When Jesus said, "follow me," he blew up the "first round draft pick" approach of the day and chose ordinary people to follow him, thrusting them into a 24/7 apprenticeship for which they were not qualified...by the world's standards.
The first twelve spent roughly three years with Jesus. That's over 26,000 hours. Discipleship is a slow, long walk. We cannot be empowered, equipped, and released to make disciples by attending church 50 hours a year…but we can grow as we go.
Follow our podcast on your favorite platform or right here on our website. We will have sermons, conversations with current disciples, and short teachings about discipleship, leadership, and life. Will we get to 26,000 hours? Not likely. But there's tremendous value in going together.

Missing the Mark
Sin is one of those topics that some people say you can't talk about enough and others say you shouldn't talk about at all. There are a lot of reasons for both of those extremes, but a healthy approach lies somewhere in the middle...and it begins with understanding the whole big picture. Understanding what sin is and what it isn't helps us appreciate how good the news of Jesus really is.
