Discipleship As An Invitation To Relationship Saturate In this episode, jeff vanderstelt and john mark comer discuss what it means to be a disciple of jesus. true discipleship of jesus is a relational process of deep, loving attachment with god and others. This post describes how to give an effective invitation to discipleship, including 12 invitations with scripts for concluding sermons on discipleship. some pastors and churches give invitations to follow jesus through "altar calls" at the end of a sermon.

So, the invitation to discipleship is an invitation to lay down anything in order to follow jesus, to know him personally, to do the will of the father, and to demonstrate love to those around us. it’s an invitation from selfishness to love and self sacrifice.
