The teaching and discipleship ministry is to the church what an engine is to a car. You can have a beautiful car with a perfect paint job, immaculate interior, and the best technology, but without a working engine, the car is useless. It is nothing more than a showpiece. When a church fails in the area of discipleship, we are nothing more than a showpiece. This is so critical to the success of our church and to our individual walk with Christ.

I pray you will join us this weekend as we look at the essentials of discipleship. You will be encouraged and challenged. I also encourage you to invite someone to join you. We may focus on discipleship, but we can’t focus on discipleship without also focusing on the greatness of the gospel.

Don’t forget we also have a Saturday night service at 5 pm in the main sanctuary. You can also watch on online or join us at Reach Paola, Reach Raytown, and Reach De Soto! — Pastor Chad
