Everyday Disciple: Following Jesus

New Sermon Series "Everyday Disciple"

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus, and why does it matter? How are we live out being followers of Jesus in the everyday stuff of daily life?

This Sunday, October 1st, we begin an 8-week series looking at the importance of practical discipleship such as following Jesus, believing truth, praying passionately, singing praises, walking through suffering, resisting temptation, knowing and using our gifts, and always rejoicing and giving thanks. Join us as we explore what it means to follow Jesus together as his disciples in South Seattle from Sunday, October 1st to Sunday, November 26th in our new sermon series "Everyday Disciple"
