We have one job-----> MAKE DISCIPLES
Raising up disciples of Jesus is the primary work of the church.
Matthew 28:18-20
"Disciples"-- models their life after another; learns within close relationship
We are to make disciples of Jesus, not ourselves.
1 Corinthians 8:1
Jesus taught in and through the context of relationship.
We do life together-----> Gospel Community
Becoming a disciple of Jesus is not exclusively individual, but necessarily communal.
We grow best in groups, not rows.
Gospel Community High Water Marks:
Romans 12:4-8
Hebrews 10:24-25
Galatians 6:2
James 5:16
Romans 12:10, 15
