Acall to discipleship goes out from Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) to everyone who belongs to Him through faith. A decision to answer His call is a matter of choice for each believer. The Bible teaches that becoming a disciple requires a one-time-only dedication and a continual commitment. To help you better understand the disciple making process, we invite you to study Dr. Fruchtenbaum’s teaching entitled “The Spiritual Life and Discipleship.” All it costs is a little of your time and your effort. Jesus instructed His students to be disciple makers. At His ascension, He placed the mantle of responsibility for future disciple-making activity in the world on the shoulders of those He called "friends." Generation after generation, Yeshua's talmidim (disciples) passed on what they learned from their teachers to those who would follow in their footsteps. Becoming and making disciples is not the result of a program that produces a product. It is the result of relationships built around the centrality of God's Word. By looking at the life of Jesus, four distinct and progressive stages in the disciple-making process can be seen:
We have adopted this observation as a constructive way to entitle and organize our teaching materials for discipleship training use. At the start of His ministry, Yeshua simply invited His prospective talmidim to "Come and See." He did not assume they knew more than they actually did. He only expected them to observe, listen, and learn. He keenly focused His future world shakers attention on the fundamentals, the first being that there is only one correct interpretation of any passage of Scripture… the one He intended.
Fifty of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's classic Messianic Bible Studies in MP3 audio format have been carefully selected for this stage of your discipleship training. ALL FIFTY studies are now available 24/7/365... ABSOLUTELY FREE on the Come and See Discipleship Training page. Our prayer is that many of you will make the decision to become a biblical disciple maker using these materials. Some will decide to go on to the "Follow Me" stage and become an active "fisher of men." Before moving forward we ask you to first complete the "Come and See" stage. In fulfilling our purpose, Ariel Ministries is committed to providing resources that will help you mature in your faith, grow into His likeness, and embolden you to invite others to join you in the process. |

COME AND SEE (John 1:35-39)
Following the Master's example then, we now invite you to "Come and See." We encourage you to embark on an exciting journey of discovery. Along the road, you will experience a more vibrant spiritual life as you grow in your understanding of Yeshua's Word from a Jewish perspective. You will learn how to more effectively communicate Scriptural truth and God’s profound message "to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
