WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

NEW Sermon Series:
Disciple:  Be One.  Make One
This Sunday (10/4): 
Above:  Be a Learner
Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20
  
Elisha had Elijah; Joshua had Moses; John had Jesus; and Timothy had Paul.  It is always important to have someone from which we can learn and grow in the Spirit.  What we will discover this week is that in order for us to make disciples, we must be a disciple and be humble enough to learn from someone else.  This Sunday we will unpack the need for all of us to be poured into by someone who is above us spiritually. - ART
