Starting a series through Colossians, we find in the opening verses that the heart of the Gospel is about changing lives.

Pastor Dave shares his testimony, a story that many can relate to and from which find hope, redemption, and restoration.

Learning from Jesus' invitation to and teaching of the Twelve, we see that His discipleship/mentorship program has not ended. He has invited us to join Him, learn from Him, and do life with Him in community with other believers.

One of Jesus' simplest commands may also be His hardest to follow. In fact, without His help, it's impossible: "You must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matt. 5:48)

Following the example of the early church, we find four elements useful in developing the community and intentional relationships that are beneficial for the purpose of mentorships.

Pastor Dave interviews three church members about their real-life mentorship experiences.

Jesus mentored both Judas and Peter with very different results. Like in discipleship, mentorship requires one to be FAT - Faithful, Available, and Teachable.

Church member Darian Nikula highlights contrasting examples of mentorship in the lives of Joshua and Rehoboam.

This is what mentorship is all about - it’s telling the next generation about everything we have seen and heard as we have learned to follow Jesus.

When you are intentional about using your relationships to show others how to apply God’s truth to their lives, even if we don’t do that perfectly, God works through that in some amazing ways.
