The Role of Discipleship

Discipleship: a means of conformity to Christ

January 29, 2023 • Jon Cook • Ephesians 4, Hebrews 10:19–25

“Go ye therefore into all the world and make disciples…” This command of Christ to the church is certainly a broader responsibility than one individual believer investing in the life of another individual believer. However, Scripture is clear as to the responsibility and value of discipleship between individual believers. One on one discipleship is one of the means used by God to conform us to His image.

The Role of Scripture

January 1, 2023 • 2 Timothy 3:16—4:4

“First and foremost, the ministry of Grace Baptist Church is centered upon the expository preaching and teaching of God's Word, the Bible. We follow the literal, historical, grammatical approach to the interpretation of Scripture. We believe the best way to address all personal, political, and social issues and problems is through the citizenship of believers who know, understand, and practice the principles of Scripture through the power of the Holy Spirit, bound by grace, and motivated by love.”~ Grace Baptist Church Constitution “We believe in the plenary and verbal inspiration of the Scripture of both the Old and New Testaments and that they are inerrant in the original writings and are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:19-21.”~ Grace Baptist Church Statement of Faith

The Goal: Conformity to Christ

January 8, 2023 • Ephesians 4:11–16

“If you aim at nothing you are sure to hit it every time” Zig Ziglar “Objectives determine outcomes. You achieve that for which you aim.” Howard Hendricks “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” The Apostle Paul

The Role of Preaching

January 15, 2023 • Jon Cook • Ephesians 4, Romans 16:25–27

The ending to the book of Romans is unique in that it is the only letter of Paul that ends with a doxology instead of a benediction. At the end of this letter Paul finishes where he started, with praise to God for the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and the immense value of its proclamation.
