Week 5: Maturing in Christ ; Summary of the Five-Week Discipleship Journey

“Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” — Colossians 1:28 (KJV)

Discipleship is a lifelong journey of growing in Christ and helping others do the same. Paul reminds us that we are not just called to share the gospel, but to teach, correct, and encourage one another so that we may grow into maturity in Christ. The goal of discipleship is not just knowledge—it’s transformation.

As we wrap up this five-week journey, we must ask ourselves: Am I growing deeper in my faith? Am I helping others mature in Christ? True disciples don’t stay stagnant. They seek wisdom, walk in obedience, and help others grow in the faith.

A Call to Action

For Youth – Keep seeking Jesus and let your faith be a light to those around you. Will you commit to deepening your walk with God and helping others do the same?
For Mothers & Women – Your words and actions shape the next generation. Will you continue to teach and disciple with wisdom and love?
For Gentlemen & Leaders – Spiritual maturity requires discipline and commitment. Will you lead by example and encourage others to grow in Christ?
For New Believers – You have started an incredible journey. Will you stay committed to learning, growing, and sharing your faith with others?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to continue growing in You. Let me not just be a hearer of the Word, but a doer. Strengthen me to walk in obedience, to teach with wisdom, and to help others grow in their faith. May my life reflect Christ, and may I always seek to glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This week, reflect on your growth: How have you changed in the last five weeks? What steps will you take to keep growing in Christ?
