We’ve been talking about the “essentials” of discipleship. An “essential” is something absolutely necessary, crucial, indispensable. This Sunday we look at the essential of prayer. Let me share with you a concept that few people grasp. There is a difference between “union” and “communion.” The moment you place your faith in Jesus for salvation, you become spiritually united with Christ. In other words, positionally speaking, you and I are placed into the body of Christ and one with Him. That is mind-boggling. But…just because we have “union” with Jesus, that doesn’t mean we are becoming more like Him in our everyday life. And for many of us, we’ve been off-roading in the area of prayer. Without prayer, there is no “communion” with Jesus. Join us this week as we explore what it looks like to commune with God through prayer.
Becoming More Like Jesus: Prayerful
October 22, 2023 • Greg St. Cyr • John 15:4–7
Becoming More Like Jesus: Reproducing
November 19, 2023 • Greg St. Cyr • 1 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Timothy 2:2
This Sunday we wrap up our nine-week series on Becoming More Like Jesus. As a church we are on a journey to grow as disciples of Christ. This week we look at our final essential: Discipleship is Reproducing. The greatest legacy you and I can leave is the investments we’ve made helping others become disciples of Jesus. All of us want to leave a legacy that outlives us. Being used by God to pour into others is the most powerful legacy anyone can leave. Join us this Sunday as we continue our journey of becoming more like Jesus!
Becoming More Like Jesus: Evangelistic
November 12, 2023 • Greg St. Cyr • Luke 19:10, John 20:21
A disciple follows Jesus, is being changed by Jesus, and is on mission with Jesus. As we continue our series Becoming More Like Jesus, this Sunday we shift into living on mission with Jesus. Discipleship is not just about our personal growth. It’s about helping others come to know Jesus and become more like Him. Discipleship must always be in movement to the world. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. That was each of us. And now He sends us out to share the greatest news of all time with others. Join us this Sunday as we gain His heart for the lost and see our role in sharing the gospel.
Becoming More Like Jesus: Costly
November 5, 2023 • Aaron Hixson • Luke 14
Many of us were drawn to Christ based on the promise of a blessed, abundant life that would far exceed anything that we could ask or imagine - and then we actually found out what following Jesus would require, and it felt like a bait and switch. Too often, we off-road when we think that discipleship is intended to make our life better, or to make us better at life. Join us this Sunday as we discover that the calling of Christ on our life is inevitably costly.
