Sermons About Discipleship
Treasuring Christ
Pastor Lance Parrott calls us to see through the story of the rich young ruler that following Christ means holding him as the greatest treasure. Do you value Christ above all things? Are you lacking the one thing that the young man lacked? Hear the Word of the Lord and find out to treasure Christ.

Full-throttle Following
Our text this morning introduces us to another and very important subject: discipleship. Now the word discipleship begs a number of questions. What does it mean to follow Jesus? Who is a true follower? What do real disciples look like? What does discipleship involve? What does it cost?

Jesus' First Call to Discipleship
Who was the man Jesus of Nazareth? Was he really the Son of God? Why was he rejected and killed? Did he really come back to life? If He's alive today, what does it look like to follow Him? These are the questions burning at the heart of Mark's Gospel. Join us as we explore the answers to these questions and see what it means, perhaps for the first time, to know and follow Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Service Towards Others
What does it take to be great? How is someone great in the Kingdom of Christ? From these three passages in the book of Mark (9:33-37; 9:38-41; 10:35-45) Pastor Lance Parrott calls towards service in the body, but with the right attitudes. These stories call us to have the heart of a servant - the very heart of Jesus himself. Hear the Word of the Lord.

Love Your Neighbor
The book of James is basic, entry-level, in-your-face Christianity. A real workout. Nothing fancy. No glamor-cize at the club. Just crunches, push-ups, and heavy bag work in a smelly basement gym. If you are up to the challenge, James will shape you into a hard-body believer. During this series, Fit Faith, we’ll tackle some of the most practical teaching outside of the gospels. James was known as "James the Just", someone who put his faith into practice in a real and practical way. James will stretch us to grasp the importance of putting our faith into action as described in God's word. Are you ready to get fit?

What A Change When God Moves In
Are you like a glove without a hand in it? Not moving. Not doing a thing! Or are you like a glove filled with a hand. Have you been filled with the Holy Spirit and is the Spirit moving within you to be obedient to God?

Jesus and the Bible
To believe the Bible is the Word of God, but separate it from daily experience is to misuse it, and to ignore Christ’s pattern for using the Bible.

The Cost of Discipleship: Pursuing Ease and Safety or Hard Obedience?
In Acts 21 we find Paul headed toward Jerusalem. He has a mission to finish, an offering to deliver and an assignment to fulfill - but there is trouble ahead. Like signs on a highway, the warning lights appear ahead of time. One road is hard, the other is easy. What should he do? Today in the Word we will look at different versions of the Christian life to discern which one rings true. In a sense, Paul’s dilemma is no different from Jesus’ dilemma which is no different from our dilemma.
