Below are 12 essential disciplines for Jesus’/Yeshua’s disciples.  A disciple is a learner and a follower.  These 12 things are what God has taught and modeled for us through the Scriptures. Being a disciple is all about preparing us to be citizens of the Kingdom of God.  The rules of the Kingdom are often times completely opposite the things we’ve learned in this world.

As Messiah’s disciples we must seek God and ask for His guidance and help so we can see these things becoming part of our everyday life experience as Kingdom citizens and ambassadors.
