Adult Discipleship

Midweek Study:
James - The First Real Christian by J.D. Walt
Do you remember the first real Christian you ever met? There’s a quality about these kinds of people. They step up, put their money where their mouth is, and do the Word of God. Their lives beckon the followers of Jesus to stop phoning it in. James was like this, a true agent of awakening. His life and words operate like a reverse snooze bar. As we start to drift into sleep, his words offer a wake-up call. Through this Daily Text discipleship resource, James will implore us day after day to become real Christians. There are many people all around us who have been hurt by hypocrisy and who will only be healed by seeing the genuine article. Widows, orphans, and so many caught in the cruelty of inescapable poverty wake up every day with hopes of meeting their first real Christian. Jesus has all their numbers, and James has ours. He’s looking for more friends like us. Let’s join him and add to his tribe of the first real Christians.

Midweek Study: Bridges Out of Poverty
Would you be surprised to know that what is perceived about poverty is not what is real and true? What would God have us do to serve those in poverty? Have you ever considered how a follower of Christ can best serve those living in poverty? Bridges Out of Poverty is a unique and powerful class that will connect us with the lives of those currently living in poverty. It arms Christians with education to better serve people in poverty, as well as how to increase the likelihood of moving them from welfare to work. Because our church serves people enduring poverty, only a deeper understanding of their unique challenges and strengths will help us partner with them to create their best opportunities for success and a wonderful opportunity to fulfill our calling to serve and love our neighbor.
