    Every believer is called to be a disciple of Christ. It is up to us individually to heed the call to follow the Lord as His disciples.

    The Call to Discipleship Matthew 4:19 As much as it hurts to admit, I truly believe the church has failed miserably in one vital area of ministry. Throughout the 80’s and 90’s there was a concerted effort to reach unbelievers with the Gospel, and the church rose to the call to ...read more

    Being a disciple of Christ requires a conscious, committed effort. We will never be effective disciples with a casual, unconcerned approach. It is a lifestyle we are called to commit ourselves unto.

    The Commitment to Discipleship Luke 9: 23-26 Let me begin by asking, how many Christians do you know? That is a difficult question isn’t it? Now it seems that everyone you talk to concerning the Lord has had some type of experience. Well, yes I’m a Christian; I was baptized and joined ...read more

    Many believers suffer "burn-out" or from lack of preparation. Like any other pursuit, if we are to be effective in service, we must make the proper preparations and condition ourselves spiritually.

    The Conditioning in Discipleship 1 Corinthians 9: 24-27 Over the past several weeks we have been discussing discipleship and what the Scripture reveals about being a disciple of Christ. I am convinced the Lord desires every believer to be a disciple, but discipleship is not immediate following ...read more

    The Credibility In Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016
     | 7,144 views

    Many are skeptical of the church because of perceived hypocrites. How do we obtain credibility in our witness to others? How do live and walk in such a way to be an effective witness? We must walk in Christ to possess the credibility we need.

    The Credibility in Discipleship Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35 We have spent several weeks discussing the importance and need for discipleship. In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded us to teach all nations to observe His teachings. In essence, those who follow Christ as His disciples are ...read more

    Are you ready to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus? Two examples: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament shows us what it takes to be disciple of the Lord Jesus. See how the Lord calls and equips his disciples.

    Does the prize you win worth the price you pay?

    The Cost of Discipleship Luke 14:25-35 Does the prize you win worth the price you pay? To truly follow Jesus Christ, we must consider the cost and put Him above everything else.

    Jesus commissioned His disciples to "Make Disciples of All Nations!" How can we do this? This message examines this command of Jesus and guides us in the beginnings of accomplishing this command.
