What does it mean to become a disciple of Jesus? Often when the Gospel is presented it tells people how to BECOME a Christian and leaves out Jesus’ instructions on how to BE a Christian. Listen in as we explore what it means to say yes to Jesus’ invitation of “follow me.”

Our theme for 2024 is “Knowing Jesus and Making Him Known.” Listen in as we talk about how the invitation of Jesus is an invitation to a relationship and a task. This is the invitation that Jesus is still offering to us all. Finally we introduced our “40 Days of Courage” where everyone is encouraged to take steps of courage in sharing Jesus over the next 40 days. Our motto for the next 40 days is going to be, “Do it scared.”

Did you know new churches reach 10x’s as many new people as existing churches? Multiplication is costly but it’s worth it. Listen in as we talk about the cost and the importance of planting River Valley Church in Walpole, NH. 

2 Timothy 2:9-22 

Followers of Jesus are called to be “saints together.” Listen in as we finish up our series going through 2nd Timothy and see why the cost of community is worth it. The life of Paul also shows us that even when our community lets us down we can be comforted by the God who will never leave us nor forsake us.

When all is said and done will you be proud of what you have accomplished with your life? Reflecting on his life the Apostle Paul says, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” LIsten in as we explore how a life spent serving Jesus rather than living for ourselves is the path to the meaningful life we all want to life. 

Listen in as we explore Paul's final charge to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:1-6, emphasizing the urgency and seriousness of preaching God's Word. Remember how high the stakes are when it comes to our faith and the importance of sharing the Gospel message with passion and patience.

Tune in for a message from Jeff Ebert from 2 Timothy called "Your Spiritual GPS"

2 Timothy 2:22-26 

We spend so much of our lives trying to figure out what we are going to do with our lives. More important than what you do however is who you are becoming. In 2 Timothy 2:22-26 Paul gives Timothy five actions in helping him follow Jesus. They are flee, pursue, avoid, be, and trust. Listen in and see how these actions still apply to us today.

Have you ever found yourself incredibly busy yet wondering if you’re accomplishing anything meaningful? In this message we are reminded that  the church's primary mission is to make disciples. A key component of doing that is rightly handling God's Word. Listen in as we explore not  only the importance of teaching God’s word accurately, but also the danger of false teaching.

This week we looked at 2 Timothy 2:8-14 and saw that those who remember what God has done and cultivate the memory of his great work on their behalf will live for his glory. There is a direct link between our understanding and remembrance of what God has done for us and our passion in living for him.
