What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus?

In this message, we explore the heart of biblical discipleship through John 3:16 and Ephesians 2, discovering that following Jesus doesn’t begin with what we do—it begins with what God has already done. This teaching unpacks God’s rich mercy, His great love, and how true discipleship flows from receiving new life in Christ rather than striving in our own strength.

You’ll also hear how two subtle lies—self-sufficiency and self-condemnation—keep us from fully embracing Jesus’ invitation to learn from Him, and how God meets us with grace, compassion, and power right where we are. Whether you feel disqualified, worn down, or unsure of your next step, this episode points you back to the truth: God has made the first move, and He lovingly invites you into a life of discipleship rooted in mercy, not performance.

Everyday Disciple – Part 03: What Does the Gospel Require?

In Part 3 of the Everyday Disciple series, this message confronts a common misconception about Christianity — that following Jesus is simply an addition to our life rather than a surrender of our life.

Drawing from the teachings of Jesus and the writings of Paul and John, this episode explores what the gospel truly requires: repentance and faith — and what the gospel produces: obedience and spiritual fruit.

This message also establishes the importance of Scripture, the truth of the resurrection, and why the four Gospels are essential to understanding who Jesus really is. Discipleship is not about convenience or comfort — it is about transformation, surrender, and following Christ fully.

This is a call to real faith, real repentance, and real discipleship.

• The cost of following Jesus
• Repentance and faith
• Obedience as the fruit of the gospel
• The truth of Scripture
