Who a Disciple is

Being a disciple according to scripture isn’t a program…it has nothing to do with a prescribed process…rather, it has more to do with a person’s IDENTITY than their actions.

How a Disciple lives

Our IDENTITY IN CHRIST shapes and informs our actions and lifestyle...but what does that lifestyle look like? There is a verse in the New Testament that is HUGE in answering this question: 1 John 4:17 “because as He is, so also are we in this world.”

The “Nazarite Vow” as a metaphor for following Jesus

Buried in the pages of Scripture is an amazing image of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Oddly enough, it comes from the Old Testament, not the New. Yet the image that it portrays is one of the most vivid in all of the Scripture about what it means to be a Christ-follower… the Nazirite Vow.

How do we grow as Disciples?  There are many ways that we can be “formed in Jesus” (Galatians 4:17).  This paradigm is based upon the mystery of the Trinity.  Just as God has created us in HIS image, so He calls us to live in the power of His presence!  As Jesus is formed in you, we keep growing God’s love, grace, and purposes!  The point is – let us ALL live “up, in, and out” as disciples seeking to be faithful to Jesus living in and through us!
