In this sermon "Questioning and Serving," part of the "Imitating Jesus: Healthy Mark of a Disciple" series, We focus on the vital role of questioning and serving in the journey of a disciple. This sermon highlights that true discipleship, as Jesus exhibited, is marked by asking good questions and dedicated service, both driven by love. To begin with, we accent the significance of asking thoughtful questions drawing ourselves and others towards a closer relationship with God, and drawing inspiration from how Jesus engaged people with intriguing questions about their beliefs and the truth. We emphasize the transformational power of good questioning, referencing James 1:19, and encourage meaningful dialogues that lead to truth discovery. By analyzing the conversation between the serpent and Eve in Genesis 3, This sermon underscores the hurtfulness of bad questioning and laments that Satan's manipulative questions led to humanity's downfall. However, the questions God asked Adam and Eve after the fall were driven by love, and aimed at redemption and restoration. This distinction is a powerful reminder to approach questioning from a place of love. The sermon later shifts towards serving, marking it as a key feature of discipleship. Jesus's example is depicted in Philippians 2:6-8, who embraced servitude to the point of self-sacrifice. Serving Jesus is not relegated to formal roles or positions, and it is a duty of every disciple, a humble act that can be carried out in their daily lives - at workplaces, homes, or in their communities. We conclude by emphasizing the need to regard questioning and serving as intertwined aspects of discipleship, deeply anchored in love.

This sermon titled "Mission" from the series "Imitating Jesus - Healthy Marks of a Disciple" discusses the characteristics of a fully equipped disciple who resembles Jesus. The sermon focuses on living a missional life by recognizing needs, sacrificially serving, and bringing glory to God. It highlights Jesus' mission and encourages listeners to develop a mission mindset through relational investment, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and loving people unconditionally. Overall, the sermon emphasizes the call to live out the gospel as a verb and to be intentional about fulfilling the mission of Jesus in everyday life.

In the sermon "Intimacy & Community", Derek explores the significance of these aspects in the life of a disciple. He emphasizes that intimacy involves personal transparency and renewal, while community involves living life with others faithfully. Pastor Derek uses biblical references to illustrate how God, Jesus, and the early believers valued intimacy and community. He concludes by urging believers to prioritize intentional relationships rooted in Christ, fostering deep connections and authentic community.
