Our Journey Together: Sent Together as Disciples

Published: Sept. 8, 2019, 11:33 p.m.

b'Why does Wellspring Church exist? To make disciples of Jesus through the Gospel. Plain and simple. That\\u2019s not so radical or cutting edge or different. It is straightforward from the Bible. Jesus told His disciples (and the church moving forward) in Matthew 28:19, \\u201cGo therefore and make disciples of all nations.\\u201d If we want to be followers of Jesus, we can\\u2019t decide this is too taxing or difficult or time-consuming. We can\\u2019t say to Jesus, \\u201cJesus, you don\\u2019t know how hard it is to disciple THESE people\\u201d (remember Jesus\\u2019 disciples, Peter who denied Jesus in his greatest time of need DESPITE promising he will fight to the death for him, Judas who betrayed him for a small amount of money, James and John who were fighting WHILE Jesus was standing right there as to who is the greatest, Thomas doubting Jesus after the resurrection, etc.). No, we can\\u2019t say, \\u201cJesus, you don\\u2019t understand HOW difficult it is to disciple THESE people\\u201d to Jesus.\\nTo follow Jesus is to disciple others and to be discipled. This month is a month we will be spending together exploring Our Journey Together. And today we will be focusing on specifically Discipleship at Wellspring, the practical outworking of discipleship here is Discipleship Groups. I am praying that you open your ears and heed just how critical discipleship is for your life, both as one who disciples and one who is to be discipled. As disciples, we must remember, 1) We are called, 2) We believe, and 3) We disciple.\\nText: Romans 10:13-15Speaker: Sam ShinDate: September 9, 2019'
