Mark 3:15

Over three days, we will look at how Jesus has called us to more by inviting us to go higher and further in our pursuit of Him. Let us explore the themes of being called, experiencing communion, and being commissioned by Jesus.

Jesus said "Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." We love and follow him because he first loved us.

The best kind of embrace is when someone who deeply loves us flings their arms wide open and pulls us close. Our hearts were made for this kind of love and security but many of us know more about the pain of heartbreak and fear. In Embraced , bestselling author and speaker Lysa TerKeurst shares her own struggles and doubts while pointing to the Ultimate Embrace: Jesus. 

Jesus called twelve ordinary men to follow Him closely so He could impart Himself to them. Jesus walked them through a process of development and maturing so that when He left, they could repeat this process with others. This practice of making disciples brings us together today. We’re Jesus’ disciples because twelve brave men spent time with Jesus 2,000 years ago and were sent to make disciples themselves.
