The Old Testament is full of imagery of God's holiness. The consecration of the priests and vessels for the temple powerfully illustrate how we must reflect that holiness ourselves. But a lot of Christians today seem to think holy and consecrated lifestyles are just for those who lived during the "first big section of the Bible." But the truth is, they really do apply to our lives today, and are deeply connected to victory over sexual sin.

In a world full of noise, opinions, and shifting truths, the Scriptures stand as God's unchanging voice—revealing not only who He is, but who we are in Him. This message explores the transformative power of God's Word as the key that unlocks our relationship with Him in a way nothing else can.
Pastor John Miller continues our series in the Gospel of Luke with an expository message through Luke 17:1-19 titled, “Disciples Take Heed.”
1 John 5:1-5 Delivered December 7, 2025 at Disciples of Christ Worship Center, New Roads, LA
Sometimes it takes leaving a position to see what you've been missing the whole time. That was certainly the case for today's guest, Cory Hartman. After 13 years in a pastoral role, he entered a new chapter as a dad looking for a church for his family... And it was only then that he realized just how much time, money, and energy went into making sure the Sunday morning service ran smoothly. And that that same amount of resources was NOT being dedicated to disciple-making. Through a number of opportunities and new experiences, he ended up dedicating his time to building a network amongst disciple-making movements across the world, and continues that work with New Generations. We talked about the lessons Cory learned after leaving pastoral ministry, how to make disciples in our ultra-urban environments in the West, and what we can learn from other disciple-making movements around the world. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:36 Cory and New Generations 4:30 How it all got started 13:54 Lessons about church from outside a pastoral role 23:29 New insights on what the church is meant to be 29:29 How do we make disciples in the modern urban context? 40:15 Are there any western disciple-making movements getting to the 4th generation? 45:04 Starting chain reactions in the West Resources: New Generations: https://newgenerations.network Future Church by Cory Hartman and Will Mancini: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1540900614/ ---

An exponential Disciple-Making Movement requires real resources. But what if you could give once and fund disciple-making forever? Most ministries are stuck in an endless fundraising cycle. They spend more time chasing dollars than making disciples. But here's the reality: our discipleship model already multiplies on its own. The constraint isn't the engine—it's predictable, sustainable funding.In this video, Jeremy introduces the Discipleship Impact Fund (DIF)—a perpetual treasury designed to preserve your principal while funding disciple-making from yield, year after year. This isn't about one-time appeals or constant asks. This is about building a funding machine that works for generations.Here's what you'll discover:Why perpetual funding beats one-off donations for long-term Kingdom impactHow the DIF actually works (principal stays protected, distributions come from growth)The guardrails in place: board oversight, accountability, and disciplined stewardshipSmart giving strategies: DAF, appreciated stock, bitcoin, real estate, business equityHow your partnership scales a proven movement (5× growth, 88/10/2 financial stewardship)The numbers don't lie. Ordinary Movement has grown exponentially because ordinary people stepped into their calling. But to reach 100,000 disciple-makers, we need sustainable infrastructure. The DIF makes that possible.What if your giving could multiply disciples long after you're gone?This isn't just about funding a ministry. It's about creating a perpetual discipleship machine that outlives all of us and continues the Great Commission for generations. When you give to the DIF, you're not writing a check—you're building a legacy.Ready to take the next step?Learn more about the DIF → https://ordinarymovement.com/difPartner with OM (monthly or one-time) → https://ordinarymovement.com/partnerDownload our 2025 Ministry Overview → https://static1.squarespace.com/static/652d4067260c732edd010a67/t/690baed7e8cf99739a38ce5f/1762373335451/2025+Full+Ministry+Overview.pdf---Ordinary Movement is a discipleship platform that equips men and women to be disciples who make disciples.

Pastor Heather Jarvie discusses the story of Jesus healing a man blind from birth, highlighting how it wasn't just a miracle of physical sight but also one that opened the man's spiritual eyes.

Freedom Fighters | John 8:31–36 | Walking in the Liberty Christ Purchased In this powerful message, “Freedom Fighters,” Pastor Andrew Eldridge takes us deep into John 8:31–36, revealing Jesus' call for believers to walk in true spiritual liberty—not someday in heaven, but here and now. Many Christians quote “the truth shall make you free,” but Jesus teaches that freedom begins with continuing in His Word (v.31). Before truth sets us free, we must first abide—remain in, dwell in, and live by the Word of God. Freedom is not accidental; it is the fruit of discipleship. Using the powerful illustration of the American Revolution freedom fighters, Pastor Andrew reminds us that liberty is never won by passivity. Freedom must be pursued. Jesus—the ultimate Freedom Fighter—organized, strategized, sacrificed, and secured our victory on the cross. Now He calls us to stand fast in the liberty He purchased (Galatians 5:1). Throughout this message, we explore:
Balanced Belief | Colossians 1:24-26
Bryan interviews Annie Craig, Madison Hill and Kenzie Klinkhamer, three young women in their 20's who just completed a Hybrid Virtual Journey Group with women from New York City, Northwest Arkansas, Kansas City and Dallas. Their experience is very inspiring and lends validity to the statistics which say 80% of Gen Z are wanting more of The Bible. We are praying for a Discipleship revival among the next generation, and stories like this one tell us The Journey will help them.
The Lord never called us to be mere converts—He called us to be disciples. There is a difference. You can be a believer without being a disciple. A disciple is someone who continues in the truth of God's Word until it makes them free. God wants us to grow in His Word and experience the freedom to live the life He created for us.
Pastor Zack begins to close out our year long series ‘House of Discipleship’ and talks about our mandate as believers to make disciples.
Empowering Women in Discipleship: A Call to Action This video emphasizes the vital role of women in discipleship, exploring biblical examples and the importance of support from church communities. The discussion covers practical ways women, both single and married, can engage in disciple-making despite busy lives. Real-life examples and personal stories highlight the essential nature of women's involvement in ministry, offering encouragement and strategies for pastors and church leaders to foster inclusive discipleship environments. Check out Discipleship.org for resources on disciple-making: https://discipleship.org/resources/ Key Takeaways 00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Gender Equality 04:56 Four Key Points on Discipleship 14:11 Challenges in Women's Discipleship 18:07 Men's Role in Supporting Women's Discipleship 26:46 Panel Discussion: Insights on Discipleship 41:56 Empowering Single Moms 52:14 Balancing Discipleship and Busy Lives 01:01:21 Encouragement for the Weary Stay Informed - Get our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hPViAr See below for a longer description: In this insightful videoo titled "Why Women Should Become Disciple Makers | Trillia Newbell," various speakers converge to elaborate on the importance of women taking active roles in discipleship within the church. The discussion is introduced by Trillia Newbell, who emphasizes gender equality in the mission of disciple-making. The initial conversation covers logistical challenges and underscores the need for family support and good will from one's community. The dialogue transitions, to a penal where Bobby presents an earnest reflection on why women should be heavily involved in disciple-making. For a moment, listeners are asked to visualize a church devoid of women's contributions. This exercise serves to underline the essential roles women have historically played in biblical narratives—from Ruth to Mary, and further extending to modern-day church settings. Trillia Newbell also emphasizes the theological basis for women in discipleship, citing scriptures like Psalm 8 and the Great Commission. She introduces four key points to support her argument that all people, including women, are created to serve. The session continues as she elaborates on how societal constraints and gender wars often hinder women from fulfilling this divine calling. Yet, she reassures that God's design includes women actively participating in disciple-making. Further adding depth to the discussion, other speakers contribute their own experiences and observations. Arriana Rimson, shares her journey emphasizing the importance of having spiritual leaders and mentors who encourage and affirm women's roles in the church. She talks about the significance of creating space for women to use their gifts, drawing on examples from her own life including support from her local church and male colleagues. Other panel speakers recount their challenges and growth as a single mother and highlights the untapped potential within single moms for evangelism and discipleship. Both stress the importance of addressing the practical needs of single mothers as a form of holistic disciple-making. The episode's focus shifts to practical advice, as the speakers provide actionable insights on integrating discipleship into daily routines. For mothers juggling numerous responsibilities, the speakers propose inviting others into their existing activities to foster natural and organic discipling relationships. By sharing personal stories and pragmatic suggestions, they demonstrate that disciple-making can be woven into the fabric of everyday life rather than being perceived as an added burden. Towards the end of the episode, the conversation becomes deeply personal. The speakers open up about the weariness that many—especially women—feel as they strive to fulfill their callings amidst life's demands. They offer encouragement and remind listeners of the grace and help that God provides. They also underscore the importance of communal and familial support in realizing these discipleship missions. In conclusion, the speakers reiterate that every woman, whether single, married, a mother, or a professional, has an intrinsic calling and a special place in the mission of disciple-making. They advocate for church leaders, especially male pastors, to recognize, encourage, and equip women in their congregations, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for spiritual growth. This episode is a profound call to action, serving as both an inspirational message and a practical guide for women to embrace their roles as disciple-makers. It reassures listeners that by leaning on God's grace, they can overcome societal barriers and fulfill their divine mission within the church. Check out our Blogs: https://discipleship.org/blog/

Message preached at Grace Family Church, Caymanas Estate, Jamaica, by Matt Bahr on November 23, 2025.

There's a phrase that's fallen in use in recent times—delayed gratification! Seems the tech era and great prosperity in countries like America have shortened the patience of many folks in pretty dramatic ways.

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches on the power of giving thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:1818 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.Hebrews 13:55… For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”Luke 17:11-1911 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.John 6:5-13 5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” 10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they werefilled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.Ephesians 5:2020 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,1 Thessalonians 5:1818 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.Psalm 136:1-31 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. 3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever:Psalm 100:44 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.John 10:99 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.Psalm 69:3030 I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

A disciple is someone who continues in the truth of God's Word until it makes them free. God wants us to grow in His Word and experience the freedom to live the life He created for us.
When a Christian learns what the Lord offers His followers through His grace and their faith, they can live a truly different life. Now grace and faith are two of the most foundational concepts in Christianity. Many may think that means they don't really need to hear any more about them in order to win the battle against sexual sin. But the truth is that, far too often, these crucial components of Christianity are terribly misunderstood. That's partly why so many Christians are stuck in sin.

Country artist Walker Hayes joins Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans on The Upload to share the powerful story of how he went from skeptic to believer. For years, Walker’s wife Lainey lived out her faith while he stood on the sidelines, unconvinced. But after meeting a man named Craig—a friend whose radical generosity challenged everything Walker thought he knew about love and grace—his heart began to soften. Then, tragedy struck. During the birth of their daughter, Lainey suffered severe complications, and their baby girl was stillborn. Walker calls that heartbreaking moment the event that “made the knee bow.” What followed was a transformation that changed not only his faith, but his family, his music, and his purpose. Walker opens up about grief, grace, and the relentless love of a God who met him in the middle of his pain—and never let go.
