Purpose: Discipleship

God is doing something very special in the life of each Christian. As we grow in spiritual maturity, God is creating each of us more and more into the image of Jesus. That doesn’t mean we look like Jesus physically, but we do come to “look” more and more like Him in our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Since Jesus is the only perfect and sinless person, that means we become more and more perfect and also sin less and less as we grow into His image.

This is something that God does, but we can choose to cooperate and help out the process. We can pray, read the Bible, worship and serve with other Christians through the church. As we learn more about Jesus’ teachings, we can choose to follow them more closely. Just as with our friends, we become more like Jesus as we spend more time with Him.

Our Bible story Sunday is about the disciples Jesus chose to be with Him and learn from Him. Although we can’t walk the hills of Galilee and listen to Jesus as He teaches today, we can be disciples too as we learn about the things Jesus did and taught through the Bible. The disciples became even more like Jesus when the Holy Spirit came to live in them at Pentecost. That same Spirit lives in us today and enables us to be like Jesus.

Join us this Sunday as we learn about being Jesus’ disciples…and bring a friend!

Tom and Sydney Cook
