature follower of Jesus would be.
• Most pastors think lack of spiritual maturity is a significant problem facing the church in America.

The R12 Church campaign addresses this need.  Romans 12 provides a target of an authentic disciple.  What does a church look like that is filled with R-12 Christians?

• Surrendered to God           12:1
• Separate from the world  12:2
• Sober in self-assessment   12:3-8
• Supernaturally responding to evil with good 12:14-21

Join us as we follow a pathway to become like Jesus.  It starts March 16 and runs till Easter.  Lets raise the bar in our lives.
