True love glorifies the Lord.

In these verses, separated by other events in the context, Jesus describes the terms of discipleship. As we study this together, we will identify the terms of discipleship presented by Jesus.

Praying isn't just "talking back to God." And it's not meant to be a rote, mechanical exercise, let alone a good luck charm. Prayer is a conversation where we learn to pour out our gratitude and praise to God, surrender our will to his, and trust him with our needs – no matter how big or small.

September has historically been the kick off month for our Church year. This Sunday with our mission's emphasis, it is good to be reminded as to why we as a church exist. We are not simply to be one big happy family, a social club. But rather we exist to 'Share Christ and Build Believers' We've been given the mandate to 'Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and then teaching them to observe all that Jesus has commanded. We are to be fully devoted disciples ourselves who are growing in our faith. But we are also to be disciple makers. Reproducers producing reproducers. That is our mission, our mandate: Share Christ and Build Believers.

With that message comes the calling to follow Him and leave everything else behind. That same message and calling are given to us, how will we respond?

"The second leg on the 3-legged stool of missions is Discipleship. This is more than just teaching.
