II Kings 2: 1-15Titus 2:1-15Psalm 119: 33-48St. John 3:22-301. Discipleship is Taking Pride in the Lord - (Psalm 119: 35)
Asking for understanding, negating selfishness, being gracious,
confirming the promises, taking the disgrace away, being righteous,
steadfast in love, hope, keeping the law, live in liberty, not putting
anyone in shame…
It is a Positive Pride (Psalm 119: 35)
2. Discipleship is Transforming the Pride into Fear of God - (Titus 2:11)
Why: Because God is bringing salvation (Titus 2:11)
How: 1. David was afraid of God (I Chronicles 13:12)
How: 2. Living Example
3. Discipleship is Transforming Fear of God into Faith in Jesus
(St. John 3:28)
Confession of John the Baptist (St. John 3:28)
➢ It is a direct confession that John the Baptist also need to have faith
in Jesus Christ
Why: 1. Because we were originally ineligible (Romans 11:17-18)
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive
shoot, were grafted in their place to share the rich root of the olive tree,
do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that it is
not you that support the root, but the root that supports you.
How: 2. Living Example
4.1. Discipleship is Going beyond the Faith of your Parents/Leaders

Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from
you.” Elisha said, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.”
(II Kings 2: 9)
4.2. Discipleship is Going beyond the Faith of your Parents/Leaders
(II Kings 2: 9)
Jesus Christ had the double faith than his mother Mary

become a disciple and then whatever you do become Witness
