YOUNG ADULT STAGE

The Characteristics of the Young Adult Stage:
Centeredness and Focus

• At this stage of discipleship, the disciple is God - centered and others - centered.  

• There is a desire to go deeper with the Lord....reading the Word more, praying more. Wanting to understand fasting and                                             learning and developing a discipline of stewardship.

• There is a understanding of loving the Lord and loving others according to the Great Commandment. This is not just a habit in their                              lives, it becomes a passion.

Ministry Focused 

• Discipleship in the area of ministry to others is developed at this stage.  

• There are many churches with disciples doing lots of things and staying busy, but to really know your giftedness and serving in that one area is ideal.  

• Focusing on Spiritual Gifts and how they are used and the work of the Holy Spirit is important in learning about ministry and serving others.

• This becomes CONSISTENT in your life as a follower of Christ

• Being a SERVANT to CHRIST and having a serving attitude to others

• Humility becomes natural because of Holy Spirit's work in your life
