DISCIPLESHIP SERIES

New Current: The Components of Discipleship

Message: QUIET TIME

Text: Various (Psalm 1; Luke 15:16; Matthew 14:13; Mark 1:35; John 6:14-15)

Synopsis: Psalm 1 gives us a compelling image of a disciple: a person who bears fruit because they are planted by streams of water; the fruit is contingent upon nourishment from the right source. Quiet time is about being nourished by The Source, who is God himself. Though Jesus had an unceasing connection with the Father, this nourishment included close friendships, ministry to the poor and outcast, and time of withdrawal with the Father; this message will explore a few specific reasons why Jesus may have spent these times alone with God.

Current Series: The Character of a Disciple
Message: The Tongue
Text: selected scriptures
A message examining the necessity of communication. Saying what we should but don't so that we don't say what we shouldn't. Talking about how God speaks to us. It's all love and gravy.
