What is a Disciple?

September 6, 2020 • Ron Merrell

As we begin our new series, The Ways of the Apprentice, We hear from Pastor Ron about what it means to be a disciple. We see that a disciple is a learner and follower, imitating that of their leader. What does that mean for us as followers of Jesus Christ?

As we look at the two main components of being a disciple of Jesus, we learn how we too can follow him, be with him, and be sent out by him. This week we are reminded of the commission given to us by God - to GO and MAKE disciples!

To hear more about how you can GO, tune into today's message and make sure to follow us for the rest of our series, The Way of the Apprentice.

How to & Who to Disciple

November 1, 2020 • Ron Merrell

In today's teaching, we ask the question, "If we were to take our cues from Jesus, then how would we disciple someone else?". This is exactly what Pastor Ron discusses as he wraps up our current teaching series, The Way of the Apprentice. We are challenged and inspired by this timely and practical message that walks us through John 13 & John 14. As we analyze the actions and words of Jesus, we see ways that we can be imitators of Christ and how we can disciple others around us. Pastor Ron then opened a conversation around what his steps following Jesus are looking like right now and going forward. Pastor Mike also shared about how God is stirring him toward stepping out in obedience. Our time together today was huge in the life of our church. Pastor John and the Elders joined the stage as Pastor Ron and Pastor Mike shared about where God is leading. To watch our family update and to hear about what's coming next for Pastor Ron and Mike, check out the video below! https://youtu.be/e2dhfelde2w

Us and Them

October 25, 2020 • John Challinor

Pastor John leads us through a conversation that addresses the inclination of viewing people through a lens that categorizes us from them. We begin to transition our mindset from having a divided mentality to seeing the humanity in people the way that God sees the humanity in people. We are challenged this week to set our heart on things above and to gain a heavenly perspective. In doing so, we begin to change our mindset from viewing people as being against us to being collectively for God. We as a people exist to encounter Jesus, to engage in our faith with Jesus, and to empower other people to go and do the same.

Disciples Make Disciples

October 18, 2020 • Ron Merrell

"One of the core essential things about being disciples of Jesus is that they GO they make other disciples". We have made it to week seven of the series, The Ways of the Apprentice, and we are LOVING this series. We've spent the last six weeks discussing different perspectives of being an apprentice of Jesus and now it's time to help others be discipled within their relation with Christ. Pastor Ron discusses 3 practical ways that we can be makers of disciples. In these steps, we see the importance of sharing the truth and hope of Jesus to those around us in our everyday lives. Today we are commissioned to GO and are left with the question, "who are you discipling, and who is discipling you?".
