The Premise of Connecting Points is that there can be no discipleship without relationship. God is all about community and He works through relationships. Mark 1:17 says: “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” John 13:35 declares: “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” When we are looking for role models for making disciples there is no need to look any farther than Jesus. What was it that made Jesus such a compelling leader of those men? There is no intention of doing an exhaustive look at the subject here; however there is a characteristic that stands out when we observe His connection to the disciples. Jesus built great relationships with the disciples. He spent time with them, He listened to their questions, He ate with them, He got to know their families and of course He taught them. Jesus became the compass for these disciples, and we believe that a major reason for that was that Jesus was intentionally relational. If we embrace the Jesus model of discipleship we must buy into the premise of Connecting Points: There can be no discipleship without relationship.
