Giving Back

We've seen a lot of great examples of people giving to others in 2010 with the devastation of Haiti. But it doesn't take a huge tragedy to find God's love in action. Every day people around you are serving, showing the love and humility of Jesus.

Sanctus Real

Mark from Sanctus Real shared his thoughts about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and be discipled by someone else and a little about discipling others.

What does the word disciple mean to you? Do you think of it just as a Bible term, or have you ever considered yourself a disciple of Jesus? A disciple is one who follows and wants to grow to be like a teacher.

Who is helping you become a disciple of Jesus? How are you helping others become disciples of Him? Leave a comment and share your thoughts!
