Midweek last night was looking at discipleship, and the role each believer has in teaching, nurturing and guiding fellow believers in their faith, especially during the early years of faith. To do this we need to be real with each other, learning from one another’s experience, encouraging and looking out for each other, and praying specifically for one another’s needs. The pattern of Christian commitment is outlined in Acts 2: 38-47 as apostolic teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer. Sometimes while focusing on evangelism, we forget about nurturing. In seeking to convert the unsaved by pointing them to Christ, we forget the follow-up process of nurturing them and encouraging one another in our faith. To do this we have to get alongside new converts, be real with them, and share experience with one another just as Christ done while on earth.
