In Matthew 28:18-20, we're reminded of God's plan A for His church: a dynamic rhythm of gathering and going. The Great Commission isn't just a command, but an invitation to participate in God's redemptive work. We're called not only to follow Christ, but to make disciples who make disciples. This isn't a burden, but a blessing - a chance to pour out our lives as a drink offering, mirroring Christ's sacrifice. As we gather, we're strengthened; as we go, we're stretched. This rhythm isn't just about personal growth, but about being part of a 'we' - the body of Christ. Whether we're new believers or long-time members, we're all called to this beautiful dance of coming together and reaching out, always remembering that as we do so, Christ promises to be with us to the end of the age.  Read More

In the work of making disciples the journey doesn't end at the moment of salvation it's just the beginning. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 challenges us to not only make disciples but to mature them. This process of growth is God's will for His people, His work in us, and our responsibility. We're called to equip and empower one another to live out our faith in loving service. It's a beautiful reminder that we're not meant to walk this path alone. Together as a community in study and practice, we grow together, sharpening each other as we strive to become more Christ-like and help others do the same.  Read More

The call to follow Jesus is just the beginning of our journey. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 serves as our foundation, calling us not just to be disciples, but to make disciples. This isn't about notching spiritual belts, but about a transformative process that reflects Christ's own pattern: follow Him, be with Him, be sent by Him, and He will be with us. As we engage in this discipleship pathway of making, maturing, and mobilizing, we're participating in God's grand design to multiply His kingdom. It's a powerful reminder that our faith isn't meant to be a spectator sport, but an active, engaging process that impacts every aspect of our lives and the world around us. We're challenged to move beyond mere consumption of Christian content and into the realm of active disciple-making, recognizing that this is the true solution to the brokenness we see in our world.  Read More

In Matt 4:19 message, we're invited to explore the framework for following Christ. The key spiritual lesson revolves around the three-fold nature of discipleship: being upwardly fixed on following Jesus, inwardly conformed to His likeness, and outwardly made known through visible, obedient action. This framework challenges us to examine whose face truly has the spotlight in our lives - our own or Jesus Christ's? We're encouraged to see evangelism and discipleship not as mere tasks, but as natural outflows of holding fast to Christ and leading others to the One we're following. This perspective shift can transform how we approach our daily lives, seeing every moment as an opportunity to make the invisible kingdom visible through faithful Christian living and witness-bearing.  Read More
