Spheres and stages of discipleship

ESSAY: SPHERES AND STAGES OF DISCIPLESHIP ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW As we see in the Gospels, discipleship is somewhat sequential. The disciples of Jesus accepted who He was, then they began to follow, then He gave them responsibilities, then they came back, and He taught them more, then they entered a new stage of discipleship. Eventually Jesus left and they carried on in the power of the Holy Spirit. INSTRUCTIONS Items to include are outlined as follows: At least 5 pages, not including the cover page and table of contents, and must be in current Turabian format. Must include a bibliography with a minimum of 5 scholarly sources, which can include the course textbooks. Format of assignment is current Turabian.
