Growing in Christ: The Essentials of Discipleship - Overcoming Challenges in Discipleship II
"The Marks of a True Disciple" underscores the profound importance of authenticity and devotion in one's journey of faith. It reminds us that being a disciple isn't merely about outward displays of piety or adherence to religious rituals, but about embodying the teachings and values at the core of one's belief system. True discipleship is a lifelong commitment to love, compassion, humility, and selflessness, serving as a beacon of light in a world often plagued by division and discord. By striving to bear the marks of a true disciple, individuals can not only deepen their spiritual connection but also contribute to the betterment of humanity as a whole.

Overcoming Challenges in Discipleship
a. As we tread the path of discipleship, challenges inevitably arise. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we find assurance: "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."
b. Discipleship might lead us into uncomfortable territories, but God equips us with the tools we need. His power dispels fear, His love sustains us, and His Spirit grants us self-control. Challenges in discipleship are opportunities for us to grow stronger in our faith, relying on God's strength to overcome obstacles.
c. Overcoming challenges in discipleship is an essential aspect of the Christian journey. Discipleship involves following Christ wholeheartedly, but it's not without its trials and obstacles. Here are some strategies for overcoming challenges in discipleship:
Tithe and Offering
<b><i>2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV</i></b><i>Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.</i> God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time. Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life. After all, Luke records that Jesus himself said, <i>"It is more blessed to give than to receive" </i><b><i>(Acts 20:35). </i></b> At Northside, we want to encourage all members to pray about giving and give as God leads them.
