What Does A Disciple’s Life Look Like?

June 7, 2020

Welcome to this week’s message on “The Great Commission.” Pastor Harold Long breaks down Matthew 28:16-20 and asks the question, “what does a disciple’s life look like?” The message will challenge you to reflect on what kind of disciple are you? Is your church a disciple-making church? What sort of things need to change in your life and the life of the church so to no be sterile and eventually wither and die? We learn how the eleven disciples all struggled with doubt and immaturity, but discover how the Holy Spirit fills in the gaps of their imperfection. There are many promises to be revealed in this scripture reading today, so we are glad you joined us.

Thank you for joining us for today’s message. Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday and the power of the Holy Spirit in our presence. Our message today is influenced by 1 Peter 2:4-12, and is titled “A Movement in the Midst of Church Tension, COVID-19, and Racial Divide.” In today’s message, Pastor Harold unpacks our scripture reading and shows us the connection between Peter’s message and the calling we all have on our lives as kingdom people. We look at how we are each a stone in the temple and that by coming together, we can experience the Glory of God in a way we cannot as individuals. Lastly, we apply our scripture reading to our returning to live church on June 7, 2020, response to COVID-19, and the racial divide and unrest surrounding the death of George Floyd. Your heart will be challenged and hopefully convicted by today’s message.
