Over the last several weeks we have been talking about the process of disciple making as our Lord Jesus told all us to do as He departed the earth. We want to share the hope of Jesus, once one accepts Christ we would like to see people grow in faith and finally show love by serving. So today I want to talk about what a disciple of Christ is as we seek to grow in the relationship with the Lord.

- Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer. Hebrews 10:25 (Today’s English Version)

- Involved in small groups of some type
