Discipleship in Community (Jeff Lawrence & Dianne Miller)
Is it possible to follow Jesus alone? Well, Jesus began his work by inviting a small group of seemingly unimpressive men to become his disciples. Over three years, Jesus' character was shaped in them, Jesus' beliefs were refined in them, Jesus' mission was instilled in them, and Jesus' heart was nurtured in them. This vision for "discipleship in community" has rippled throughout centuries and continents, taking many different forms. What is undeniable, however, is that you can not fully follow Jesus on your own. The invitation to follow Jesus is an invitation to become a disciple as a part of a community of people who are learning to follow Jesus together. Do you have a small group of people that you connected to as a Christ-follower?

Instruction Thru Hardship
God brings hardship in our lives to correct us. He loves us and is concerned about our attitudes and actions. He is not punishing or destroying us, but causing us to share in his holiness.
