Jesus's model of discipleship centered on doing life together as a family on mission, not just classroom learning. He chose young disciples who knew Scripture and were willing to take risks to follow him. His leadership style was marked by prayer, invitation rather than demands, and empowering others through both words and actions. This approach emphasizes the importance of authentic spiritual growth through active participation in community, regular self-evaluation, and complete surrender to Jesus's leadership.

Jesus demonstrated a unique leadership style focused on constant life-on-life interaction with his disciples. His approach centered on four key elements: all-day engagement, leading through prayer and reflection, focusing on a small group, and allowing voluntary participation. Rather than implementing structured programs, Jesus created a family-like culture with his followers, investing deeply in twelve disciples while maintaining an even closer relationship with three. This counter-cultural approach emphasized organic relationship building and individual calling over forced conformity and measurable outcomes.

How do the Old and New Testament commands work together? Some in Christianity teach that the Torah was fulfilled and thus done away with at the cross. Others teach that all believers in Jesus are required to keep all the commandments listed in the various Covenants listed in Scripture.

As we attempt to get on MISSION with Christ we must combat our own legalistic approach to the calling. Yet the commands of God aren’t legalistic, they are for life. Are the 10 commandments abolished in the New Testament, or are they upheld? As Jesus prepares to give His Torah teaching at the Sermon on the Mount what did he model and teach concerning the 10 commandments

The mission of every believer in Jesus is to live in a way that honors their commitment to Him. This includes aligning thoughts and feelings with Christ, being transformed into His image, and sharing His teachings to grow His kingdom.

The law of Christ differs from the law of Moses because Jesus modeled perfection and encourages humility, love, and support for others. Believers should bear each other's burdens and work together to uplift one another.

Moving beyond basic belief in Jesus Christ into true discipleship requires a transformative journey of spiritual growth. This growth involves understanding doctrine, theology, and philosophy while developing intimate relationships with both mentors and apprentices. The process emphasizes active participation over passive consumption, focusing on practical implementation rather than mere knowledge acquisition.

Biblical obedience goes beyond mere rule-following to produce fruit that nourishes others and multiplies God's kingdom. This mission involves both multiplying kingdom apprentices and producing fruit aligned with God's teachings. True obedience requires speaking truth in love, maturing in faith, and leading from genuine care rather than obligation.
