Following Jesus Into Peacemaking

Week 4, Day 17 - Disciple

August 31, 2021 • Becca Pugh • Matthew 5:9

Two of my most formative discipleship experiences since I became part of the NCC family have been in prayer and in peacemaking. I joined the prayer team at NCC Georgetown several years ago at the prompting of one of the leaders, and from there was discipled by multiple prayer warriors who truly interceded for the family of God and all those who are seeking Him.

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.
