    Matthew 28:19–20 (NIV) “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Sharing faith isn’t…

  • Disciples Path – Week 5: Day 5 – The Power of Encouragement

    1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) — “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” When we share our faith, we’re not only speaking words — we’re offering hope, support, and encouragement. Every act of encouragement plants a seed that can grow in someone else’s life, often in ways…

  • Disciples Path Week 5: Day 4 — Passing the Torch

    Psalm 71:18 (NIV) — ‘Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare Your power to the next generation, Your mighty acts to all who are to come.’ Every generation needs to hear about the faithfulness of God, and no one can tell that story better than those…

    Matthew 9:36–38 (NIV) — ‘When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.’ One of the most remarkable things about Jesus was His ability to truly see people.

    Psalm 107:2 (NIV) — ‘Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those He redeemed from the hand of the foe.’ Every believer carries a testimony — a story of God’s faithfulness that deserves to be told.

  • Disciples Path: Week 5: Day 1 – Living Faith is Sharing Faith

    Romans 12:1-2, The Message So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture…

  • Disciples Path: Week 4: Day 4 – The Structure and Organization of the UMC

    1 Timothy 3:1-7, CEB This saying is reliable: if anyone has a goal to be a supervisor[a] in the church, they want a good thing.  So the church’s supervisor must be without fault. They should be faithful to their spouse, sober, modest, and honest. They should show hospitality and be skilled at teaching.  They shouldn’t…

  • Disciples Path: Week 4: Day 3 – Oh How You Shine!

    Romans 12:4-8, The Message In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we’re talking about is Christ’s body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part…

  • Disciples Path: Week 4: Day 2 – You’re Being Called Out

    1 Peter 2:9-10, The Message But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to…
