Church too often finds a sage on a stage addressing spectators. But the New Testament reveals a congregation where God's Spirit nourishes all through every member.
In His Yoke
Disciple doesn't mean just Peter, James and John. It's a word that describes anyone who answers Jesus' call to "Take My yoke upon you an learn from Me" (Matt 11:29).
Dying to Live
The world clings to fleeting life, "looking out for #1." But it is those who are immersed with Christ in His death who find life that never ends.
