Discipleship: Having the Correct Focus

In regards to discipleship, what ought to be our primary focus? In this video, Rob Ventura explains what should be the focus of programs within churches today. He emphasizes that the goal of any program should not be to somehow "generate" more saved individuals, but rather to help existing Christians grow in their faith. Discipleship, according to Ventura, is about making better Christians out of saved people. The goal is not to save people - that is God's work - but to guide them once they are saved. Many people, once they have accepted Christ, are left wondering what to do next, and that is where discipleship comes in. Through structured programs in the church, saved individuals can be guided and taught how to live as Christians. Matthew 28:19 (NKJV): 'Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.'
