Growing One Another Week 7: The End of Discipleship

The gospel is “of first importance.” It is our church’s central message and primary motivation. Why do we need to have greater confidence in the supremacy of Christ and the sufficiency of what he has done on the cross?

What should we expect from God if we will continue to be faithful in gospel ministry, even when we don’t see immediate and quantifiable results?

In what ways do we manifest self-righteousness and self-reliance in living the Christian life and doing our ministries? How does the gospel serve as a corrective to our “fleshly” tendencies?
