This Sunday we continue our series, Adventures in Discipleship, by taking the next step from following Jesus to helping someone else grow in their faith. In Acts 8, we see how God uses an ordinary person in an unexpected moment to make an eternal difference. If you have ever thought, “I wouldn’t know what to say” or “I’m not ready for that,” this message will encourage you. You will see that discipleship is simpler than we often think and that God is already at work in the lives of people around you.
You will not want to miss this because it will help you recognize the opportunities God is placing right in front of you and give you confidence to take a simple next step. Discipleship is not just for pastors or a few committed people. It is for everyone. Come ready to be encouraged and challenged to walk with someone as they begin or grow in their faith.
