What can spending 10 minutes a day in 2010 accomplish? Reading through the New Testament in one year!
Yes, Jesus! I believe you are my Savior and Lord! Now what…..? Our joy and call as disciples are to live our lives growing into fully devoted followers of Jesus. But how exactly do we understand that joy and call - What is a disciple, and how do we grow in spiritual maturity? What is a growing disciple? A maturing disciple is a person whom God has redeemed and given a new life in Jesus through faith, who continues to grow in living faith through the Holy Spirit across a lifetime, becoming a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Below are just a few of the ways we do this at 1st Presbyterian Church
How do we grow in spiritual maturity? By participating with God! We gratefully acknowledge that growing as disciples is not something that God asks us to do on our own. God is the one who works in us through the Holy Spirit, transforming us into Christ’s image. God does the growing in our lives, but he asks us to participate in the growth. Though there are many ways to participate, there are five “practices of discipleship” that we hope you will engage in as God leads. All our programs for adults seek to engage adults in one of these five practices.
