9/17/23 - Discipleshift - Matthew 28:19-20 - Pastor Jason Fritz

We’ve got something special for you church family!   This Sunday we will be stepping out of our study in Romans and bringing you something very important. For the last several months we have been planning a refocus of our priorities and purpose as a church. Our mission was made clear by Jesus when he said this in Matthew 28:19-20… "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Jesus set forth several commands explaining exactly what it means to be his disciple. We’ll explore these together and then we’ll be challenged to answer the call - especially for those who are ready to become disciple makers. Pastor Steve and his team have been leading the charge and I couldn’t be more enthusiastic to share this with you.  Here are a few words from him… We’re excited to unveil DISCIPLESHIFT this coming Sunday.  What is it? It’s our vision and plan to create a culture of discipleship at Illuminate – to see an environment developed where we can forge deep, authentic relationships in which we can be fully known and experience the grace and transforming power of Jesus Christ, and then follow Him in every area of our life. Discipleshift is built around one simple truth: Jesus makes you a new person with a new family on a new mission.  It represents our vision of the kind of disciple that we want to be and to make as a church. Sunday morning, we will be unleashing Discipleshift in order to equip you to follow Jesus with passion and purpose in all of life. Discipleshift is a journey that starts with the Gospel, and leads us through 12 key biblical dynamics of discipleship. Discipleshift is designed to help you press into these dynamics to become more of who Jesus wants you to be – like Him. More to come on Sunday...
