She also shares “Christ's Method” of discipleship:

2) Connect: Jesus reached out and connected with people.

4) Disciple: Jesus chose 12 men to follow Him and learn Kingdom truth from Him.

Testimony Sunday
April 2, 2023 • Revelation 12:11, 1 Peter 3:15
We are excited to share with you a number of personal testimonies of people from our congregation who have experienced the grace of God in their lives and have surrendered their hearts and lives to live and serve Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Their stories reflect on the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, who came to earth to give His life as the ultimate sacrifice for mankind's sins. As God incarnate (in the flesh), Jesus' holy life and His total surrender to death on the cross of Calvary accomplished the atonement for sin and redemption of humanity that God the Father required. His burial and resurrection to life three days later provided affirmation of His deity, the effectiveness of His sacrifice, and now the witness of His Holy Spirit indwelling Christ Followers today continues to witness to the saving grace of God.
We hope you are inspired by these simple testimonies and that they arouse in you an interest and spiritual desire to know Jesus Christ yourself.
Today's Testimonies Include: Mike Smith, Sharon and Dave Smith, Alma Clark, Pastor Mark Geer (video), and Pastor Mark's parents, Berniece Geer and Pastor Leland Geer. Our moderator for today's service is Roland Fernandez.
"Are You A Disciple?"
February 19, 2023 • Pastor Josh Keck • Luke 14:25–35, John 10:27
Pastor Josh Keck gives a stirring talk in this message on the topic of “Are You A Disciple?” In it he answers the question, "Why is it important to be a disciple?" If Jesus is Who He says He is (and He is), then we have to believe Him and follow Him as He commanded. And discipleship is what Jesus required of the church. (Luke 14:25-35; John 10:27)
In today's message Pastor Josh gives these six characteristics of a disciple:
1) A true disciple will put God as a priority over family and friends and consistently choose holiness over worldly choices.
2) A true disciple will model self-sacrifice over self-centeredness.
3) A true disciple embraces the life of pain rather than assuming a life of pleasure.
4) A true disciple elevates relationship with God over religion.
5) A true disciple will choose commitment to God over convenience.
6) A true disciple is useful, not useless.
May you be blessed by this message and discover the joy of being a Disciple of Jesus!
