Discipleship
SELF DEFENSE?
Over the last few weeks, our life group has been diving into the Sermon on the Mount. There are a ton of great messages we get from it: don’t judge, don’t worry or be anxious, and of course, we have the Lord’s Prayer. There are, however, a lot of difficult teachings in there as well: love your enemies, be peacemakers, and equating hate and lust to murder and adultery. There’s one idea that seems to be a common thread throughout the entire sermon How COVID has affected us
Fall into Discipleship
You probably could have guessed this was coming as the subject of my article this week. School just started back last week. Ephraim is having his kickoff tonight for the youth group. Sara is getting ready for WASP and Octane to fire back up. And yes, we have programs for adults, as well. I call it our discipleship rhythm. And, believe it or not, we don’t offer these things just to fill your calendar or because we don’t have anything else to do. I’m not trying How COVID has affected us

The Cost of Discipleship
For two more Sundays we are going to look at the topic of Discipleship and what it means to be a disciple and why we should follow Jesus.

Do vs. Done or Done now Do?
A church I once belonged to was doing some training on how to evangelize. And the material we were using used an illustration in trying to explain religion vs. Christianity. The book described religion as something people do. Most people think of religion as something you are supposed to be a part of and do in order to obtain salvation.

Discipleship You Don’t Have to Travel For
On Sunday, November 8th we started a new series called, “A Divine Dining Experience.” In this series, we are looking at four meals Jesus had with people and the teaching He gave during those meals. The overriding theme of the series is that Discipleship starts at home and the challenge for the month was to have a sit-down meal every day with your family and ask three questions. “What God sightings did you observe today?” “If Jesus were here at How COVID has affected us
