Disciples never stop hungering for the gospel. Disciples hunger for the gospel because of the life it gives and the change it brings. Disciples hunger for the gospel through faith-driven individual pursuit and community equipping.

Trust the Holy Spirit to lead you. Trust God to break down strongholds. Trust God to give you opportunities. Trust God to help you endure difficulties. Trust God by never taking credit for what he has done.
We go together when we share life, when we give new people a chance to lead, when we combine efforts to meet needs, and when we worship and obey together.
To Go with the Gospel, we must learn that God prepares the way, embrace God's preparation of us, trust God with the results, and embrace the change that awaits.
Going to those who are different than us requires us to overcome difficult circumstances, setting aside prejudices, to have hard conversations, and to actually go.

Missions Pastor Raju Samuel leads a discussion with our summer missionaries regarding the work done in McAllen.
How did the earliest Christians go from a small group afraid to go out in public to a force that was described as "turning the world upside down"? They were dependent on God by letting God set the agenda, by working in God's power, by constantly seeking God in prayer together, and by waiting productively for God to work.

The Feast of Weeks is the celebration of the the wheat harvest and God's provision for this people that season. It was during this festival that the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples and brought in a harvest of 3,000 souls.

Through the Feast of Booths/Tabernacles, we see a foreshadowing of Jesus as the source of life for our souls and the hope of salvation for the nations.
Fully-devoted fellowships guard the gospel. We guard the gospel because it sets us apart. We guard the gospel by aligning our hearts and mouth with it and by discovering and holding on to truth.
A fully-devoted fellowship pursues godliness above all else. Godliness is our inner response to God that leads to outward change, should be increasing until Jesus appears, and must be anchored in the supremacy of God.
A fully-devoted fellowship is teachable and content.
Fully-devoted fellowships serve for the sake of others, even in hard circumstances, because our hope is not in this life.
A fully-devoted fellowship honors their elders, holds their elders accountable, and carefully examines potential elders.
A fully-devoted fellowship sets healthy boundaries for its ministries in order to equip others for important work and to reserve resources for those in actual need.
A fully-devoted fellowship intentionally builds a multi-generational ministry that urges all towards Christ-likeness, understands how to honor different groups without showing partiality, protects and provides for the elderly in need, and helps families understand their roles in caring for their households.
