Passage: Colossians 1:20
A Heart for Discipleship
A Vision for Your Heart – Part 5
Above all else, watch over your heart; diligently guard it because from a sincere and pure heart come the good and noble things of life. Prov. 4:23 (VOICE)
My vision is that I (we) would increasingly develop:
- A heart for God. 2. A heart for the local church. 3. A heart for the lost
- A heart for service
- A heart for discipleship – Invest my life into people in order to help them become mature lifetime Kingdom-workers! Embrace becoming a disciple-maker-maker.
The CCC Mission: To “proclaim Him (Jesus), admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” Colossians 1:28
