As we navigate the discipleship journey, Pastor Mike reminds us that our joy is not only found in personal growth but when we invest in others. Drawing inspiration from the New Testament, he highlights the apostle Paul's repeated expressions of joy in those he mentored and walked alongside.
Discipleship, is not only about gaining knowledge but experiencing the profound joy that comes from fostering genuine connections, much like the discipleship communities in the early church.
Let's be intentional about pursuing discipleship together. Whether you've been a follower of Christ for years or are just starting, there's a place for you to connect, grow, and experience the joy that comes from being deeply rooted in Christ, both individually and as a community.
