Finding Faith Through Friendship

Week 3, Day 14 - Disciple

August 26, 2021 • Brian Kelley • Acts 19:20

Keep pursuing your friends who don’t know Jesus. It’s easier said than done, I know, and different people are definitely receptive to different approaches. With Baran, it was friendship and community that really helped him. I think going into our conversations without an agenda was a plus. However you approach those in your life who don’t know Christ, I pray the Holy Spirit will guide you

Pass The Baton

September 3, 2021 • Melissa Fredericks • 2 Timothy 2:2

Today I want to share some instances where others discipled me using the unique gifts God gave them and encourage all of us to pass the baton.

Discipleship Equals Proximity

September 2, 2021 • Cliff and Deb Porter • 1 Thessalonians 2:8

I want to challenge you to pull someone close and invite them into your world. Be transparent and be vulnerable. Share with them your prayers and what you are believing for and struggling with. Show them that discipleship is a lifelong endeavor. Demystify God! When people see us for who we really are, shame has no place, and where there is no shame, God can transform you.

A Two-Way Street

September 1, 2021 • Diana Fang • Colossians 3:14–16

If I wanted to be rooted—in Christ, in community—then I had to show up, and relationships are a two-way street, and being rooted is not passive. When I wake up, I have a choice to make. I can choose the words that were spoken over me as a child, or I can choose the words of who God says I am. I choose God. Every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. I choose God.
