The Way of the Disciple: From Fear to Love

This last Sunday we began a new series on discipleship. Alex taught us through Colossians 3v1-17 and posed the question, what is the life of the disciple supposed to look like? Our working definition of discipleship is - the relational invitation to make your identity visible. It requires effort, intentionality, and thoughtfulness, but its foundation is love. You can only change to the degree that you understand God’s radical love for you. What does this look like practically? You begin dismantling the lies and fear that once formed your identity through choices you make with God, not apart from Him. Choices that reflect moving away from fear and moving towards trust. The vision of God from the very beginning of time is that humans would enter such a trust-filled relationship with Him, that they become unafraid sons and daughters - able to rule in love alongside Christ for the renewal of the world.
