Many Christians talk a lot about being a "disciple" of Jesus and other talk about "discipleship" as if it were a program you can follow. In our study beginning in September we are going to take a look at the Gospel of Luke and observe "disciples" of Jesus in real life.
Basically, the word "disciple" means to be a learner, follower or imitator of another. For our purposes we will be discussing what it means and how it looks to be a learner, follower or imitator of Jesus Christ. Are there clear teachings in Luke that would help us understand more fully what it means to follow Jesus? Is it really possible in our world today to imitate the Son of God?
I hope you will join us in this study, whether you attend one of our classes on Sunday morning or whether you just participate through weekly conversations on this blog. I think it will be interesting and informative and possibly even transforming in how we seek to walk in the way Jesus walked.
I will be using a study written by Tony Ash entitled "Directions For Disciples" Studies in the Gospel of Luke. You can purchase one of these through Leafwood Publishing in Abilene, Texas. If you have any trouble finding it just Google the title and the authors name.

This is the perfect format for this type of discussion. I'm planning to extend and deepen the scope of the weeks lesson through the blog, it looks like you are too. Not sure, but I think comments are added close to real time. Just going to have to discipline myself to maintain everyday, that will be the challenge.
