[Church and Discipleship] Faith in Action (9/13)

June 30, 2011

By Louie Rudin Recently, there just seemed to be this “urging” inside of Tom to get to know the folks living right there in his neighborhood. He mentioned this to Tony, who suggested that Tom might simply try looking for ways to serve them. Months passed and it seemed that all the interactions that Tom…

[Church and Discipleship] Real Community [8/13]

June 27, 2011

Tom and Cindy have been attending services at EPIC for several years now. They live in an old neighborhood that has an elementary school, a privately owned supermarket and small park.

[Church and Discipleship] The 1st and 21st Centuries Collide [6/13]

June 20, 2011

Without question, the pure model of the first century church is far removed from our current culture. We have a consumerist mentality combined with a desire for independence that makes us difficult to please or know. We come home in our SUV’s and as we drive up the driveway the garage door opens and swallows…

[Church and Discipleship] The Modern Dilemma [5/13]

June 19, 2011

In light of all this I’m relatively confident that the following is what discipleship is not– it’s not a twelve week program of bible study and scripture memory that may be accessed online. It’s not a sermon series centered around Matthew 28. It’s not the latest book on “Five Ways to be a Better Disciple”.…

I really loved this video. It really sums up a lot of what I’ve been learning in college and what I have been trying to live out in my life. Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.
