PERSONAL DISCIPLESHIP PLAN

_________________________________________________________________________________________

This plan is about preparation and follow-through for living the Christian life. The plan itself will not make you
mature. Instead, it gives you a framework for consistently and intentionally pursuing Christ and the life he calls his
disciples to live. Pursuing him by faith will lead to growth and maturity. Ideally, you should think through this plan
every three to four months.

This plan is divided into three parts. The first part is about Abiding in Christ and focuses on planning for a
prayerful, Word-filled life—the way we fellowship with God through Christ. Part two, Growing in Christ, helps you
think through how to deal with sin and grow in godliness, reflecting the Savior who bought you. You should also
identify elements of life that regularly provide temptation to sin, and so, must be changed or eliminated. Finally,
Serving with Christ gives you some direction for thinking through how you can pour into the lives of others in
broad and specific ways. This includes ministry within the body of Christ and ministry to those who are lost.

Abiding in Christ
“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart
from me you can do nothing. . . . If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will
be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the
Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love” (John 15:5, 7–9).

We are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ . . . . to put off your old self, which belongs to
your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Eph 4:15, 22–24).
