Maybe you’ve thought that you really need to be discipled before you can disciple. It is certainly crucial to be a disciple. But Jesus gave the command to make disciples to you. And part of being a disciple, in fact, is to disciple. Part of growing in maturity is helping others grow in maturity. God wants you to be in churches not merely so that your needs are met, but so that you will be equipped and encouraged to care for others.

A Message from our Provider:

“When I grow up, I want to be like Jesus.”

Jesus said that we will know the truth about Himself only if we are willing to do His will, that is, if we allow ourselves to be changed by the truths we find in Scripture. He said, 'If any man's will is to do His will (that is, if he determines to do it), he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority' (John 7:17). We must not assume that we will be able fully to understand any passage of Scripture unless we are willing to be changed by it.
