"Disciple" is one of those words we often use in church settings, but even if we know what it means, we may not know exactly how to be one. Over the coming weeks, we are going to be focusing on the idea of being a disciple. What does it mean to be a disciple and what will it practically require of us if we are actually going to do it? We hope you'll join us each Sunday morning in worship at 10:30 a.m. as we turn to scripture to try to unpack and demystify following the way of Jesus as a disciple.

"Right & Responsibility"
2 Timothy 3:10-17
We confess that every person has the right & responsibility to read and interpret scripture for him/herself under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the context of Christian Community. How do we practice this right & responsibility?

"Time & Intentionality"
Acts 11:19-26
If we are to be disciples, it will take intentional investment of our time into relationships with those who can help us grow. How can we do that?

"Encouragement & Accountability"
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
As disciples of Jesus we need other believers to help encourage us and to correct us; we cannot do faith alone. What should that community look like?

"Decision & Continuity"
Psalm 78
Part of discipleship is testifying about God to the next generation, so they may believe in God and choose to follow Jesus, too. What is our responsibility for helping make room for and shape the faith of those who come after us?
September 17
"Assurance & Humility"
Acts 17:16-34
As disciples, we must be winsome in how we share our faith, always meeting others where they are and inviting them to follow Jesus with us. How can we be people of faith in a pluralistic society without being harsh or abrasive to our neighbors?
