Simple Guidelines for Discipleship
(Feel free to use these in your group)
Luke 12:1-13:5
We, as youth ministers, are constantly trying to get our teens to
disciple others. It order for them to properly disciple it is
necessary for them to set the proper example. The guidelines below
will be a great start for them on that journey.
1. You can't keep a secret.
Luke 12:1-12
...not secrets from our friends but secrets from God.
You are forgiven so do not try to pretend that you are better than
others.
What are you doing in your life right now that you would not want
God to know about?
2. Avoid letting "things" rule your life.
Luke 12:13-34
It's not bad to have possessions but it is bad for them to rule
your life. Use your possessions to glorify Him. Even Jesus enjoyed
possessions when He allowed His feet to be washed with an ointment
that was worth three hundred days wages (Matthew 26).
What possessions do you have that you think you could not live
without and why?
3. Always be ready.
Luke 12:35-48
Simply stated, don't waste time. If you need to make things right
with God or man, do so now. Do not let time control you, you
control your time. Live today like you will not be here tomorrow.
What activity are you willing to give up to make more time for God?
Maybe you watch too much TV, video games, etc.
Blessings!

Youth Ministry Tip - Is the church afraid of how the youth will
make a negative impression on guests with their prayers or speaking
style in public?
"I have noticed a huge difference in our group since joining The
Zone. They talk about how they love the classes, the handouts, and
the PowerPoint. Because of the training I'm getting I understand
the teens better and have been able to reach out to them more
effectively. Thanks for the great work. Keep it up!"
