3 As we learned in Mark 10:52, a disciple is someone who follows Jesus. The Gospel of Mark helped us answer the question, Who am I following? We will now ask and answer the second question of discipleship, How do I follow? The Bible s blueprint for how a disciple is made can be summarized in three words: connect, grow, and serve. These three words connect to the mission Jesus gave His Church. They can help make that mission memorable and allow us to carry that mission with us on our spiritual journey. In John 15, Jesus illustrates how we are to connect, grow, and serve in Him and for Him, saying, I am the vine; you are the branches. This is to my Father s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. With a better understanding of who Jesus is, we must now have an understanding of how to follow Him. The Upper Room Discourse ( John 13-17) will be our guide as we seek clarity on how disciples are to follow Jesus. ADULT BIBLE STUDY Biblical Study of the Blood Covenant Beginning Sunday, Nov. 23, 10:45 noon Room 120 An understanding of blood covenants will open our eyes to some things hidden in God s Word. It will lead to a better understanding of our relationship with God, and should lead to a renewed or increased confidence to live in God s Spirit.
