We are united to Christ; the living stones are joined to the cornerstone. In that way the church becomes the true house of God. Peter’s language is corporate. He thinks of the spiritual temple, not as the body of an individual believer, but as the body of believers, the company of those who are joined to Christ.
– Edmund Clowney (1917 – 2005)
Faced with a pile of problems, we may say with our lips that only prayer can solve them, yet we talk more than pray, worry more than pray, and scheme more than pray. In sum, everything is put before prayer. – Watchman Nee (1903 – 1972)
One week from today, on Wednesday, March 1, at 7pm at Horizon Central, we begin a 12-week series called Make Disciples. During the 12 weeks, we will address areas on a comprehensive discipleship map. After discussing each area, we will try to establish Milestones that would provide evidence of personal spiritual growth – markers that we work toward.
Below you will find links to an overview of the full 12 weeks and for the first area on the map that we will address, Embracing God’s Story: The Gospel of Grace.
The author of Hebrews was a Jewish-Christian rabbi whose audience was growing weak in their convictions. He is encouraging them to be strong and remain steadfast in their faith.
