Kids learn how Jesus chose twelve ordinary people to be His disciples and invited them to follow Him. Through the calling of fishermen and a tax collector, we see that Jesus didn't choose perfect people—He chose sinners He loved and came to save.

Every life-changing “yes” is built on a thousand smaller decisions that came before it. In this message on discipline, we'll explore how faithfully stewarding both our yeses and our nos shapes who we become and positions us for what God wants to do through us. Discipline isn't about restriction—it's about direction. When we learn to say no to what distracts us and yes to what aligns us with God's purpose, we create space for the big yeses that can change everything.
ACT 1 - DISCIPLE: EPISODE I OF THE HARMONY SAGA, 26min., USA Directed by Brad Reinhold The first act, reinterpreted by the director, of the award winning feature film Saga screenplays. Disciple; Episode I of the Harmony Saga is set 80,000 years after the disappearance of Earth. A Galactic Church rules the galaxy, enforcing dogma. Freedom fighters seek liberation. Samantha Sacre, a disciple of the Church, encounters something that will change the course of history forever, and must reconcile what she has learned with how she was taught and raised. This is only the beginning, and, as Sam says, "The best is yet to come." This mythopoetic journey into the far future challenges us to look beyond the surface of our realm, through the lens of a future civilization, and ask, "what does it all mean?" https://www.instagram.com/brad.reinhold —— Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Mark 3:13-19 Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. He appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles, that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach and to have authority to drive out demons: He appointed the Twelve: Simon, whom he named Peter; James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him. Reflection It's clear that Jesus wanted his message to continue and he needed teachers. And the best way to describe the word apostle is that they are the ones who do the teaching. But before they can become apostles, they have to be disciples. Disciples are learners. And when you think about these 12, they had the experience on a daily basis for a very long time to be around Jesus. I think it's interesting that they learned more by watching him wondering about him than they did about his telling them what to say. It's the same with us. We have to first listen and learn, and that experience. Closing Prayer Father, you give us two roles that we never, never lose. We're always learning and we're always proclaiming what we learn, what we believe in, what we trust in. Help us to sense the gifts that you have given us. We are always working with you for the world. That is the thing that gives us purpose. That is the thing that gives us value. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Most of what matters most in life and faith takes a long time to build and very little time to lose. Strength, trust, character, and spiritual stability are formed slowly, but they can erode quickly when perspective is lost.In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we talk about why long-term perspective is essential for discipleship, leadership, and church health. We explore how short-term thinking leads to reactionary decisions, discouragement, and abandoning good processes too early, while endurance and faithfulness over time produce stability.Faith is not formed in moments but across a lifetime. Perspective does not remove pain, but it does prevent panic.
We can understand Jesus ministering to children, and sometimes He did that. What about Jesus ministering with children? Because sometimes He did that! In Mark 9 and 10 we see a few incidents involving youngsters. The Disciples' instinct was to push them away: We're having a grownup discussion here, let's keep the rug rats out of the way, please. But the Lord welcomed them. What can we learn - not from children - but through the way Christ treated them?

Matthew 19:16-22He was closer than most; face to face with Jesus and wanted to learn more about eternal life. The rich young ruler was one decision away from following Christ. So close, yet so far. His story reminds us of a sobering truth: proximity doesn't always lead to transformation. Admiring Jesus isn't the same as following Him. He almost became a disciple and almost experienced eternal life.Here are five steps Jesus invited him to take but he chose not to.1. Accept that God is GOOD (vs 17)2. Sometimes God asks you to do IMPOSSIBLE things (vs 17)3. Stop focusing on what you've DONE (vs 20)4. Start focusing on who you want to BECOME (vs 21)5. Choose JOY, you have eternal life (vs 22)Watch this video to dive a little deeper!Let's keep growing togetherJoin us LIVE every Tuesday at 6:30pm on YouTubeText "UG" to 320320 to connectVisit UnstoppableGrowth.orghttps://linktr.ee/unstoppablegrowth.org

The measure is whether we tell the truth about the Lamb who's already ended it. John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." He said it once. And two thousand years later, we're still saying it. Still pointing. Still witnessing. Still waiting for the fullness of what God's already begun. Subscribe to us on iTunes!

Many people followed Jesus. Not all of them were truly His disciples.In this episode, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany Coker walk through John chapter 6 to examine one of the most challenging truths of the Christian life: discipleship is more than separation from sin. It requires active devotion to Christ.As many followers walked away from Jesus when His teaching became difficult, Scripture reveals three distinct types of disciples: nominal disciples, real disciples, and false disciples. This conversation explores how each group responds to Jesus, why separation without devotion can be spiritually dangerous, and how believers today can honestly examine their own hearts.What We Discussed02:26 Why Biblical Separation Is MisunderstoodBiblical separation is not about isolation or moral superiority. Scripture calls believers to holiness through repentance and obedience, not excuse or compromise, as seen in 1 Peter 1:15–16 and Romans 6.05:22 Separation from Personal SinChristians are called to deal honestly with their own sin through repentance, confession, and intentional turning away, rather than minimizing or justifying sinful patterns.08:20 Why Small Sins Are Spiritually DangerousHidden or “small” sins do not remain contained. Like poison in a well, personal sin affects prayer, spiritual sensitivity, relationships, and a believer's witness.09:54 Separation from Unrepentant BelieversScripture teaches that fellowship should be withheld from those who profess Christ yet persist in unrepentant sin, both to protect the church and to call the individual to repentance, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 5:11.12:41 Why the Church Must Take Sin SeriouslyUnaddressed sin spreads within the church like yeast through dough 1 Corinthians 5:6.13:42 Separation from False TeachersBelievers are commanded to test teaching against Scripture and separate from those who distort the gospel or deny its truth, following the warning of 1 John 4:1.18:31 Separation from the World SystemScripture calls believers to resist the values and priorities of the world that oppose God, choosing spiritual transformation over conformity, as taught in 1 John 2:15 and Romans 12:2.19:43 Set Apart, Not IsolatedBiblical separation doesn't mean withdrawing from people. It means living with distinct loves, loyalties, and standards while remaining engaged, compassionate, and Christlike.“Discipleship is not about perfection. It is about bringing every area of life under the Lordship of Christ.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback! If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review.

Pastor Keith Park preaches on The Heart of a Disciple Matthew 14:13-16*Video Feed was interrupted so sermon footage was lost we recommend viewing on Youtube*
In this message from Mark 9:14–29, we encounter a father caught between belief and doubt, desperation and hope. Coming down from the mountaintop of the Transfiguration, Jesus steps into the chaos of a broken world and meets a man who prays one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture: “I believe; help my unbelief.” This passage reminds us that faith is not the absence of doubt, but the courageous decision to trust Jesus in the middle of it. As we reflect on what it means to follow Jesus off the mountain and into real life, we're invited to rethink faith—not as something we muster up, but as dependence on the One who is always enough. When our faith feels fragile, Jesus remains faithful. When our strength runs out, His power remains. Wherever you find yourself today, this story calls us to bring our doubts, our hopes, and our need for help honestly before Christ, trusting that He is more than able.
Today we look at a problem that rose in the new church in Acts. It appears to include discrimination, favoritism, and hurt feelings. But what Tony really wants us to see in this text, today, is that word “disciple.” This is what is increasing in this new church, disciples. Not converts. Not Christians. Not believers. Disciples.
As we continue to unpack God's Word for the house with And Then… this week we focus on discipleship - what it means to be a disciple and how we intentionally follow Jesus. And then doesn't happen on its own - it requires purpose and pursuit. If consecration was the first step, discipleship is the next: learning to walk with Jesus daily, align our lives with His ways, and live out what He's calling us into next.
John Reynolds, Adult Ministries Pastor Every follower of Jesus is called to make disciples—this isn't optional, it's our mission as His ambassadors. The question is simple: will we step up, say "Here I am," and actively participate in what God is doing in the lives around us? Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Baptism can feel like a strange church moment—get in the water, get dunked, everyone claps. But Jesus didn’t include it in the Great Commission as a random tradition. In Matthew 28:19, baptism is tied to discipleship because it represents something massive: if you’re a disciple of Jesus, you’re dead to who you were and alive to who He is.  In this message, Pastor Joel Hastings unpacks why baptism matters, what it symbolizes, and why it’s the first step of obedience for every believer. Drawing from Romans 6, we see baptism as a picture of burial and resurrection—leaving the old life in the grave and walking in newness of life. And we’re reminded that what we need more than anything else isn’t a quick fix—it’s more of Jesus, the King who supplies everything we need.  Here’s a couple key takeaways • Baptism doesn’t save you, but it is a first step of obedience for every believer—and it preaches what Jesus has done.  • If you’re dead to your old self, don’t go digging back in the grave—leave the old sin behind.  • You don’t need more strength—you need more of Jesus. He is everything you need.  ============================= Connect with Grace Point Church: ============================= Instagram: https://instagram.com/gracepointnwa Facebook: https://facebook.com/gracepointnwa Website: https://gracepointchurch.net

John 15:1-11 English Standard VersionI Am the True Vine15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.English Standard Version (ESV)The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.ESV Text Edition: 2025.
