Are you truly a disciple of Jesus? 

This weekend, Pastor Lane Long preached a powerful sermon on the discipleship pathway, challenging City Church family to self-identify where they are at in their discipleship journey. We learned that according to scripture, it is impossible to be a disciple without moving towards discipling someone.

In this episode, Pastor Adam Breckenridge teaches us that if Jesus' mission was to seek and save the lost, hospitality was his method. Hospitality was so important to Jesus, it was listed as a qualification for being an elder!

Tips for practicing hospitality:

1. Remember that the call to be hospitable is really just a call to be ordinary.
2. Remember that hospitality is about service, not performance.
3. Remember the hospitality Jesus has shown you by seeking you out when you were lost.
