DISCIPLESHIP 101

In Matthew 28, Jesus commanded His followers to go and make disciples. From those 11 apostles grew a movement, a church with nearly 2 billion adherents worldwide. But Jesus didn’t command the apostles to go and make converts, go and build a big church, go and gain numbers. He said go make disciples. A disciple is simply a learner. One who learns. One who follows. And that is what all of us are supposed to be. People who never stop learning about God and do their best to follow His example.

Matthew 28:19-20 NIV
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

As part of our church’s commitment to “Help all people become fully devoted followers of Jesus,” we decided to make GROWING one of our main focuses. We strive to create high-quality yet easily understood content to help make the complex parts of the Bible, Christianity, and God be understood by all.

Discipleship 101 is a series designed to explain the basics of our Faith and discuss often-used words and ideas that can be confusing.

Why do we serve?

August 27th, 2026

While our salvation cannot be earned by doing good works, our salvation compels us through love to do good works to serve God and others. We see this in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”. But verse 10 goes on to tell us that God has good works for us to do, “Fo...

What is Prayer?

August 27th, 2026

Prayer, put simply, is communicating with God. It is a privilege because our Creator, the Creator of the universe, wants to communicate with us. Prayer can be words spoken out loud in a public or private setting, and it can also be words spoken in our hearts, because God knows our hearts and our thoughts (Psalm 139:1-2). Prayer is a two-way conversation. It is an opportunity for us to express our ...
