Summary

This Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off our Fall sermon series, The Jesus Stuff, where we will examine the kind of disciples Jesus calls us to be by taking a deeper look at how He lived His life. When we obey what Jesus calls us to do, resolving to not only learn from Him but act like Him, we move from participating in generic faith to living explicitly for Jesus. The Gospel is our invitation to burn with passion for the person of Jesus, and our call to the missionary adventure of reminding people of the beauty of the Jesus Stuff.

1:05.8	bring God's word. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.
1:16.4	We're studying a series for the fall on discipleship,
1:20.1	and I want to open with a quote that has haunted me about church and discipleship ever since I read it.
1:23.4	It's from Neil Cole, and it says this.
1:25.6	Ultimately, each church will be evaluated by only one thing.
1:31.6	It's disciples.
1:33.5	Your church is only as good as her disciples.

1:41.0	if your disciples are passive, needy, consumeristic, and not radically
1:46.8	obedient, your church is not good.
1:50.5	Jesus gave the church one real task, and here's the task, make disciples.
