John 5:1-15...

In John 4, Jesus has the longest conversation recorded in the Gospels. We see from Jesus this amazing ability to have a spiritual conversation with anyone, anywhere. How can we learn to speak of God more often? Can we learn to have spiritual conversations outside of our normal church settings? One practice to implement is creating a new habits of making spiritual statements...

In John 1:35-51, we see some important rhythm's modeled for us in disciple-making...

As we continue to explore "missional discipleship," we now turn to the Gospel of John as a guide for practical disciple-making. We imitate Jesus, and in John 1:14, we are told that through the incarnation, Jesus was "among" us. Or, as Eugene Peterson once put it, He "moved into the neighborhood."

The Sower provides a missional model for us. The parable & explanation Jesus teaches in Matthew 13:3-9; 18-23 is like two sides of the same coin. What type of soil are you? As disciple-makers caught up in the mission of God, how can we sow quality seed to everyone, everywhere we go?

Pine Tree has a strong missional heartbeat. How can we take that missional enthusiasm and begin to equip everyone to be everyday disciple-makers? Understanding our time and place is important. We live in a mission field. We are a sent church, not just sent individuals. Psalm 137:1-4; Jeremiah 29:4-7; Luke 10:2

God is a sending God.
