The Life Of A Disciple

What really matters? That is the question we have been asking ourselves as a church. Beyond finances, events, and attendance, we believe the true measure of health is this: Are we making disciples? Not just attendees, but disciples of Jesus who live in deep relationship with Him, reflect His character, and participate in His mission. In an age of over-programming, information overload, and spiritual fatigue, we sense God calling us back — not to something simplistic, but to something essential: the life of a disciple.

In this three-part series, we will explore what that life looks like. First, a disciple is someone who hears God — not just about Him, but from Him. Jesus said His sheep hear His voice, and we want to be a church where that is normal. Second, a disciple lives the Beatitudes. In a world that constantly tells us where happiness can be found — status, success, wealth, and self — Jesus offers a radically different vision. To live the Beatitudes is to resist the deep currents of the world and to be tethered instead to the way of the Kingdom. And third, a disciple shares their faith, stepping out in courage and compassion to bear witness to the good news of Jesus through invitation, justice, mercy, and power.

The life of a disciple is not easy. It requires grace, intentionality, and community. But it is the life Jesus invites every one of us into — a life with God, for the world. As a church, we are recommitting ourselves to this path. May this series renew our vision, reorient our hearts, and reshape our lives. Let us be disciples. Let us make disciples. Let us live for the glory of God and the joy of the world.
