Discipleship

The Lost Art of Following Jesus

One of the last things Jesus told his apostles was to “go and make disciples.” What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What does it look like to follow Jesus? Whether you're new in the faith or a longtime believer, it's so important that Christ be at the center of your life. In this special 2-part message series, Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., will teach from God’s Word about the basics of discipleship, and about what it means to follow Jesus in our world today.

Advent

What is Advent? The term advent is from the Latin translation of "coming.". God's prophecies in the Old Testament prepared the way for His promise. During December, Christians take part in advent as a way to celebrate the promise of the Savior, Jesus Christ both at birth and looking forward to His return.

"The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"God of hope, I look to you with an open heart and yearning spirit. During this Advent season, I will keep alert and awake, listening for your word and keeping to your precepts. My hope is in you." ~ Matthew Kelly

Teach Us To Pray

How The Lord’s Prayer leads us through all seasons of life

1 Thessalonians 5.17 – "pray without ceasing." Does prayer life seem to be a struggle sometimes? Do prayers make a difference? While some see prayer as more of a duty than a delight, Jesus saw it as essential. He hungered to spend time with God in prayer because He understood only then could He experience the Father’s peace, power, and provision in every season of life. In this study of Jesus' most famous prayer, we learn to talk to God with confidence no matter what we face. Be sure to check out each study of this series as Dr. Gordon Dabbs dives into this in-depth, life-changing study of each of the essential elements of "The Lord's Prayer."
